About the Role
What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands the way real people in Wales speak? We're looking for professional voice actors and voice-over artists with authentic Welsh accents to take part in paid studio recording sessions for a leading AI speech research project.
This is a rare, well-compensated contract opportunity for voice talent based in Wales. Sessions are limited — and your contribution will have a lasting impact on how AI systems understand natural human speech.
- Organisation: Alignerr
- Type: Contract
- Session Format: In-person professional recording studio (locally assigned in Wales)
- Session Length: 4 hours per session | 2–3 sessions total
Note: This project is AI-related but does not involve voice cloning.
What You'll Do
- Record natural, conversational Welsh-accented English speech in a professional studio environment
- Participate in single-speaker sessions and dual-speaker dialogue recordings
- Deliver realistic, human-sounding speech that feels unscripted and authentic
- Follow light direction to vary tone, pacing, and delivery across sessions
- Bring your genuine Welsh accent to recordings that help AI better understand real regional speech
