What the work involves

You record French voice-over to spec: scripted lines, character reads, emotional variations, and sometimes the same line delivered several ways so a model has contrast to learn from. Briefs arrive with a target register — warm and conversational, clipped and neutral, agitated, whispered — and your job is to hit it consistently across a batch, not just once. Expect pacing marks, pronunciation notes for proper nouns and loanwords, and revision requests that ask for a second take rather than a repair edit. Deliverables are audio files in a named format at a named sample rate, delivered on the stated date.

Because this is data for AI systems rather than a finished production, consistency and compliance matter as much as artistry. A take that sounds beautiful but drifts in mic distance, picks up room tone halfway through, or clips on plosives is a take that gets rejected. Files that ignore the naming convention create downstream work for someone else and get flagged.

What the platform screens for

  • Demonstrable prior voice work. Turing shortlists on professional history first; a reel that shows range across registers, not just one signature read, does more than a long résumé.
  • Room and chain quality. Treated space, low noise floor, a mic and interface you can name. Remote candidates who record into a laptop mic do not pass delivery review.
  • Direction-taking. The delivery review is effectively the interview: you receive a brief, record, and are judged on whether the result matches what was asked, and on how you respond when asked to change it.
  • French specifics. Native or near-native command, and clarity about which variety you deliver — Hexagonal French, Québécois, Belgian, West African — and whether you can neutralise.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous, with in-studio sessions possible in some markets. This is a flexible freelance agreement, not employment; volume comes in project batches and can be uneven, with extensions tied to performance. Pay is undisclosed on the listing — clarify rate structure (per finished minute, per hour, per file) and whether revisions are billable before you accept a batch. Turnaround windows are typically short, so the practical requirement is that you can get into your booth within a day or two of a brief landing.
