Job Description

About the Opportunity

Arctic Engines AI is building a high-quality voice dataset for an AI voice technology project and is hiring experienced Urdu voice artists for a paid, in-studio recording engagement.

Requirement: 10

Language: Urdu

Requirements

What You'll Do

• Attend a scheduled in-studio recording session (billed at ~2 hours of processed audio; plan for a longer studio slot to allow for test recordings and retakes)
• Record a variety of scripted content — everyday conversational scripts, industry/professional-context scripts, and customer-support-style scripts involving numbers, codes, and dates
• Deliver takes across specified emotional tones (cheerful, low, flat, excited) as directed
• Take live direction from the recording engineer on pacing, pronunciation, mic technique, and retakes
• Maintain consistent voice quality, energy, and studio discipline through the full session

Who We're Looking For

• 1–2+ years of professional experience in voice-over, dubbing, radio jockeying, audiobook narration, or comparable voice work
• A demo reel, voice sample, or portfolio that demonstrates range, clarity, and control
• Native or near-native in Urdu fluency with clear, broadly neutral pronunciation
• Proven ability to sustain vocal quality and focus across a 2+ hour recording session
• Comfortable taking direction and shifting delivery across multiple emotional registers on cue
• Prior studio/professional recording experience — comfortable with mic distance, positioning, and repeated retakes without fatigue affecting quality
• Reliable and punctual, able to commit to a scheduled in-studio slot in Bengaluru
• Willing to sign a confidentiality/NDA agreement, as this project involves proprietary AI training data

Nice to Have

• Experience recording alphanumeric or technical scripts (IVR, e-learning, customer support VO)
• Comfort with multiple dialects or accent ranges within Urdu
• Own basic recording setup (useful if a remote audition sample is requested before the studio session)

Engagement & Compensation

• Freelance, per-project engagement — one studio recording session
• Fixed one-time payment of up to 8,000, processed ~30 days after recording approval₹
• No ongoing commitment beyond the single session unless mutually agreed

How to Apply

• Submit your resume along with a demo reel, voice sample, or links to previous voice work.
