Voice Actor Coordinator

Readeezy, a digital library for struggling teen and older readers, is urgently seeking a highly organized Voice Actor Coordinator to help record audiobook narrations for its stories. As a Voice Actor Coordinator, you will work closely with our staff to review auditions, vet voice actors, sit through narrations, and perform various quality control measures to ensure the final recording is free of errors and ready for implementation. This position is perfect for those who are comfortable with and have past experience with providing direction, articulating thoughts, personable, and are passionate about making books accessible for students who struggle with reading.

About our Readers

Readeezy’s target audience consists of struggling, disabled older readers; therefore, we focus on publishing high-interest, low-reading-level stories that feature dynamic illustrations on every page. These types of stories are engaging for their age group and can be easily read and understood by them. Unfortunately, a lot of books that are accessible to struggling tween and teen readers are tailored towards elementary students. Older students are not interested in the juvenile content of these books. Our vision is to create a digital library that will help them enjoy reading again.
