We're looking for professional voice actors and voice-over artists based in Scotland to take part in paid in-studio recording sessions for a leading AI speech research project.

This is not voice cloning. This is about capturing the real, natural richness of Scottish speech to help AI systems better understand how people actually talk.

  • Bring your authentic Scottish accent to every session — that's exactly what we need
