This role is open to both experienced voice professionals and newcomers with a naturally clear, expressive voice and a good recording setup, prior voice-acting experience is a plus but not required.

• Ability to follow scripts precisely while maintaining natural delivery

• Availability for a single ~4-hour recording session, with the possibility of a further session of similar length later on
