South African English Voice Actor Specialist | Remote | Gqeberha

OpsArmy is hiring a South African English Voice Actor Specialist based in Walmer, Eastern Cape, Gqeberha, for remote project work supporting AI and machine learning audio pipelines. This role sits within the voice recording and data production workflow, where the primary output is clean, accent-authentic speech recordings used to train speech recognition and natural language processing systems. It suits a voice professional with strong vocal range and genuine South African English fluency, whether that background comes from broadcast, voice-over, audiobook narration, or podcast production.

About the Role

The South African English Voice Actor Specialist works independently on scripted recording sessions delivered through online recording platforms, contributing voice data assets directly to AI speech and language projects. A typical session involves reading varied scripts across registers, from conversational to formal, while maintaining consistent accent integrity and technical audio quality throughout. This is freelance-style remote work structured around project deadlines and recording targets rather than a fixed production schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• Record voice scripts across a range of speaking styles, emotional tones, and delivery paces as specified by each project brief, maintaining an authentic South African English accent throughout.
• Perform character voices and situational dialogue as required by AI training scripts, applying the vocal control expected in professional voice-over and audiobook narration work.
• Self-review all recorded audio before submission, checking for consistency, accuracy, and freedom from background noise or technical artifacts.
• Interpret script instructions and pronunciation guidelines independently, flagging any ambiguities or technical issues to the project team before they affect the recording pipeline.
• Meet session deadlines and per-project recording targets, managing your own schedule across concurrent or sequential script batches.
• Operate online recording platforms and basic audio tools to capture, review, and submit files that meet the technical specifications of each speech data project.

What You Bring

• Native or near-native South African English proficiency with a verifiable, consistent accent across extended recording sessions.
• A background in voice acting, voice-over production, broadcasting, podcasting, or audiobook narration is preferred.
• Prior experience recording for speech recognition, AI training datasets, gaming audio, or media production is a strong advantage.
• Access to a quiet recording environment and a reliable internet connection suitable for remote session delivery.
• Familiarity with audio recording software and basic editing tools, with access to a quality microphone considered a plus.

The remote structure allows South African English Voice Actor Specialists to take on this work alongside existing production or media commitments. OpsArmy contacts qualified applicants directly to outline project scope and next steps.
