Italian Expressive Voice AI Trainer

Outlier partners with leading AI companies to improve how artificial intelligence understands real people: how we speak, express emotion, communicate intent, and respond naturally in everyday situations.

We are looking for native Italian speakers who are comfortable using their voice. This project is a strong fit for people who can bring clarity, personality, and emotional range to short audio recordings. You do not need to be a professional actor, but you should be expressive, confident, and able to speak naturally in front of a microphone.

What You'll Work On

You may be asked to complete a variety of audio and text-based tasks, such as:

• Recording short audio clips
• Reading or acting brief scripts with different tones, emotions, or speaking styles
• Listening to or reviewing audio clips and capturing details in text
• Helping improve AI systems' understanding of human speech, tone, and expression
  
  

This opportunity may be a great match if you have experience in

• Acting, theater, or improv
• Podcasting, streaming, or vocal performance
• Call centers, sales, or customer support
• Public speaking or presenting
• Any role where clear, expressive communication is important
  
  

Naturally outgoing and expressive speakers are encouraged to apply, even without formal performance experience.

Requirements

• Native fluency in Italian
• Strong vocal clarity, expression, and emotional range
• Quiet, distraction-free recording environment
• Reliable internet connection
• Must not be located in any restricted country or region listed below
  
  

Nice to Have

• Theater, improv, acting, or voiceover experience
• Classical vocal training or public speaking background
• Professional microphone or home recording setup
• Prior experience recording audio content
