About the Role

We are looking for fluent English speakers across Southeast Asia to join a one-time voice recording project supporting the development of advanced AI language systems.

The goal of this project is to collect authentic spoken English from diverse speakers across the SEA region. You will respond naturally to conversation prompts on everyday topics such as opinions, experiences, work, lifestyle, and current issues. There are no scripts to memorise,  we want to capture how people genuinely communicate in English.

To help AI understand speech in real-world situations, recordings must be completed across different environments, including locations with background noise such as cafés, train stations, shopping malls, outdoor areas, and quiet indoor spaces. 

If you are comfortable speaking English, can follow recording guidelines, and are available to commit to this short-term project, we would like you to join us now!
