About the Role
What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands the way real people in Scotland speak? We're working with leading AI research teams to capture authentic Scottish speech — and we need professional voice performers to make it happen.
This is a paid contract role involving a small number of in-person studio recording sessions. You'll record natural, conversational Scottish English in a professional studio environment, helping AI systems become better at understanding genuine human speech.
This project is AI-related but does not involve voice cloning.
