Job Description
Welo Global is hiring a Voice Contributor for Project Hydrus, an audio data collection initiative focusing on scripted and conversational speech. This contract role involves recording natural audio that may be utilized for building synthesized, AI-generated conversational voices.

Performers are expected to produce authentic, everyday speech without any polished or announcer-style delivery. Candidates must maintain their own quiet recording space and professional equipment.
Responsibilities
- Complete two supervised recording sessions of about four hours each on a separate platform
- Read scripted material in a natural and conversational tone rather than a commercial or announcer style
- Speak spontaneously on assigned topics while maintaining a warm and consistent pace
- Configure and operate personal recording equipment within a private workspace
- Perform all tasks entirely in British English without mixing in other languages or dialects
Requirements
- Native or native-equivalent fluency in British English
- Prior experience as an actor, voice actor, theater performer, or equivalent background
- Access to an acoustically treated, quiet recording space free of echo and background noise
- Own a professional-grade microphone such as a Blue Yeti or RODE NT-USB Mini for the audition
- Upgrade to a qualifying USB condenser or XLR microphone with an audio interface for sessions if selected
- Own closed-back monitoring headphones required for session recording
- Ability to self-direct during the audition and follow live direction from a Session Director
Qualifications
- Professional voice-over experience in podcasting, audiobooks, or dubbing and ADR
- Familiarity with conversational registers rather than commercial registers
- Basic audio hygiene skills including managing microphone distance and detecting distortion or clipping
- An existing home recording studio setup that is already sound-treated
