Listing checked August 25, 2026 · pay as published by Turing
Overview
A Japanese voice actor will record voice-overs for character-driven projects across multiple content domains, using tone, personality, and emotion to match each script. The actor works from a professional home studio or in-studio, interprets scripts under creative direction, and revises performances after feedback. Performers submit finished audio files on time in the correct format. This freelance agreement, offered through Turing, connects voice talent to AI projects with leading LLM companies and leaves room for contract extension based on performance.

Who Should Apply
Voice actors with prior voice acting experience, strong vocal control, and a demo reel that covers multiple styles will fit this role best. Performers who respond well to creative direction and can produce clean audio from a professional home studio will do well here. The role is less suitable for beginners without a professional home studio or for anyone seeking a fixed employment schedule, since this is a project-based agreement. Shortlisting favors relevant professional experience, so applications without prior voice acting work or a varied demo reel often get rejected. Low-quality audio samples and missed deadlines are the most common reasons candidates score low on fit.
