Voice Narrator - Fully Remote

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research lab to build next-generation text-to-speech (TTS) systems capable of producing natural, expressive, and human-like voices. We are seeking  native or native-level French speakers with a standard, neutral, accent-free French delivery  to contribute high-quality voice recordings for training and evaluating cutting-edge speech models. This role is open to both experienced voice professionals and newcomers with a naturally clear, expressive voice and a good recording setup — prior voice-acting experience is a plus but not required.
This is an ongoing opening — we onboard new voices on a rolling basis, so applications are always welcome. The engagement itself is a single recording session of approximately 4 hours. A second session of similar length may follow depending on the client's needs, though this isn t guaranteed.
Your voice recordings will be used exclusively for the client s internal CX AI Agent. They will not be sold, licensed, or reused for any other product, dataset, or purpose.

Key Responsibilities     Record high-quality voice samples across diverse scripts (conversational, narrative, instructional, etc.)

Deliver  clear, natural, and expressive speech  with strong control over tone, pacing, and pronunciation

Maintain  consistency in voice, accent, and delivery  across recording sessions

Follow detailed recording guidelines (environment, microphone setup, file formatting)

Perform multiple takes with variation in emotion, emphasis, and style when required

Requirements      Native or native-level French speaker with a standard, neutral French accent (accent-free)  — no strong regional accent and no foreign-language influence

Location does not matter  — we welcome qualified speakers from anywhere, as long as the delivery is neutral, standard French

A clear, natural, and expressive voice (prior voice acting, narration, or broadcast experience is a plus, not required)

Access to a  professional or near-professional recording setup  (quality microphone, quiet environment, pop filter, etc.)

Strong command of  intonation, diction, and emotional range

Ability to follow scripts precisely while maintaining natural delivery

Availability for  a single ~4-hour recording session , with the possibility of a further session of similar length later on

[IMP]:
Your voice may be cloned for the client s CX AI Agent so please only apply if you are okay with voice cloning. Your recordings will not be sold or reused outside of this specific use case.

Preferred Qualifications     Experience recording for  TTS, audio books, IVR systems, or AI voice datasets

Familiarity with audio editing tools (e.g., Audacity, Adobe Audition, Reaper)

Ability to deliver  multiple vocal styles  (e.g., conversational, corporate, energetic, calm)
