• Public speaking or presenting
• Any role where clear, expressive communication is important

Naturally outgoing and expressive speakers are encouraged to apply, even without formal performance experience.

Requirements

• Strong vocal clarity, expression, and emotional range
• Quiet, distraction-free recording environment
