Remote • English Voice Recording • Under 60 Minutes • Earn $15–$27+ Per Completed Task 

Your voice can help us better understand how people from different language backgrounds naturally speak and interact with voice technology. 

Volga Partners is inviting multilingual participants to join a Global Language Research Project focused on understanding natural English speech across different languages, accents, generations, regions, and devices. 

Participants will complete a short, guided English voice-recording activity remotely using their own device. 

Most participants finish in approximately 20–35 minutes, and the entire task is designed to take less than 60 minutes. 

No professional voice, acting, or research experience is required.
