What the work involves

You record German-language voice-over against supplied scripts — dialogue, narration, character lines, emotional and prosodic variation — and deliver the files in a specified format, sample rate and naming convention. Much of this material feeds speech synthesis, dubbing and multimodal model training, which means consistency matters as much as performance: the same speaker identity, mic position and room tone across a batch, with takes that hold pacing and energy from file 1 to file 200. Alongside recording, you may be asked to annotate or verify audio — marking emotion labels, flagging mispronunciations, checking that a delivery matches the prompt's stated intent.

Expect direction and revision cycles. A reviewer may ask for the same line warmer, faster, less breathy, or with regional accent flattened toward standard German. Turnaround on revisions is usually short, and the ability to re-create a prior session's acoustic conditions is a practical requirement, not a nicety.

What the screen looks for

  • Verifiable voice work: credits, reels, dubbing or ADR history, named clients or studios. Turing shortlists on relevant professional experience first.
  • Native-level German with control over register and, where asked, neutral or specific regional delivery.
  • A real recording setup: a treated or acoustically quiet space, a condenser or broadcast-grade microphone, an interface, and the ability to deliver clean WAV at requested specifications with no noise floor, clipping, plosives or room slap.
  • Direction-taking: shortlisted candidates go through a delivery review — a paid or unpaid sample recording judged on both performance and file hygiene.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous, structured as a flexible freelance agreement rather than employment. Volume comes in batches and can be uneven; hours are self-scheduled around the delivery deadline. Pay is undisclosed on this listing — voice work on AI data platforms is typically priced per recorded minute, per script or per session, so clarify the unit and the revision policy before accepting a batch. Contract extension depends on performance and ongoing project need.
