We welcome performers of all backgrounds and experience levels. A wide range of voices, speech patterns, and physical presence makes the resulting AI more representative of the real world.

The footage from your sessions is used as training data for consumer AI devices. It is not used to clone anyone's face or voice or generate synthetic media of you. Before any recording, you review and sign a plain-language agreement that states exactly how the material is used, and you can ask us anything about it before you commit.

Recordings are used only for AI research and training. They are not shared publicly and are not used for advertising or any other commercial purpose. Consent, transparency, and respect guide how we collect and store this material.
