British English · Remote, United Kingdom · Freelance

Remote, from home. This listing is for English speakers in and around Manchester. The same work is open to English speakers anywhere in the United Kingdom.

What the work is for

Speech systems have to follow people who talk freely, not only people reading aloud. Spontaneous conversation is the one thing scripted recordings cannot give a model.

The work

  • Hold recorded conversations on the topics the project provides.
  • Talk the way you normally do. There is no script to read.
  • Keep the audio quality within the project's guidelines for the whole session.

What to expect

  • Before you record, the platform takes you through a microphone test and an intake step.
  • Some projects record you alone, others in pairs or groups.

What you bring

  • Your own device to record on.
  • A quiet room to talk in.

You need

  • Native or near-native command of English.
  • Consent to be recorded, signed for each project in an agreement that sets how the recordings may be used.
  • 18 years or older.

Good to know

  • Not every device or room passes the audio check.
  • Applying does not guarantee a project. You are invited when one needs your language.

Our team reviews applications for this role and contacts selected applicants by email.
