[Hiring] French-English Audio Recording Participant @Productive Playhouse

Role Description

We are looking for bilingual speakers for a high-priority, fast-paced audio data collection project to help train AI systems to understand natural, real-world conversations where speakers switch between two languages (code-switching). The project replicates everyday customer support situations and conversations.

• Participate in recorded conversations using both French (France) and English while following project guidelines.
• Collaborate with another participant to perform customer support-style roleplay recordings.
• Follow recording instructions to ensure audio quality and proper channel separation.
• Deliver recordings that reflect natural speech patterns and realistic code-switching between languages.
• Complete assigned recordings and related project tasks within project deadlines.

Qualifications

• You must be a native speaker of French (spoken in France) and have at least intermediate fluency in English.
• Comfortable working with provided scripts and making minor conversational adjustments to improve naturalness.
• Previous experience with audio recording, voice data collection, podcasting, voice acting, or similar projects is preferred but not required.
• No professional studio, special equipment, or voice-acting experience is required! Standard mobile phone or laptop microphones are perfect.
• You will just need to follow a simple setup guide so your voices record onto separate left and right channels (Agent on the left, Customer on the right).
• Each pair of participants can record up to 1 hour of total audio (maximum 30 minutes of speaking time per individual).
• You will need to practice the script briefly beforehand so it sounds like a natural, everyday conversation rather than reading from a page.

Requirements

• Access to a quiet recording environment with minimal background noise.
• Access to a computer, laptop, or mobile device with a functioning microphone and internet connection.
• Must complete the task within the expected timeframe after onboarding.

Benefits

• Flexible schedule.
• Pay: $90 USD per hour (depending on experience and skills).
