Job description

Spanish (Argentina) Recording Director

• Location: Remote (Argentina)
• Experience: 1 year of exp
• Type: Contract

About the job

Project Details:

• Job Title: Hydrus - Session Director - Spanish (Argentina) - V2
• Project Overview: scripted and conversational audio data collection
• Purpose: help build natural, everyday-sounding synthesized voices for conversational AI products — voices that sound like real people talking, not scripted performances.
• Estimated time: Approximately 8 hours calibration, plus supervision across two recording sessions of ~4 hours each per participant
• Work Type: Freelance Remote
• Language: Spanish (Argentina)
• Pay Rate: US$55 per hour

What You'll Do

• 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.

What We're Looking For

Required

• 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.

Preferred

• 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.
