需要英语母语者（北美）– 一小时音频录制项目
English Speakers Needed (North America) – One-Hour Audio Recording Project
我们正在寻找位于北美的母语英语使用者，参与语音数据收集项目。参与者将通过虚拟录音室录制大约一小时的音频，以支持语音和语言技术的开发。
这是一项简单的录音任务，不需要专业的配音经验或专业录音设备。
本项目收集的录音仅用于研究和开发目的。
你将负责
· 使用我们的虚拟录音平台录制大约一小时的提示语音
· 在安静的环境中完成录音
· 在整个过程中自然清晰地说话
· 音频录音将在完成时自动从工作室提交以供审核
我们寻找的人选
· 母语为英语的使用者
· 目前位于北美洲
· 能够仔细遵循录音说明
· 有可靠的互联网连接，且能使用电脑、麦克风和安静的录音环境
· 不需要之前有配音或录音经验
音频样本要求：
· 本项目无需试音。
· 但作为申请的一部分，所有申请人必须提交一段使用他们计划用于项目的相同麦克风、设备和环境录制的简短音频样本。
· 请提交长度约为30-60秒的样本。
录音要求
为确保高质量的录音，参与者必须：
· 在安静的室内环境中录音
· 在整个会话中使用一致的录音设置
· 清晰并以自然的节奏说话
· 确保声音始终清晰可听
· 减少背景噪音和干扰
技术要求
· 系统配置：你的设备必须确保音频硬件、接口或麦克风的采样率与我们提供的工作室中使用的录音设置相匹配。
· 设备：XLR麦克风是最佳选择。强烈建议不要使用笔记本电脑和蓝牙麦克风。
· 麦克风位置：麦克风应放置在距离嘴巴约6到8英寸的位置。
· 必要的音频指标：工作室设置检查将测量噪声底限、语音电平和信噪比，并在开始录音前检查是否有削波现象。
· 环境一致性：设置检查只在测试运行时测量指标。测试后任何背景噪音或麦克风位置的变化都不会被检测。

We are seeking native English speakers located in North America to participate in a voice data collection project. Participants will record approximately one hour of audio through a virtual recording studio to support the development of speech and language technologies.
This is a straightforward recording task and does not require professional voice acting experience or a professional recording setup.
The recordings collected for this project will be used for research and development purposes only.
What You'll Do
· Record approximately 1 hour of prompted speech using our virtual recording platform
· Complete the recording in a quiet environment
· Speak naturally and clearly throughout the session
· Audio recordings will be automatically submitted from the studio for review upon completion
Who We're Looking For
· Native English speakers
· Currently located in North America
· Able to follow recording instructions carefully
· Reliable internet connection, and access to a computer, microphone and quiet recording environment
· No prior voice acting or recording experience is required.
Audio Sample Requirement:
· No audition is required for this project.
· However, for the proposal, all applicants must submit a short audio sample recorded using the same microphone, device, and environment they intend to use for the project.
· Please submit a sample that is approximately 30–60 seconds in length.
Recording Requirements
To ensure high-quality recordings, participants must:
· Record in a quiet indoor environment
· Use a consistent recording setup throughout the session
· Speak clearly and at a natural pace
· Ensure their voice can be heard clearly at all times
· Minimize background noise and interruptions
Technical Requirements
· System Configuration: Your talent must ensure their audio hardware, interface, or microphone is set to a sample rate that matches the recording settings used in the Studio that we provide access to.
· Equipment: An XLR microphone is the best option. Use of laptop and Bluetooth microphones is strongly discouraged.
· Microphone Positioning: The microphone should be placed approximately 6 to 8 inches from the mouth.
· Required Audio Metrics: The Studio setup check will measure noise floor, voice level, and signal-to-noise ratio, and will check for clipping before recording begins.
· Environmental Consistency: The setup check only measures metrics at the moment the test runs. Any subsequent changes to background noise, microphone position, or gain and volume settings will affect the final audio.
Scripts
· The scripts are not continuous and consist of different utterances spoken separately. You will record these in the studio and they will be automatically sent to the end client. Because of this, there will be no need for post editing, naming, or splitting.
The following are NOT permitted during recording:
· Television, music, podcasts, or other audio playing in the background
· Conversations from other people
· Fans, appliances, or other persistent background noise
· Turning on noisy devices during the recording session
· Recording while driving or in public spaces
Recordings that do not meet quality standards may be rejected.
Important Notes
· Recordings must be completed by the selected participant. AI-generated or synthetic voices are strictly prohibited.
· Recordings are subject to quality review.
· Audio recordings will be used for research and technology development purposes.
When applying, please include your short audio sample recorded with the setup you intend to use for the project in your Upwork proposal.
