Job description

Overview

Welo Data is looking for fluent Japanese speakers to participate in a professional studio recording project. No prior experience is required, just confidence, a clear voice, and a willingness to collaborate!

This is not an acting role. We’re simply looking for individuals who can read and speak naturally, clearly, and confidently in the associated language while being recorded in a studio setting.

What you will do:

-Speak clearly and confidently in your dialect while participating in studio recording sessions.

-Improvise where needed to enhance the delivery and ensure natural flow.

-Follow straightforward recording instructions from the studio team.

No memorization required. No performance background required.

Project Details

Start Date: March 2026

Duration: 3 weeks, with the possibility of extension

Commitment: 4 hours a day, up to 2 days in the studio, throughout a week.

Opportunity Type: Freelance/Independent Contract

Location: Los Angeles Based (On-site in a recording studio)

Language: Japanese

Pay Rate: $55/hour

Requirements:

-Native-level fluency in the target language.

-Comfortable speaking publicly in a professional studio setting.

-Ability to traverse a normal conversation for 2-5 minutes with a clear, natural speaking voice.

-Reliable and able to attend in-person studio sessions.

-Prior experience in teaching, public speaking, customer service, or similar roles is a plus — but not required.

Referral bonus: Earn a $75 USD referral bonus when both you and your referral complete all application steps (full registration) and both of you complete an in-studio recording session.

If you are confident, creative, and eager to contribute to high-quality studio recordings, we’d love to hear from you.

Join us for this exciting opportunity to collaborate on impactful recordings!
