Follow direction and retake as needed for timing, emphasis, and clarity.
Submit clean, well-labeled audio files on schedule.

What you’ll need

Native-level fluency in your language and strong, easy-to-understand speech.
Silent recording environment (no background noise, echo, or hum).
Crisp audio: a good microphone is a big plus (USB/XLR), stable setup, pop filter if possible.
Ability to follow briefs and take notes on pronunciation or style.

Nice-to-haves

Prior VO/voice acting, podcasting, or on-mic experience.
Basic audio hygiene (steady levels, consistent mic distance). No heavy editing required—just clean, raw takes
