German Voice Actors Needed for Three Hour Recording Project

Contract

Description: We are hiring German voice actors to create recordings to help train internal Text-to-Speech (TTS) models. There will be NO public broadcast or paid usage, meaning no advertisements or online media. The recordings will be used for internal TTS research and development purposes. Non-broadcast, internal, in perpetuity. There will be NO public or paid usage, nor will your voice be used as any form of external facing TTS model.

Project Scope

Talents will be asked to read 2 types of scripts: Stories and Utterances.
Each utterance will have _1 and _2 variants, where it will be the same script with different voice direction. One talent must read both variants.
Stories will include performance cues for emotional expression and narrative tone. The talent must deliver a natural, expressive reading that follows the provided cues precisely.
Each story is approximately 5 minutes long.
Each utterance is approximately 5-15 seconds.
Talents must record 60% utterances and 40% stories to reach 3 hours.
