Australian Accent Voice Recordings

We're a media company building a speech dataset and we need natural Australian speech, regional accents included. You'll record 1 hour (in sessions of 10-20 minutes) on your own phone at home, then transcribe them.

Pay: 20 USD for the completed 1 hour
Requirements: grew up in Australia, comfortable reading and writing English, a phone and a quiet room
No experience needed. We're after ordinary everyday speech, not voice-acting.

To apply, send a 15-second voice note reading this line: "I was gonna grab a coffee on the way home, but I got stuck in traffic and ended up taking the back roads instead." and tell me which town you went to secondary school in.

Acceptance checks
• Clear Australian accent, no heavy noise or echo.
• Raw, unfiltered audio—no compression, EQ, or post-processing.
• Delivered within 24 hours after you accept the task.

These files are strictly for linguistic research; they will never appear in advertising or commercial products. Once I confirm the audio meets the study’s quality standards, I’ll release payment within one business day. A quick, straightforward gig for anyone with a true-blue Aussie voice and a few spare minutes.
