Prepare your resume, explore your fit, and draft a cover letter for this opportunity. Opportunity details ## About this role. About the Project Project Hydrus is a scripted and conversational audio data collection project. The recordings produced help build natural, everyday-sounding synthesized voices for conversational AI products — voices that sound like real people talking, not scripted performances. As Session Director, you’ll lead live recording sessions with Voice Contributors, guiding them through scripted scenarios to produce natural, conversational-quality audio. This hands-on role blends creative direction, coaching, and technical audio judgment — making scripted material sound authentic and unscripted, rather than recited, while keeping sessions moving at a natural pace. What You’ll Do – Direct voice performers through scripted scenarios, coaching for natural, conversational delivery rather than verbatim recitation. – Build quick scene context for performers (who, where, why) and improvise to fill narrative or dialogue gaps live, keeping sessions flowing naturally. – Adapt scripted wording for natural phrasing and regional/dialect authenticity as needed. – Monitor and correct technical audio quality in real time: mic technique, pacing, clarity, and background noise. – Manage session pacing to meet recording targets without sacrificing performance quality, and maintain organized notes on adjustments and retakes. – Create a supportive, low-pressure environment for performers, including those with limited prior voice experience. What We’re Looking For Required – Native fluency in the required language (with specific dialect), with a strong ear for natural, colloquial phrasing. – Experience directing, coaching, or producing voice or audio talent (e.g., voice direction, casting direction, audio/podcast production, dubbing/ADR, or theater direction). – Demonstrated ability to give clear, specific, actionable performance direction. – Strong working knowledge of basic recording/mic technique (proximity, plosives, room noise, levels). – Comfortable improvising and adjusting scripted material on the spot. – Excellent interpersonal skills; able to build rapport quickly with performers of varying experience levels. Preferred (nice to have, not required) – Background in improv, theater direction, or acting coaching. – Experience directing non-professional or first-time voice talent specifically. – Familiarity with DAWs or recording software (e.g., Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, Reaper) for spot-checking audio quality. Commitment & Compensation – Estimated time: Approximately 8 hours calibration, plus supervision across two recording sessions of ~4 hours each per participant – Work Type – Freelance Remote ### Compensation ### Additional Information Why Join Welo Data? ✨ Limitless Flexibility  Project-based opportunities that fit your availability.

I would offer a dialect-appropriate alternative phrasing where permitted and record a short retake after focused feedback on emphasis, pauses, and pacing. What technical issues do you monitor during a live remote voice-recording session? I monitor microphone distance, plosives, clipping, gain consistency, room noise, mouth sounds, and speech clarity. When an issue appears, I give a simple corrective instruction, confirm the change with a brief test, and document any retakes needed. How do you maintain pace when a participant has little prior voice-recording experience? I create a low-pressure environment, explain one objective at a time, and use short actionable feedback rather than broad criticism. I balance speed with quality by prioritizing the most important corrections and moving forward once the delivery meets the project standard. Describe how you would handle a script that sounds unnatural in Swiss German. I would identify whether the issue is vocabulary, word order, formality, or conversational rhythm. Within project guidelines, I would propose a natural Swiss German adaptation that preserves the intended meaning, explain it clearly to the contributor, and note the adjustment for consistency. How would you respond if background noise interrupts an otherwise strong take? I would pause the session, identify the likely noise source, and suggest a practical fix such as closing a window, changing room position, or waiting briefly. Once the environment is suitable, I would re-record the affected segment and verify that the replacement take is clean. Next step ## Apply now.
