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 USA-based voice actors with native Southern American English accents (e.g. Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi) to contribute high-quality voice recordings for training and evaluating cutting-edge speech models. This role is ideal for professionals with experience in voice acting, narration, or broadcast who can deliver consistent, expressive, and clean audio across a variety of scripts.

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 Southern American English speaker currently based in the United States, with an authentic Southern US accent

  • Proven experience in voice acting, dubbing, narration, podcasting, or broadcasting

  • 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

  • Reliable availability for 5–10 hours per week throughout the project duration. Please note: This is a short-term project expected to last 1–2 weeks.

  • [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

  • Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
  • Reliable high-speed internet connection
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
  • Demonstrated expertise in Voice Acting

Frequently Asked 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.

Does it cost money to apply to Mercor?

No, applying and joining Mercor is free. Mercor's revenue comes from a fee it charges the client on top of your hourly rate, not from applicants. Treat any request for payment to join as a red flag.

What equipment do I need for creative AI training roles?

For voice or audio roles at this pay level, a professional home studio setup (XLR microphone, acoustically treated room) is typically required. Phone recordings and laptop mics usually get rejected by quality control.

How is my creative work actually 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 (Southern USA)?

Tasks here are scoped to Voice Acting, not generic labeling. As a Voice Actor: CX Agent Voice Cloning (Southern USA), 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.

How many hours per week does this role require?

Based on the listing, this role is scoped at 5–10 hours per week, over roughly a 2-week contract. Treat this as a real commitment expectation, not a loose estimate.

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

Yes. This role specifically requires American English or English proficiency. You will likely be evaluated on written fluency during the assessment, not just conversational level. If American English is not your first language or you are not professionally fluent, 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 USA?

This specific role is restricted to USA. If you are outside these locations, applying is unlikely to result in an offer even if you pass the assessment. Check the full job description for any VPN or tax-residency caveats.

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.
