Requirements
What You'll Do
- Attend a scheduled in-studio recording session (billed at ~2 hours of processed audio; plan for a longer studio slot to allow for test recordings and retakes)
- Record a variety of scripted content — everyday conversational scripts, industry/professional-context scripts, and customer-support-style scripts involving numbers, codes, and dates
- Deliver takes across specified emotional tones (cheerful, low, flat, excited) as directed
- Take live direction from the recording engineer on pacing, pronunciation, mic technique, and retakes
- Maintain consistent voice quality, energy, and studio discipline through the full session
Who We're Looking For
- 1–2+ years of professional experience in voice-over, dubbing, radio jockeying, audiobook narration, or comparable voice work
- A demo reel, voice sample, or portfolio that demonstrates range, clarity, and control
- Native or near-native in Urdu fluency with clear, broadly neutral pronunciation
- Proven ability to sustain vocal quality and focus across a 2+ hour recording session
- Comfortable taking direction and shifting delivery across multiple emotional registers on cue
- Prior studio/professional recording experience — comfortable with mic distance, positioning, and repeated retakes without fatigue affecting quality
- Reliable and punctual, able to commit to a scheduled in-studio slot in Bengaluru
- Willing to sign a confidentiality/NDA agreement, as this project involves proprietary AI training data
Nice to Have
- Experience recording alphanumeric or technical scripts (IVR, e-learning, customer support VO)
- Comfort with multiple dialects or accent ranges within Urdu
- Own basic recording setup (useful if a remote audition sample is requested before the studio session)
Engagement & Compensation
- Freelance, per-project engagement — one studio recording session
- Fixed one-time payment of up to 8,000, processed ~30 days after recording approval₹
- No ongoing commitment beyond the single session unless mutually agreed
How to Apply
- Submit your resume along with a demo reel, voice sample, or links to previous voice work.
