Job summary

Welocalize is seeking an English (Australia) Recording Director for a remote freelance engagement in Australia. The project focuses on scripted and conversational audio data collection to build natural-sounding synthesized voices for conversational AI.

Qualifications

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

• Comfort improvising and adjusting scripted material on the spot.
• Excellent interpersonal skills; able to build rapport with performers of varying experience levels.

Responsibilities

• Direct voice performers through scripted scenarios and coach for natural delivery, not verbatim recitation.
