Paid English Conversation Recording Study

About the Role

We are recruiting participants for a paid voice recording project involving natural English conversations. You will be matched with another participant and complete a guided, role-based conversation based on an everyday scenario.

This is not a scripted reading task. Before each session you receive a short brief describing your role, the situation, and your conversation goals. Some details may be visible only to you and not to your partner. You then speak naturally, respond in real time, and work through the situation in your own words. No acting or voice-over experience is required.

Your participation will include:

Completing guided conversation tasks with an assigned partner, approximately 20 to 30 minutes per session plus setup time
Working from a short role brief provided before each session
Recording online through Riverside from a quiet, private room using headphones
Attending paired sessions scheduled in advance

Who We're Looking For

You must:

Be 18 years or older
Be comfortable speaking English in a natural conversation
Be comfortable having your voice recorded
Use a laptop or desktop computer for all recording sessions
Use headphones during recording sessions
Have a stable internet connection
Record from a quiet, private indoor room
Be able to remain in that room without interruptions for at least 30 minutes
Be able to attend scheduled recording sessions with another participant

Phones and tablets cannot be used for recording.
