Japanese speakers for AI Character & Emotion Voices
If you’re good at improvising different personality types or comedic voices, you’re invited to audition for an AI chatbot voicing project -- even if you've never done so before. This job is for fluent Japanese speakers. You will work with a Japanese language producer, so you do not have to speak English to qualify. We are a company specializing in providing voices for major companies around the world who need a wide variety of modes and types of voices to better express and entertain users looking to converse with, or get answers from, their various chatbots. And we need speakers of all kinds. The content you might record and we then deliver may be used for computer training or blended with other voices, processed with special effects, or simply used for pure entertainment. There are no limits placed on client usage or timeframe. There’s also no limit to how many hours of performance you may be hired to do, and yes, this work pays an average of $500 per hr, which is a buy-out rate that entitles our clients to unlimited use of your voice recordings for their products. PLEASE NOTE: If you have any usage concerns about your voice being used for online entertainment in this way, please do NOT audition. Still with us? Here’s how to apply: This casting is for multiple Text-To-Speech (TTS) projects and multiple performers will be booked for each project. TTS is a system that converts online text into spoken audio. If you are chosen, each job will be one of the two possible types: 1. A 500-word script that pays $700 for a full buy-out. This is a 10-30 minute session you record on your own (full details, script and instruction provided) and then send in. No editing required on your part — we’ll edit for you! 2. A 60-minute script @ $500-800 per hr, with a full buyout for 10,000 words recorded (usually takes 2-3 hours of booth time, and is produced live with our director in a zoom call). We do the editing.

How to Audition This is a character acting job. In this case, a character is a person imitating a style of speaking: narration, deep, rich-sounding, motivational presenter, gossip-monger, favorite anime characters, impressions of famous people and actors and the like. Anything that steps you out of your normal voice and into something meant to entertain. Examples for Women: Speech-making politician, bored housewife, sassy teen, egotistical intellectual, girl band singer, mother dearest, obnoxious rich girl, foreign accent tourist, tough company boss, etc. Examples for Men: Documentary narrator, deep husky, drill sergeant, elementary school teacher, fire and brimstone preacher, immature, frightened, wily cartoon cat, etc. These are just suggestions — do your best characters — bright, cheerful, positive, serious storyteller, deep, powerful, intimidating, cute, innocent, warm, charming — the possibilities are endless! Step-by-Step: 1. Create a 30-second demo with three characters @ about 10 seconds each. Do NOT identify each character, just switch from one to the next. Do NOT add music or sound effects — voice only, avoiding any background noise. Whatever you choose, pick ways to show the range of your voice, especially your high and low range. [A note to professional actors: You may submit your existing character reel, but please tightly edit to under one minute, and if possible, eliminate any sweetening.] 2. Listen back to be sure the recording is clear and that there is no echo or noise coming through, then export your recording as an mp3. 3. Label your mp3 audition according to the examples below: JA_Char_Your Name.mp3 Please do not announce your name at the beginning or end of the file - just start talking!
