About this role

From the Mercor listing

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 Australia-based native English speakers with authentic Australian accents to contribute high-quality voice recordings for training and evaluating cutting-edge speech models. This role is open to both experienced voice professionals and 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.


Key Responsibilities

  • Record high-quality voice samples across diverse scripts (conversational, narrative, instructional, etc.)

  • Deliver clear, natural, and expressive speech with strong control over tone, pacing, and pronunciation

  • Maintain consistency in voice, accent, and delivery across recording sessions

  • Follow detailed recording guidelines (environment, microphone setup, file formatting)

  • Perform multiple takes with variation in emotion, emphasis, and style when required

Requirements

  • Native English speaker with an authentic Australian accent, currently based in Australia

  • A clear, natural, and expressive voice (prior voice acting, narration, or broadcast experience is a plus, not required)

  • Access to a professional or near-professional recording setup (quality microphone, quiet environment, pop filter, etc.)

  • Strong command of intonation, diction, and emotional range

  • Ability to follow scripts precisely while maintaining natural delivery

  • Availability for a single ~4-hour recording session, with the possibility of a further session of similar length later on

  • [IMP]: Your voice may be cloned for the client's CX AI Agent so please only apply if you are okay with voice cloning. Your recordings will not be sold or reused outside of this specific use case.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience recording for TTS, audiobooks, IVR systems, or AI voice datasets

  • Familiarity with audio editing tools (e.g., Audacity, Adobe Audition, Reaper)

  • Ability to deliver multiple vocal styles (e.g., conversational, corporate, energetic, calm)


Requirements

  • Must be eligible to work in one of: Remote, Australia
  • Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
  • Reliable high-speed internet connection
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
  • Demonstrated expertise in Voice Acting

Common questions

Is Mercor for freelancers or full-time contractors?

Mercor places you with one client for a defined engagement, like 'Python Tutor for 3 months', rather than having you grab small tasks from a shared queue. Most roles function as steady contract work, not one-off gigs.

Does Mercor's application require an on-camera interview?

Yes, every applicant records a video interview with an AI interviewer that asks questions about your resume. Clients review that recording to judge communication skills before matching, so there's no way to apply without going on camera.

How is my creative work used in AI training?

As ground-truth data: for writers, that means creative generation samples; for voice actors, it often means training text-to-speech models. Check the specific contract details on rights usage for your voice or likeness before signing.

Do creative AI training roles allow creative freedom?

Some, within limits. You're hired for your talent, but most projects still require following strict style guides, like keeping a neutral tone or matching a technical-manual style. Consistency across the dataset matters more than personal expression here.

What does Voice Acting work look like for a Voice Actor: CX Agent Voice Cloning (Australian English)?

Tasks here are scoped to Voice Acting, not generic labeling. As a Voice Actor: CX Agent Voice Cloning (Australian English), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Voice Acting) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Voice Acting background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What specific skills does this listing call for?

Australian English and English are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.

How many hours per week does this role require?

Based on the listing, this role is scoped at 5–10 hours per week. Treat this as a real commitment expectation, not a loose estimate.

How much does this specific role pay?

This listing is posted at $50–$100/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.

Do I need to be fluent in Australian English or English?

Yes. This role specifically requires Australian English or English proficiency, on top of the English most AI training work assumes by default. If Australian English is not a language you're fluent in, this is not the right role. Filter for your native language to find better-matched listings.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to Mercor's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.

Can I apply from outside Australia?

This specific role is open only to people based in Australia. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply.

How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?

Not immediately. Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue, so applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You start working only once a specific client, like a major AI lab, selects your profile, and that matching process can take weeks.
