About the Work
Babel Audio is seeking professional Bengali-speaking (Bangladesh / Dhaka Bengali) voice actors for a single performance-based project. Your voice acting will be used to train AI systems capable of better understanding and expressing human emotions. This is character-driven, interpretive voice acting work, where genuine skill and emotional expressiveness are critically important. Thus, the structure of this project has been designed accordingly.
You will receive a script and scene synopsis, study the emotional context, and deliver a performance faithful to the character and moment. The scenes are specific and emotionally rich. For example, you may be asked to portray:
A bride bidding farewell to her family on her wedding day, overwhelmed with emotion
A father, overcome with emotion, holding his newborn child for the first time
A shepherd becoming alert to protect his flock upon spotting a wolf in the distance
A doctor, heavy-hearted, delivering news of a patient’s death to their family
A runner, filled with emotion as they approach the finish line after years of training
Each recording is under one minute. You choose which script to take, and you work entirely on your own schedule.
