About Turing:
Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.
Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies.
Role Overview:
We are looking for experienced voice actors, narrators, podcasters, broadcasters, commentators, and long-form audio performers for an AI text-to-speech voice capture project. Selected contributors will record high-quality spoken audio that may be used to train, evaluate, and improve synthetic speech and text-to-speech systems. The ideal candidate has strong vocal control, proven recording experience, and the ability to maintain a consistent accent, tone, pace, and persona across scripted voice recordings. Candidates must have access to either a professional recording studio or a high-quality home-studio setup that can pass technical checks.
Requirements:
- Record scripted voice samples using an assigned voice persona.
- Maintain consistent vocal tone, accent, pacing, pronunciation, and delivery.
- Submit clean, dry, unprocessed audio suitable for technical review.
- Follow recording, file naming, and submission instructions accurately.
- Complete a short vetting test before acceptance.
- Participate in re-records or corrections if technical or performance issues are identified.
- Be available for additional recording work if shortlisted for production capture.
Candidates must have access to either a professional recording studio or a validated home-studio setup. At minimum, candidates should have:
- A quiet, controlled recording environment with no audible background noise.
- No fan noise, AC hum, traffic, appliance noise, echo, pets, or household interruptions during recording.
- A professional-quality microphone suitable for voice capture.
- A clean recording chain, including an audio interface or equivalent setup.
- A pop filter or windscreen.
- Closed-back headphones for monitoring.
- Ability to record and submit WAV audio.
- Ability to maintain consistent mic distance, gain levels, and room tone.
- Ability to submit raw, dry, unprocessed audio with no baked-in noise reduction, compression, EQ, reverb, limiter, or AI voice enhancement unless specifically approved.
- Stable internet access for instructions, uploads, and possible remote direction.
Candidates may be asked to submit a short technical sample or room-tone check as part of the vetting process.
Consent and AI Voice Use
- This project involves voice data collection for synthetic speech and text-to-speech model development. The recorded audio may be used to train, test, evaluate, and improve AI speech systems. The resulting synthetic voice output may sound like the contributor’s voice.
- Participation is voluntary. A detailed consent and release form will be shared during onboarding before any production recording begins. Candidates should proceed only if they are comfortable reviewing and signing consent terms related to AI voice data collection, synthetic voice generation, and possible digital replica use.
- All contributors must be 18 years of age or older.
Perks of Freelancing With Turing:
- Work in a fully remote environment.
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
- Potential for contract extension based on performance and project needs.
Evaluation Process
- Shortlisting based on qualifications and relevant professional experience.
- Shortlisted candidates will undergo a delivery review, after which they will be ready to start!
