About the Role
What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands real human speech? We're looking for professional voice actors and voice-over artists with an authentic Welsh accent to take part in paid studio recording sessions for a leading AI speech research project.
This is a contract role involving a small number of focused recording sessions. Your voice will help AI systems better understand natural, conversational English as it's genuinely spoken in Wales — making technology more accurate and inclusive for Welsh speakers everywhere.
This project does not involve voice cloning.
