Opportunity Snapshot

Project kickoff: Monday, October 19th

You’ll need: A quiet room with no background noise, a reliable internet connection, and a smartphone or computer that can record clear audio

Your tasks: Read provided English text aloud, record it following detailed guidelines, and submit clean audio files

micro1 is engaging native and near-native English speakers for a read-aloud speech recording project. The work is straightforward: you’ll be given English text, you read it aloud following clear guidelines, and you submit the recording. Your voice helps train next-generation AI speech systems. No prior AI experience is required — clear speech and careful attention to instructions are what matter.

Scope of Work

Read provided English prompts aloud, accurately and naturally, following the pronunciation and pacing guidelines.
Follow the instructions for each prompt exactly — including reading answer choices when the task asks for it — without adding your own responses or interpretations.
Record and submit clear audio files using the tools or platform provided.
Keep your delivery consistent across sessions: same clarity, same enunciation, same pace.
Re-record and resubmit when a take doesn’t meet the quality standard.
Flag prompts that are unclear, ambiguous, or have technical problems instead of guessing how to read them.
Stay in touch with project coordinators to align on quality expectations.

Preferred Qualifications

Native or near-native English speaker, with clear and natural spoken delivery.
Able to read written text aloud smoothly, without stumbling or flattening it into a monotone.
Strong attention to detail and the discipline to follow instructions exactly, every time.
Access to a consistently quiet space for recording.
Reliable internet connection.
Comfortable working independently and submitting on schedule.
Experience with voice work, audiobook narration, voiceover, or audio recording tools is a plus, but not required.
