Voice Performer - South African English

$70 - $130 per hour

Alignerr

Voice Performer - South African English

$70-130/hr remote freelance audio

What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands and communicates with millions of people around the world? We're looking for professional voice actors and voice-over artists with authentic South African English accents to participate in paid studio recording sessions for a leading AI speech research project.

This is a short-term contract role involving a small number of focused recording sessions. Your voice won't be cloned — you'll simply be helping AI systems learn to understand real, natural human speech.

Organization: Alignerr

Type: Contract

Sessions: 2–3 sessions of approximately 4 hours each

Format: In-person professional recording studio (locally assigned in South Africa)

What you'll do:

  • Record natural, conversational South African English speech in a professional studio environment
  • Participate in single-speaker sessions and dual-speaker dialogue recordings
  • Deliver realistic, human-sounding dialogue — think natural conversation, not scripted performance
  • Take light direction on tone, pacing, and delivery to capture a range of speech styles
  • Bring your authentic South African accent to every session

Who you are:

  • A professional voice actor or voice-over artist with real recording experience
  • Native or near-native South African English accent — authentic and natural
  • Fluent in English with strong spoken communication skills
  • Comfortable recording conversational and dialogue-based content
  • Reliable, professional, and receptive to direction
  • Currently based in South Africa

Nice to have:

  • Acting or performance background
  • Experience in broadcast, podcasting, or prior studio recording work
  • Comfort with improvised or naturalistic speech styles

Why join us:

  • Competitive hourly pay for professional studio work
  • Be part of cutting-edge AI research alongside leading technology teams
  • Short, well-defined commitment — a handful of focused sessions with no long-term obligation
  • Contribute to technology that helps AI better understand South African voices and speech patterns
  • Work that makes a real difference in how AI serves diverse global communities
