About the role

This is a project-based opportunity on an AI training platform. No fixed hours, no commitment beyond what fits your schedule. You talk, you get paid.

About the Role: We're looking for bilingual speakers to record short, casual voice clips where they naturally mix English with Chinese - the way they'd actually talk in real life. No script, no scenarios, just you talking about your day, your opinions, whatever comes naturally. Do you switch between English and Chinese mid-sentence without even thinking about it? Rant about your day, discuss your favorite show, think out loud with different languages - say it exactly how you'd say it to a friend. What if you could get paid just for recording it?

Responsibilities:

Record 1-2 minute voice clips responding to a prompt or reacting to a short video
Speak naturally, switching between English and Chinese the way you normally would in everyday conversation
Complete a few clips per recording session

Requirements

Language: Fully bilingual - fluent or native in both English and Chinese, and someone who naturally mixes the two when speaking

Equipment: Any device works, including your phone - no studio or special equipment needed

Recording environment: A quiet room with no background music, TV, traffic, or other people talking Audio quality: Clear voice, close to the mic, one speaker only, no echo. A headset or earbuds with a mic helps but isn't required

Note: Quiet, clean audio matters most - background noise or unclear speech can affect approval Why is this freelance opportunity a great fit for you? Get paid to talk - no perfect grammar, no formality: earn up to $30/hour depending on your pace and approval rate Do it from your couch, your phone, wherever's comfortable Flexible, from home, paid per approved recording If you naturally mix Chinese and English when you speak, you're exactly who we're looking for

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
