  • Work type: Remote, part-time contractor
  • Experience level: Entry level
  • Subject matter: AI voice systems and speech recognition

What You’ll Do

You will complete guided recording sessions and deliver clean, unprocessed audio. Recordings should meet the project’s technical thresholds on the first pass whenever possible, with minimal retakes.

  • Record scripted Dutch dialogue as a solo speaker
  • Maintain a consistent tone, pace, microphone position, and recording technique
  • Deliver clean, production-ready raw audio without post-processing

Requirements and Recording Setup

Applicants must speak Dutch at a native level, communicate fluently in English, and have access to a professional or high-quality prosumer recording setup. Equivalent equipment is acceptable when it meets the project’s audio standards.

Your recording space should be quiet and controlled, with basic acoustic treatment such as curtains, foam, or carpet. Audio must not contain audible echo, reverberation, or background noise, and recordings must be submitted without noise reduction, compression, or other post-processing.

  • Fluent English proficiency
  • USB condenser microphone, such as a Rode NT-USB Mini or Rode NT1 5th Gen

  • Crest Factor of at least 10 dB, with 13 dB or higher preferred
  • A-weighted signal-to-noise ratio of at least 55 dB
  • Integrated loudness of at least -36 LUFS

Who Should Apply

This opportunity may suit Dutch-speaking voice actors, narrators, broadcasters, or careful communicators who already have access to a reliable home recording setup. Prior AI training experience is not listed as required, but you should be comfortable following precise instructions and maintaining consistent vocal performance.

The supplied role details include conflicting availability information: one requirement states availability of 20 hours or more per week, while another lists less than 20 hours per week. Confirm the current scheduling expectation before accepting work.
