VO Talent- UK English (Wales)

Record authentic conversational speech

You'll contribute natural Welsh English recordings to an AI speech research project. The focus is the rhythm, nuance and delivery of real conversation, helping researchers improve how AI understands the way people actually speak.

• Record in a professional studio, using your authentic accent rather than an exaggerated imitation.
• Perform individual speech recordings and two-person dialogue sessions.
• Deliver conversation that feels spontaneous and human, rather than a formal narrated read.
• Respond to light direction by adjusting tone, pacing and delivery for different scenarios.

Voice experience

You should be a professional voice actor or voice-over artist with relevant recording experience and native or near-native command of Welsh English. Candidates must currently be based in Wales and able to attend studio sessions in person.

Comfort with conversational performance is essential, along with reliability, professionalism and a receptive approach to direction. Working English is also needed for communication and session coordination.

Helpful additional experience includes acting or other performance work, broadcast experience, podcast production, professional studio recording, improvised or naturalistic dialogue. These are advantages alongside the core voice and accent requirements.

Sessions and contract

The paid contract involves two to three sessions lasting four hours each. Recordings take place in a professional studio assigned locally, giving the engagement a defined, limited time commitment.

The project excludes voice cloning; recordings support research into natural human speech. Further sessions or related project work may become available as the research expands.
