For my Thai cooking YouTube channel I need the voice of an older woman, ideally 50+. No young voice, a mature, warm mother.
The voice
- She speaks English with a strong THAI accent. Easy to understand, but clearly Thai.
- It must sound Thai, not Filipino. You don't have to be Thai. If you can do a convincing Thai accent, apply!
- She is a Thai mother telling her daughter how to cook it right. Calm, warm, a little strict. Not too fast, not too slow.
- She calls her daughter "Noo" (my little dear). That is the sweet Thai word mothers use for their daughter. Say it soft and loving.
Tips for the Thai accent
- Soft or dropped word endings ("five minute" instead of "five minutes")
- R often sounds like L ("rice" sounds a bit like "lice")
- Even, sing-song rhythm, short sentences, gentle tone
The task
Record the text below as one audio file. Paragraphs 1 and 2 are the most important, paragraph 3 is optional.
Use a microphone, quiet room, no background noise, no music. Just your voice.
1. "Noo, come here. You are exhausted from work, and look at what you bought. A soggy papaya salad from a plastic takeout bag, way too sweet, completely overpriced, and a house full of people who need to eat in 15 minutes."
2. "So, they grab instant noodles or order a $20 pad thai on an app. Sit down, Noo. Because that half a green papaya, those three chilies, and the limes on your counter are already a feast. And it is the exact Som Tum Mae pounded for us every single Sunday before we went to the temple."
3. (optional) "You throw the garlic and chilies right into the krok (mortar). You bruise them quickly. You add fish sauce, palm sugar, and lime, and you fold in the papaya. It takes 5 minutes, you only dirty one mortar, and the flavor wakes you right up while you set the table."
How it works
1. Apply here on OnlineJobs. Tell me your age (or if you have a mature voice) and why you can do a Thai accent.
2. If it fits, I send you my WhatsApp. You send me a short test voice message with the Thai accent.
3. If the test is good, you record the text above and send it to me. You get $15 by bank transfer.
4. I would like to use your voice for future videos on the channel. By sending the file you agree that I can use the recording for my YouTube videos, including AI voice tools.
Please start your message with "THAI VOICE".
