Who Should Apply
Ideal candidates are native Portuguese speakers who grew up in Brazil or Portugal and can hear the difference between regional accents, pronunciation patterns, and natural phrasing. The role fits someone with a sharp ear for audio detail, comfort recording their own voice, and patience for guideline-heavy review tasks. People who only studied Portuguese as a second language, or who cannot distinguish Brazilian from European Portuguese nuance, tend to struggle here. A common reason candidates score low is failing to explain why a recording misses the mark, such as unclear pronunciation or mismatched text. Another is not following the project's detailed evaluation criteria when providing feedback.
