About the Project

Project Hydrus is a scripted and conversational audio data collection project. We're looking for native-level speakers who can deliver natural, everyday-sounding speech — recordings that hold up whether you're reading a script or speaking spontaneously.

Please note: the recordings you produce may be used to create synthesized, AI-generated voices for conversational AI products. Full details on how your data is collected, used, shared, and retained are set out in a Consent Form, which you'll review and sign before any paid session recording begins.

What You'll Do If Selected:

Two supervised sessions of approximately 4 hours each, guided in real time by a Session Director on a separate recording platform.

Record scripted material in a natural, conversational tone — faithfully, without a polished, performed, or “announcer” delivery.

Record unscripted, spontaneous speech on a given topic, matching the same warmth and pace as your scripted takes.

Set up and manage your own recording space and equipment for session recording.





Deliver all recordings entirely in the required language (with specific dialect), without code-switching into other languages or dialects.

Built-in laptop mics, AirPods, earbuds, and headsets are not accepted at any stage.

Owns closed-back monitoring headphones (required for session recording if selected).

Comfortable both self-directing for the audition and taki
