About this role
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 USA-based speakers with native American English accents to contribute high-quality voice recordings for training and evaluating cutting-edge speech models. This role is open to professional voice actors as well as people with customer-support, call-center, or other customer-experience (CX) backgrounds — and to 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.
