The job description

About the Role

What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands the way real people speak? We're partnering with leading AI research teams to capture authentic, natural human speech — and we need professional voice performers who speak Mexican Spanish to make it happen.

This is a paid contract role involving in-person studio recording sessions. You'll perform natural conversational dialogue that helps AI systems learn to understand real, human-sounding speech — not robotic, scripted output. This project does not involve voice cloning.

Type: Contract
Session Format: 2–3 sessions of 4 hours each
Location: Professional recording studio (locally assigned in Mexico)

What You'll Do

Record natural, conversational Spanish (Mexico) speech in a professional studio environment
Participate in solo recording sessions and dual-speaker dialogue exchanges
Deliver realistic, unscripted-sounding performances across a range of tones and scenarios
Follow light direction to adjust pacing, tone, and delivery as needed
Bring authentic Mexican Spanish accent and cadence to every session

Who You Are

A professional voice actor or voice-over artist with real recording experience
A native or near-native Spanish (Mexico) speaker with an authentic regional accent
Currently based in Mexico
Comfortable performing natural, conversational dialogue — not just scripted reads
Reliable, professional, and receptive to direction in a studio setting
Working-level English for communication purposes

Nice to Have

Acting or performance background
Prior experience in broadcast, podcasting, or professional studio recording
Comfort with both solo performance and back-and-forth dialogue sessions

Why This Role

Contribute to cutting-edge AI research alongside leading technology teams
Meaningful, focused work — a small number of well-structured sessions, not an open-ended commitment
Be part of something bigger: your voice helps AI understand real people, not just text
Work with a professional crew in a proper studio environment
Potential for additional sessions as new projects launch
