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.

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