Overview
Outlier builds training data for AI companies that want machines to grasp how people talk, including tone, emotion, and intent. On this freelance project you record short Simplified Chinese audio clips and read brief scripts across a range of moods and speaking styles. A quiet room, a working microphone, and a stable internet connection cover the setup. Some tasks ask you to listen to clips and capture the details in text, and that output helps speech and expression models read human voice with more accuracy.
What You'll Do6
- Record short audio clips in Simplified Chinese that carry clear tone and real emotion.
- Perform brief scripts in varied moods, speaking styles, and emotional registers.
- Listen to audio samples and write down the details you hear.
- Review clips for accuracy and flag anything that sounds off.
- Help tune speech systems so they pick up on tone, intent, and expression.
- Follow project guidelines for recording quality and delivery.
Requirements5
- Native command of Simplified Chinese.
- A voice that stays clear and carries emotional range.
- Quiet, distraction-free space for recording.
- Dependable internet access.
- Residence outside the restricted countries and regions the project lists.
Preferred Qualifications5
- Theater, improv, or acting background
- Voiceover or vocal performance experience
- Classical vocal training or public speaking practice
- Professional microphone or home studio setup
- Earlier work recording audio content
Who Should Apply
Native Simplified Chinese speakers who enjoy using their voice will fit here. Actors, podcasters, call center staff, and presenters bring relevant background, and outgoing speakers without formal performance training are welcome too. You need a quiet recording space and steady internet.
