[Hiring] Voice Actor/Coach @24-MAG

Role Description

We are sharing a specialised remote consulting opportunity for experienced Voice Actors, Voice Coaches, and Vocal Professionals with strong expertise in speech analysis, vocal performance, phonetics, prosody, accent identification, and audio quality evaluation to contribute their professional knowledge to advanced AI voice and speech technology initiatives.

Selected professionals will analyse speech recordings, assess vocal characteristics, and produce detailed technical evaluations that support the training and assessment of advanced AI voice systems. The work combines practical voice expertise with structured listening, phonetic analysis, vocal quality assessment, and audio production evaluation to improve how AI models interpret speech, vocal expression, and acoustic characteristics. Prior experience with AI training projects is not required.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assess relevant vocal characteristics using precise professional terminology.
  • Produce structured observations that accurately represent the audible features of each recording.
• Prosody, Phonetics & Accent Evaluation
  • Analyse speech prosody, including intonation patterns, stress, rhythm, and pitch variation.
  • Evaluate phonetic characteristics and speech production techniques.
  • Identify accent or dialect features when sufficiently clear from the recording.

  • Apply practical voice acting or coaching expertise to interpret vocal technique and delivery.
• Audio Quality & Recording Environment Evaluation
  • Assess the technical quality of speech recordings and their acoustic characteristics.
  • Identify audible differences associated with microphones, headsets, smartphones, and other recording devices.
  • Evaluate room acoustics, background sound, and recording environment characteristics.
  • Distinguish relevant differences between studio-quality and home-recorded audio.
  • Document audio production observations that may influence speech analysis and AI evaluation.
• Technical Documentation & AI Evaluation Feedback
  • Prepare clear written reports describing vocal, phonetic, and acoustic observations.
  • Apply consistent evaluation terminology and structured reporting guidelines across assigned tasks.
  • Provide detailed expert feedback to support improvements in AI voice and speech systems.
