Frequently Asked Questions

What script should I read

Read whatever brings out your best voice. It could be a news article, medical report, religious text, agricultural information, or anything else that showcases your talent the best.

What languages are you looking for?

Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto, Balochi, and Sindhi.

Do I need to be a professional voice actor to apply?

No, not at all! You don’t need to be a professional voice actor or have any prior voice-over experience to have a strong chance of being selected.

We’re looking for natural, authentic voices that people enjoy listening to. If you can articulate clearly and bring scripts to life in a genuine way, you’re exactly who we’re looking for—no professional background required!

What are the voice sample requirements?

Submit at least 5 minutes of audio showcasing your strengths. You can share narration or conversational style samples, or showcase a variety of voices you can do.

There’s no “wrong” approach — share what you do best.

How much time is required for this opportunity?

For the initial application, all we need is 5 minutes of your voice—simple and quick.

If you’re shortlisted, we’ll invite you to a paid 1-hour recording session. You can do this from home, a studio, or even on your phone—no fancy equipment needed.

After that, we’ll hold public trials to see which voices resonate the most. If selected, you’ll be offered a contract for 20+ hours of studio-quality recording.

What equipment do I need to record my voice samples?

Use whatever equipment you have — just ensure the recording is done in a quiet environment.

Should I post-process my voice?

No. We want to hear your raw, natural voice, so please don’t use any software enhancements. In fact, post-processing is likely to hurt your chances, so it’s best to keep it simple and authentic.

Can I work remotely?

Yes, absolutely! You can work remotely all the way until the final stage.

For the final stage, recording will need to be done in a studio. But if you have a high-quality setup at home, let us know — we’re open to reviewing it on a case-by-case basis.

What happens after I submit my application?

Once you submit your application, we’ll review it and get back to you within 48 hours.

Will my voice samples be used for any purpose other than evaluation?

No. Your voice samples will only be used for talent evaluation. They will not be used for AI model training unless you are selected and contracted.

How does the referral bonus program work?

If you refer someone who gets selected as a voice talent, you’ll receive a referral bonus equal to 10% of their income. This is in addition to their compensation and does not reduce their pay.
