Overview
This remote, part-time gig puts your voice at the heart of next-generation speech AI. You'll record clean, expressive audio in Australian English to help train and evaluate a leading research lab's text-to-speech models.

Before applying, record a 30-second sample in the same room and with the same mic you'll use for the job — speak conversationally, keep a steady distance from the mic, and leave a couple of seconds of quiet before and after your take to show you understand clean audio capture.
