About Babel Audio

Babel Audio partners with leading technology companies to collect high-quality voice data that trains frontier AI models. We work with thousands of participants worldwide to capture authentic human conversation, so that AI can better understand and communicate with humanity.

About the Role

Babel Audio is looking for Turkish (Standard Turkish) speakers who can improvise a scene for a solo performance project. Your performances will be used to help AI systems better understand, express, and be trained on human emotion. This work requires expressing emotions naturally and convincingly in the moment, which takes real skill, so the opportunity has been designed to match that level.

This is an unscripted project. Instead, you'll receive a scenario and an emotion, and you'll need to step into the character and perform naturally, improvising on the spot. These scenes are emotionally charged and require you to fully immerse yourself in the character. You might play roles like:

• A bride, overcome with emotion, saying goodbye to her family on her wedding day
• A father overwhelmed with emotion as he holds his newborn baby for the first time
• A doctor with a heavy heart informing family members of a patient's death
• A runner overcome with emotion as they near the finish line after years of hard training

Each recording is under one minute. You can choose the scenarios you like and work at a time that suits you.

Who Can Apply?

• Those who speak Standard Turkish naturally at a native level
• No voice-acting experience is required. We're looking for people who can think on their feet and bring a scene to life without a script
• Those who can convincingly express a range of emotions, from joy and relief to grief and fear, in the moment
• Those who can quickly understand a scenario and perform independently with minimal guidance
• Those who own a professional-quality external microphone (see Technical Requirements below)

Compensation

• $60-$150 USD per recorded hour, depending on your country
• Additional performance-based incentives may be available

Technical Requirements

• Clear and consistent voice quality
• External microphone: USB preferred (or XLR; but no built-in, wireless/HF, or Bluetooth microphones)
• Recording setup: Computer required (no mobile devices or smartphones)
• Environment: Quiet, no background noise, acoustically treated, or soundproof space (no noticeable echo)
• Internet connection: Stable connection for high-quality recording
• Pop filter or foam windscreen: Strongly recommended
