  • The test session is comprised of scripted content, along with unscripted speech with a partner. A director will be present in the session to guide you through the recordings and ensure a successful recording day.
  • Being selected for the test session does not guarantee that you will proceed to the next phase. 
  • You will be compensated by our client for this test session including travel expenses.

Phase 3: Selected for Cloning

  • If your test session is selected for cloning, you will work directly with our end client for next steps and further compensation details.
