Jobbeschreibung

• Direct voice performers through scripted scenarios, coaching for natural, conversational delivery rather than verbatim recitation.

• Build quick scene context for performers (who, where, why) and improvise to fill narrative or dialogue gaps live, keeping sessions flowing naturally.

• Adapt scripted wording for natural phrasing and regional/dialect authenticity as needed.

• Monitor and correct technical audio quality in real time: mic technique, pacing, clarity, and background noise.

• Manage session pacing to meet recording targets without sacrificing performance quality, and maintain organized notes on adjustments and retakes.

• Create a supportive, low‑pressure environment for performers, including those with limited prior voice experience.

• Native fluency in the required language (with specific dialect), with a strong ear for natural, colloquial phrasing.

• Experience directing, coaching, or producing voice or audio talent (e.g., voice direction, casting direction, audio/podcast production, dubbing/ADR, or theater direction).

• Demonstrated ability to give clear, specific, actionable performance direction.

• Strong working knowledge of basic recording/mic technique (proximity, plosives, room noise, levels).

• Comfortable improvising and adjusting scripted material on the spot.

• Excellent interpersonal skills; able to build rapport quickly with performers of varying experience levels.

• Background in improv, theater direction, or acting coaching.

• Experience directing non‑professional or first‑time voice talent specifically.

• Familiarity with DAWs or recording software (e.g., Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, Reaper) for spot‑checking audio quality.
