What is the project?

Are you a professional voice artist fluent in Japanese, Dutch, or French Canadian? We are looking for talented individuals to join a unique audio recording project for a client’s internal Text-to-Speech (TTS) research and development.

Audio Specifications:

• 24-bit, 48 kHz, mono
