Overview
Outlier connects AI developers with native speakers who can teach machines how humans actually sound: tone, emotion, intent, and the small shifts that carry meaning. On this project you step in front of a microphone and deliver Italian audio that trains speech models to read expression the way a person does. Expect a mix of short recordings, scripted reads in varied tones, and listening back to clips while logging what you hear in text. Acting or voiceover credits help, yet the team welcomes naturally expressive speakers with no stage background. The setup matters as much as the voice: a quiet room and steady internet keep sessions usable.
What You'll Do7
- Record brief Italian audio clips that capture clear pronunciation and natural pacing.
- Perform short scripts while shifting emotion, tone, or speaking style as directed.
- Play back audio from other contributors and write down the details you notice.
- Turn what you hear into text notes that help speech models separate tone from words.
- Adjust delivery when a prompt calls for a different mood or character.
- Review your own recordings for clarity before submitting them.
- Work through assigned batches of audio and text tasks within the project timeline.
Requirements6
- Native-level fluency in Italian.
- A voice that carries clearly, with range across emotions and delivery styles.
- Comfort speaking into a microphone without a script coach present.
- A quiet room free of background noise for recording sessions.
- Dependable internet access for uploading and reviewing clips.
- Residence in an eligible posting country, with none of the restricted regions applying to you.
Preferred Qualifications4
- Theater, improv, acting, or voiceover background
- Classical vocal training or public speaking experience
- A professional microphone or a dedicated home recording setup
- Prior work recording audio content
Who Should Apply
Native Italian speakers who sound natural and expressive on mic, whether that comes from stage work, podcasting, call centers, or sales. A quiet recording space and reliable internet matter more than a performance resume. Outgoing voices with real emotional range fit this project best.
