We are a university in Germany looking for 3 voice actors to record short texts in English to be used in a listening test. They are scripted, but we'd like someone who can bring them alive somewhat as if they weren't entirely scripted (e.g. adding occasional natural fillers and intonation as if they are largely freely spoken). Any accent, also non-native accents as long as they are clear.

Can record in your own time.

This role would be for one half of a dialogue in a podcast debate. The topic is the pros/cons of taxing products high in sugar. This half of the dialogue is approximately 400 words. Male role (age approx 30+). The dialogue is written in a way which doesn't require the text to be recorded with the other person. We will edit them together.

All that is needed is good audio quality and no background noise.

Example of text:

"I don’t dispute that some reductions in consumption can occur, but my concern is with the broader economic and social impact. A tax like this disproportionately affects lower-income households. Products with high amounts of added sugar tend to be some of cheapest, especially when compared to healthier alternatives like fresh fruit and vegetables, so, for people living paycheck to paycheck, it’s just a bigger burden. It shouldn’t just be about changing behavior; it’s more about making sure that change doesn’t unfairly target vulnerable people."
