About the Role
Babel Audio is seeking professional German-speaking voice actors/actresses (Germany) for a solo performance project. Your recordings will be used to train AI systems to better understand and authentically express human emotions.
This task requires you to bring your own personality and interpretation to the scenes. It therefore demands genuine, craft-level skill. Accordingly, we have structured this collaboration accordingly.
Based on the script and a scene briefing, you will immerse yourself in the emotional context and bring the character to life appropriately for the moment. The scenes are highly nuanced and emotionally profound. For example, you may step into the following roles:
A bride standing at the door, seconds before walking down the aisle
A father seeing his newborn child for the first time
A shepherd spotting a wolf in the distance and vigilantly watching over the flock
A doctor delivering news of a family member’s death to their family
A runner who has trained for years and now finally sees the finish line ahead
Each recording lasts less than one minute. You choose which scripts to perform and work entirely according to your own schedule.
What You Bring:
Native-level German language proficiency (Germany)
Professional background as a voice actor/actress, ideally in dubbing, narration, audiobooks, or advertising
Ability to convey emotions with pinpoint accuracy while delivering captivating performances
Confidence interpreting scene briefings and experience executing independently—even with minimal guidance
Compensation
150 USD per hour of finished recording
Opportunity for additional performance-based bonuses
