1-StopAsia is looking for pairs of Finnish native speakers to take part in a paid voice recording project supporting a data collection initiative for an international client. Selected participants will record a natural, scripted conversation in Finnish - the recordings are used to support language/AI data collection work.

What's Involved

• You'll be paired with another native Finnish speaker (a friend, colleague, or family member you already know is ideal - but we can also match you with another participant if you're applying alone)
• Each pair records a scripted conversation together, approximately 2.5 hours total (recording can be done in one session or split across a few, depending on scheduling)
• Recording is done via Zoom or a simple recording app - we'll provide the script and clear instructions
• Before the full recording, each pair will submit a short 1-minute sample conversation for quality approval

Requirements

• Native Finnish speaker (fluency and comfort speaking naturally in Finnish is essential - no professional voice/acting experience required)
• Comfortable being recorded on camera/audio for an extended conversation
• Access to a quiet space, a computer or smartphone, and a stable internet connection
• Able to coordinate scheduling with a recording partner

Benefits

• $70 USD per person for the full 2.5-hour recording
• Paid in USD, released in stages following quality review and final client acceptance

Timeline

• This is a live, active project - apply as soon as possible, as we're scheduling recording sessions on a rolling basis
• If you can pair up with someone you already know, please apply together and mention this in your application

How to Apply

Submit your application with your name, contact details, whether you're applying solo or with a recording partner (please include their name too if so), and confirm you're a native Finnish speaker.
