Summary

We are seeking an exceptional audio editor to help families talk in a foreign language! If you're passionate about crafting high-quality audio experiences, this opportunity is for you. Important: We’re looking for people who will automate the editing process as much as possible. We want you to work smart, not hard. When applying, please explain: - Which software you plan to use - Which features, scripts, macros, plugins, or AI tools you plan to use - How many hours of audio you believe you can process per day .:: About Us ::. TalkBox.Mom is dedicated to helping families talk in a foreign language. Our program includes a mobile Companion App with native speaker audio for all the phrases in our subscription boxes. .:: Your Role ::. As our audio editor, you’ll closely collaborate with our project manager. Knowing that our voice-over artists record each sentence word by word first, then the full sentence, your responsibilities will include: - Combining word-by-word parts and full sentences that belong together in order to export one file per sentence, and adding silences long enough to repeat after each word and each full sentence. - Removing retakes, false starts, and any other unwanted audio left in the recording so that only the final approved take remains. - Naming audio files according to the audio numbers provided in the reference sheet to ensure the correct phrases are matched to the correct audio in the app. - Verifying that recorded phrases match the reference sheet and reporting any discrepancies requiring retakes from our voice-over artists. - Providing feedback on raw audio quality to maintain our high standards. - Delivering high-quality MP3 files that are free from distracting noise, and follow the specifications provided by the project manager. .:: Languages ::. The audio files you'll be working with may be in any of the following languages: - Spanish - French - German - Italian - Mandarin - Japanese - Hebrew - Romanian - Portuguese - Korean - Russian Proficiency in one or more of these languages is a plus, but it is not required. For languages that use a non-Latin alphabet (Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Hebrew, and Russian), phonetic transcriptions will be provided to help you verify the recordings against the reference sheet. .:: Your Application ::. To apply, please edit the following recording: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aynU2NeHqxq6ASbUu9iA35OtGd3sNjiV/view?usp=share_link The recording contains these French phrases: - Tu veux un gobelet ? - Tu peux m'apporter un mug, s'il te plaît ? - Mets les bols sur la table. Your final submission should contain 3 separate audio files (one per sentence). Each file should be split word by word first, with a pause of exactly 2 seconds between the words, then have the full sentence, followed by a pause of exactly 2 seconds. For example: Tu [2-second pause] veux [2-second pause] un [2-second pause] gobelet ? [2-second pause] Tu veux un gobelet ? [2-second pause] Looking forward to meeting you!
