Telugu Voice Acting Specialist - Freelance AI Trainer Project

Target Profile:

Near-Native Proficiency in Telugu

Project Overview:

We're engaging experts in Telugu to record short scripted reads. Think light voice acting/voiceover: clean diction, natural delivery, and consistent quality. Looking for expressive and conversational! If you’ve got a quiet space and a decent mic, we want to hear you.

Must speak 2 languages well (preferably non-English).

Must be native fluency in the listed language then either 1 - equal proficiency in the other, 2 - near native in the other or 3 - working proficiency in the other

What you’ll do

• Record short lines and paragraphs in your dominant language (various tones: friendly, neutral, authoritative).
• Participate in paired or group script readings with other Telugu-speakers, typically short scripts of around 5 minutes.
• Follow direction and retake as needed for timing, emphasis, and clarity.
• Submit clean, well-labeled audio files on schedule.

What you’ll need

• Native-level fluency in your language and strong, easy-to-understand speech.
• Silent recording environment (no background noise, echo, or hum).
• Crisp audio: a good microphone is a big plus (USB/XLR), stable setup, pop filter if possible.
• Ability to follow briefs and take notes on pronunciation or style.

Nice-to-haves

• Prior VO/voice acting, podcasting, or on-mic experience.
• Basic audio hygiene (steady levels, consistent mic distance). No heavy editing required—just clean, raw takes

We offer a pay range of $8 to $65 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer, high-quality microphone and recording setup, and stable internet connection; company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.
