Listing checked October 6, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
micro1 seeks Voice Actor/Coaches to support an AI voice and speech technology project. You will listen to short recordings and write structured assessments using professional voice terms. The work covers vocal traits, emotional tone, and audio production details. No AI background is needed. Your voice expertise is the core requirement.
What You'll Do7
- 1Review short speech samples and write detailed, structured evaluations with correct voice terminology.
- 2Describe vocal features such as age, gender, accent or dialect when clear, vocal quality, resonance, phonation type, pitch, intonation, breath support, rhythm, and tempo.
- 3Judge emotional tone, energy, articulation clarity, and delivery style, noting differences between scripted, spontaneous, or conversational clips.
- 4Check audio production elements like room sound, device type (microphone, headset, phone), and recording environment quality (studio or home).
- 5Produce clear written reports with consistent technical language to support AI model training and evaluation.
- 6Work asynchronously through digital platforms, giving objective, high-quality input to improve voice and speech systems.
- 7Keep all analyses and documentation confidential and accurate.
Requirements7
- 1Professional background in voice acting, voice coaching, dialect coaching, vocal pedagogy, or a related field.
- 2Solid grasp of speech analysis, prosody, intonation, phonetics, accent and dialect variation, and vocal quality assessment.
- 3Experience with audio or sound engineering, particularly in evaluating recording quality and acoustic environments.
- 4Familiarity with technical vocal concepts such as resonance, placement, and breath control.
- 5Strong written and verbal communication skills with close attention to detail.
- 6English fluency at B2 level or higher; native proficiency in any language is a plus.
- 7Reliable internet connection and high-quality headphones for accurate audio assessment.
Who Should Apply
This role fits voice professionals who can break down speech into precise technical parts and write about them clearly. If you have coached actors, taught vocal pedagogy, or worked in dialect coaching, your background matches the core tasks. Audio engineers who assess recording quality will also find the work relevant. The role is less suitable for people without formal voice or speech training, or those who dislike detailed written analysis. Candidates often get rejected when they describe vocal traits in vague terms instead of using standard terminology, or when they skip audio production details like device type and room sound.
