Bulgarian Voice Recording for Language App

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’m building a Bulgarian language-learning app for English speakers. The audio is teaching material: every syllable and stress must be clear enough to repeat. Not an ad. Not a concert. Who this is for Native Bulgarian Accent: standard Sofia / столичен книжовен говор — the capital-city standard learners should copy Preferred: based in or from Sofia, or able to hold that standard consistently I will not mix regional dialects, strongly marked eastern/southern speech, or diaspora / English-influenced Bulgarian in this product How to apply Proposal only. Tell me where you are, that you speak standard Sofia Bulgarian, your hourly rate, and when you can do one hour. Do not record yet. Do not attach WAVs, mp3s, or a self-made test. I will send the base script (Word file) after I reply. Record from that script only. Files that are not from the script will not be used in the app and will not be compared with the other speakers. If I send the script 1 hour at your listed rate, via Upwork About 40 minutes of recording; the rest is setup, retakes, and your notes Test only. App use would be a separate written agreement and a separate fee How to record (after you have the script) Quiet room, raw WAV, 48 kHz / 24-bit if you can. No music bed, no radio preset, no normalize, no limiter. Set gain once. Peaks about –10 to –6 dBFS, never 0. Five files, named as in the script: twisters.wav numbers_isolated.wav numbers_sentences.wav song_goro.wav silence.wav (10 seconds at the same gain) The script has the six twisters, numbers in both written and spoken forms (осемнадесет / осемнайсет), a short closed sentence list, and the exact lines for «Хубава си, моя горо» (half-voice, unarranged). If a line is wrong for learners, say so in a note. Office in Sofia with a Focusrite and Shure MV7 is optional and only if we book it. Do not drive in for the test. If that matches, send the short proposal and wait for the script.
