emote Project: Native U.S. English Speakers Required for Conversational Audio Tasks

Upwork

This initiative requires in-person conversations to be recorded between native American English speakers.

The audio collected through the Funcrowd app will capture topic-based dialogue between two native English speakers.

The USA Conversation Project's brief description is as follows: Record spontaneous and conversational interactions in American English.

"NOTE": You cannot appear in the same task twice, thus if you have already finished the task with another customer, you are not eligible.

This task involves capturing natural conversation on specific topics. To record, use the Funcrowd app. Like when you call someone to discuss something, this is a straightforward chore that you may record whenever it's convenient for you.

There is no need for any formal or pretentious talk because it is a natural conversation.
