Payments will be issued after all three hours are reviewed to confirm they meet all of the necessary requirements.



The recordings will be used for internal TTS research and development purposes. There will be NO public broadcast, paid usage, or external TTS model deployment. Your voice will be used exclusively for non-broadcast, internal purposes in perpetuity.

General requirements:

Application Process:

Interested talent should submit a proposal and a bid for the full 3 hours of recording. The average fixed price for this work is $175 for three hours.



No Upwork fees will be deducted from your earnings, meaning you will receive the full bid amount if it is accepted.



If you have links to videos or voice recordings of you, please list them. Otherwise, please do a short 1 minute voice recording to submit as a sample.



Multiple freelancers will be hired for this work.
