Remote • English Voice Recording • Under 60 Minutes • Earn $15–$27+ Per Completed Task 

Your voice can help us better understand how people from different language backgrounds naturally speak and interact with voice technology. 

Volga Partners is inviting multilingual participants to join a Global Language Research Project focused on understanding natural English speech across different languages, accents, generations, regions, and devices.

Most participants finish in approximately 20–35 minutes, and the entire task is designed to take less than 60 minutes. 

No professional voice, acting, or research experience is required.

Participants should: 

  • Have strong English reading and comprehension skills 
  • Be comfortable reading short English sentences and conversational prompts aloud

  • Speak clearly and naturally when recording 

You do not need a specific English accent. We want to hear natural voices from people with different language backgrounds.
