What the work involves
You'll record scripted audio across several registers — conversational customer-service exchanges, short narrative passages, instructional prompts, and system-style utterances — following a detailed spec for microphone distance, room noise floor, file naming, sample rate, and take structure. Sessions are self-directed: you receive a script batch and guidelines, record in your own space, review for mouth clicks, plosives, and inconsistent room tone, then upload. Expect requests for multiple takes of the same line with varied emotion, emphasis, or pacing, and expect consistency checks against your earlier sessions — accent, timbre, and energy level need to hold steady across weeks, not just within a batch.
The critical detail: your voice may be cloned to power the client's internal CX AI agent. Mercor's listing states the recordings will not be sold, licensed, or reused outside that specific product. Only apply if you're comfortable with a synthetic model of your voice being built and deployed in that context.
What the screen looks for
Mercor's application is AI-led and leans on verifiable specifics. Expect to confirm you are a native Peruvian Spanish speaker, female, and currently based in Peru — this is a hard geographic and dialect requirement, not a preference. You'll be asked about prior paid voice work (dubbing, narration, podcast, broadcast, IVR, audiobook), your exact recording chain (microphone model, interface, treatment, pop filter), and how you handle a noisy environment or a script line that reads unnaturally in Peruvian Spanish. A voice sample is typically part of the process; clean audio matters as much as performance. Follow-ups tend to probe depth: if you claim emotional range, expect to be asked how you'd differentiate a calm corporate read from an energetic one on the same line.
Logistics
- Fully remote, recorded from your own space in Peru
- Asynchronous — batches delivered and returned on a schedule, not live-directed sessions
- 5–10 hours per week over the project duration
- Pay observed at $50/hr for this listing; rates on Mercor vary by project, language, and scope and are not guaranteed
- Familiarity with Audacity, Adobe Audition, or Reaper is preferred, mainly for self-QC rather than heavy editing
