## Description

Project Hydrus is a scripted and conversational audio data collection project. The recordings produced help build natural, everyday-sounding synthesized voices for conversational AI products.

As Session Director, you'll lead live recording sessions with Voice Contributors, guiding them through scripted scenarios to produce natural, conversational-quality audio.

Responsibilities:

- Direct voice performers through scripted scenarios, coaching for natural, conversational delivery rather than verbatim recitation.

- Build quick scene context for performers and improvise to fill narrative or dialogue gaps live, keeping sessions flowing naturally.

- Adapt scripted wording for natural phrasing and regional/dialect authenticity as needed.

- Monitor and correct technical audio quality in real time.

- Manage session pacing to meet recording targets without sacrificing performance quality.

- Create a supportive, low-pressure environment for performers.

Requirements:

- Native fluency in Spanish with a strong ear for natural, colloquial phrasing.

- Experience directing, coaching, or producing voice or audio talent.

- Demonstrated ability to give clear, specific, actionable performance direction.

- Strong working knowledge of basic recording/mic technique.

- Comfortable improvising and adjusting scripted material on the spot.

- Excellent interpersonal skills.

Preferred:

- Background in improv, theater direction, or acting coaching.

- Experience directing non-professional or first-time voice talent specifically.

- Familiarity with DAWs or recording software.

Commitment & Compensation:

- Estimated time: Approximately 8 hours calibration, plus supervision across two recording sessions.

- Freelance Remote.

- Rate: $55.00 USD per hour.
