As a Chinese Voice Coach, you'll evaluate Mandarin speech samples to help train next-generation AI systems. Your ear for pronunciation, intonation, and linguistic authenticity will directly shape how models understand and generate Chinese. This contract role is fully remote and flexible, letting you set your own hours. No AI experience is needed; your native-level Mandarin and attention to detail are what count.
What You'll Do7
- Listen to Mandarin audio clips and judge how natural and fluent the speaker or model sounds.
- Rate pronunciation, intonation, and overall linguistic authenticity using provided guidelines.
- Write clear, concise feedback in English that explains each assessment and highlights key linguistic factors.
- Give detailed reasons for your evaluations to keep results consistent and transparent.
- Work with project coordinators to resolve questions or unclear points in the language content.
- Share observations that help improve AI performance in Chinese language understanding and generation.
- Complete assigned audio reviews on time while maintaining high quality standards.
Requirements7
- Native or near-native command of Mandarin Chinese, both spoken and written.
- English proficiency at B2 level or higher, especially for written communication.
- Background in voice specialization, linguistics, phonetics, music or audio engineering, or a related field is preferred.
- Experience with audio analysis, transcription, or linguistic assessment is a strong plus.
- Keen attention to detail and the ability to describe subtle language differences.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with a focus on clarity and accuracy.
- Familiarity with media, communications, or teaching is an asset.
