Got a normal voice? It's worth money

AI voice companies need recordings of how regular people actually talk — not actors performing it. We pay you $100, one-time, for about 30 minutes of natural conversation. Record from your phone. We handle the rest.

What we're looking for

We want voices that sound like real people talking — not voice actors, not podcasters, not announcers. Think: how you'd sound on a phone call with a coworker, or chatting with a friend.

Clear voices in any accent or age group (18+). You can record on a decent phone in a quiet room — no professional gear required for casual/conversational voice work.

Listen to a sample of what we mean
This is the natural, unperformed style we're after. Notice the casual pacing, the small filler words, the way the energy rises and falls without effort. If your normal speaking voice sounds something like this, you're a fit.

We're not a fit if you're a working voice actor. Trained voice talent is excellent at performance — but performance is exactly what we're trying to avoid. We screen voice-over experience out at the application stage.

Common questions

How much do I get paid?

$100 for a complete, approved submission, paid by your preferred method within 5 business days.

Is this license perpetual?

Yes. By signing the release you grant us perpetual rights to license your voice recordings and any AI models trained from them. This is what makes the one-time payment possible.

Can I take my voice back later?

No. The license is irrevocable — once you've signed, you can't withdraw it. Please read the agreement carefully before signing.

Will my real name be attached to the AI voice?

No. Your name stays in our records for licensing and payment purposes only. The AI voices we license are not labeled with your identity.

What equipment do I need?

A modern smartphone (iPhone or Android from the last 4 years) is enough for Scene 2 / conversational voice work. Record in a quiet room, away from fans, traffic, and music.

Do I need to read a script?

No. We actually prefer unscripted, natural speech. We'll send you conversation prompts — things you can talk about freely for a couple of minutes each.

Can I submit existing audio I already have?

Yes, often. If you have clean recordings of yourself from Zoom calls, podcasts, or voice memos, we can sometimes use those. Mention it in the form.

For this project we want natural, unperformed speech — so working voice actors aren't a fit for our current rate. If that's you, we still want your details on file. Answer truthfully.
