Hydrus – Session Director – Spanish (Peru) – V2 — Welocalize

About the Project<span data-ccp-props=”{“335559738″:240,”335559739″:120}”> 

Project Hydrus is a scripted and conversational audio data collection project. The recordings produced help build natural, everyday-sounding synthesized voices for conversational AI products — voices that sound like real people talking, not scripted performances.<span data-ccp-props=”{“335559739″:120}”> 

As Session Director, you’ll lead live recording sessions with Voice Contributors, guiding them through scripted scenarios to produce natural, conversational-quality audio. This hands-on role blends creative direction, coaching, and technical audio judgment — making scripted material sound authentic and unscripted, rather than recited, while keeping sessions moving at a natural pace.<span data-ccp-props=”{“335559739″:120}”>
