- Native-level fluency in Scots (Mid/Central Scots).
- Authentic pronunciation and strong familiarity with the target dialect or accent through everyday use.
- Advanced level of English to understand written instructions.
- Ability to complete a trial voice recording to verify language variant and accent.
- Contributors must not imitate dialects or accents that are not their own.
- Experience with speech recording projects is an advantage, but not required.
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail.
- Ability to follow detailed instructions and maintain recording accuracy.
Technical Requirements
- Quiet room or recording space with minimal background noise.
