What the work involves
You record scripted audio — conversational turns, narrative passages, instructional lines, and support-style dialogue — under a fixed recording specification. Sessions are self-directed: you receive scripts and guidelines, record in your own space, and upload files that meet the stated format, noise floor, and naming conventions. Expect to deliver multiple takes of the same line with deliberate variation in emotion, emphasis, and pace, and to re-record batches when QA flags room tone, plosives, sibilance, mouth clicks, or drift in delivery.
Consistency is the core deliverable. Because the recordings feed a voice-cloning pipeline, your mic position, gain staging, room treatment, and vocal energy need to match across sessions that may be weeks apart. A take that sounds fine in isolation can still be rejected if it does not sit alongside the rest of the corpus.
What the platform screens for
- Verified voice quality. Mercor's screen is AI-led and includes recorded audio; expect your accent, diction, and room acoustics to be assessed directly rather than described.
- Native Mexican Spanish and current residence in Mexico. Both are hard requirements, not preferences.
- Documented experience. Voice acting, dubbing, narration, podcasting, or broadcast credits you can point to. Prior TTS, IVR, audiobook, or AI dataset work is a meaningful advantage.
- Equipment reality check. Specific mic model, interface, treatment, and DAW — vague answers here usually end the screen.
- Informed consent to cloning. The client will train a synthetic voice on your recordings for their internal CX agent. Recordings are stated as not sold, licensed, or reused elsewhere. If that arrangement is not acceptable to you, this is not the right quest.
Logistics and pay
Fully remote and asynchronous from within Mexico, with a stated commitment of 5–10 hours per week for the project duration. The observed rate for this listing is $50/hr — treat that as the posted band, not a guarantee; actual offers on Mercor vary with assessed quality and project scope. Budget unpaid time for the initial screen, calibration takes, and setup validation before billable recording begins.
