About the Role
Babel Audio is seeking professional Japanese-speaking voice actors for a solo performance project. Your performances will be used to train AI systems to better understand and express human emotion. This is interpretive, character-driven work that requires genuine craft, and we have structured this engagement to reflect that. You will receive a script and scene brief, study the emotional context, and deliver a performance that is true to the character and moment. The scenes are specific and emotionally rich. You might perform as: - A bride, bidding farewell to her family at her wedding, overwhelmed with emotion - A father, holding his newborn child for the first time, overcome with feeling - A shepherd, spotting a wolf in the distance, becoming alert to protect his herd - A doctor, with a heavy heart, delivering the news of a patient's passing to their family - A runner, after years of training, nearing the finish line and filled with emotion Recordings are under one minute. You select which scripts to take on, and you work entirely on your own schedule.
Who You Are - Native-level fluency in Japanese - Professional background in voice acting, dubbing, narration, audiobook recording, or similar - Able to deliver expressive and engaging vocal performances across a variety of styles and emotions - Comfortable interpreting a scene brief and working independently with minimal direction
Compensation - $60-$150 USD / recorded hour, depending on your country - Additional performance-based incentives may be available
Technical Requirements - External microphone; pop filter or windscreen strongly recommended - Quiet, acoustically controlled recording environment - Stable internet connection capable of supporting smooth audio recordings --- Rate applies to recorded audio time for this specific project.
