We are looking for fluent Odia speakers to join a remote, one-time voice recording project that helps build next-generation AI models.

About the Project

We are looking for fluent Odia speakers to participate in a conversational voice recording project aimed at training and improving AI speech and conversational models.

Participants will have natural, unscripted conversations with an AI-powered conversational bot across topics such as Travel, Finance, Retail, Healthcare, Telecom, Education, and more.

This is not a script-reading project. We are looking for participants who can speak naturally, confidently, and spontaneously while providing detailed responses.

Selection Process

• Audition: Submit a 2-minute voice recording in a quiet environment.
• Screening: Submitted samples will be reviewed based on language fluency, pronunciation, voice quality, and conversational ability.
• Shortlisting: Selected candidates will be invited to participate in the final recording.
• NDA: Selected candidates must sign an NDA before the final recording session.

Compensations:

Rs. 500/Hr | Max Rs. 1000 for 2 hours of recording

What You'll Do:

• Record a 2-minute audition sample as part of the selection process.
• If selected, complete 2 hours of conversational voice recording from home.
• Interact naturally with an AI bot that will guide the conversation through different topics.
• Speak for approximately 70% of the overall conversation, providing detailed, spontaneous, and relevant responses.
• Participate in multiple short recording sessions, typically around 10 minutes per topic.

Follow the provided guidelines on:

• Natural speaking style
• Pronunciation and clarity
• Conversational flow
• Appropriate response length and detail
• Re-record sections if required based on quality or technical checks.

Candidate Requirements

• Fluent in Odia; native or near-native proficiency preferred.
• Strong ability to speak naturally, clearly, and confidently in the target language.
• Comfortable engaging in conversations on a variety of everyday and professional topics.
• Able to provide detailed responses without relying on a script.
• Prior experience in voice recording, voice-over, speech data collection, or similar projects is preferred but not mandatory.
• Access to a quiet and controlled recording environment at home.
• Stable and reliable internet connection.
• Access to a good-quality microphone or earphones/headset with a microphone.
• Ability to follow recording instructions and complete the assigned sessions within the specified timeline.

Important

This is a conversational speech collection project, not a read-aloud or scripted recording task. Candidates should be comfortable speaking spontaneously and maintaining a natural conversation with an AI bot.
