## Description

Project Hydrus is a scripted and conversational audio data collection project. We're looking for native-level speakers who can deliver natural, everyday-sounding speech , recordings that hold up whether you're reading a script or speaking spontaneously.

The recordings you produce may be used to create synthesized, AI-generated voices for conversational AI products. Full details on how your data is collected, used, shared, and retained are set out in a Consent Form, which you'll review and sign before any paid session recording begins.

**Responsibilities**

- Two supervised sessions of approximately 4 hours each, guided in real time by a Session Director on a separate recording platform.

- Record scripted material in a natural, conversational tone , faithfully, without a polished, performed, or “announcer” delivery.

- Record unscripted, spontaneous speech on a given topic, matching the same warmth and pace as your scripted takes.

- Set up and manage your own recording space and equipment for session recording.

- Deliver all recordings entirely in the required language (with specific dialect), without code-switching into other languages or dialects.

**Requirements**

- Experience as a voice actor, actor, or theater performer, or a comparable performance background.

- Native or native-equivalent fluency in the required language (with specific dialect).

- Access to a quiet recording space, free of echo and background noise (acoustically treated for session recording, if selected).

- Owns or will acquire a dedicated, professional-grade microphone for the audition (e.g. RODE NT-USB Mini, Blue Yeti), upgrading to a qualifying USB condenser or XLR mic + audio interface for session recording if selected.

- Owns closed-back monitoring headphones (required for session recording if selected).

- Comfortable both self-directing for the audition and taking live direction from a Session Director in guided sessions.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Professional voice-over experience (dubbing/ADR, audiobook, podcasting) in a conversational rather than commercial/announcer register.

- Baseline audio hygiene: comfortable setting mic distance and catching noise, clipping, or distortion yourself.

- An existing home recording setup already treated for sound.
