Elementary English / Phonics Teacher Needed for Children’s App Audio Recording
I am developing a children’s phonics learning app and I am looking for an elementary English teacher, international school teacher, reading teacher, ESL teacher, or phonics teacher to record accurate phonics sound units. This is not a regular voice-over project. The main requirement is accurate isolated phoneme pronunciation and segmented blending sounds for young learners. Ideal candidate: - Current or former elementary English teacher - Strong experience teaching phonics or early literacy - General American English pronunciation preferred - Experience with ESL / ELL students is a plus - Clear, warm, child-friendly voice - Able to record clean audio from a quiet environment Important pronunciation requirements: - /p/ should not sound like “puh” - /t/ should not sound like “tuh” - /k/ should not sound like “kuh” - /m/ should not sound like “muh” - /s/ should not sound like “suh” - /ŋ/ should not have an extra /g/ sound - /θ/ and /ð/ must be clearly different - /æ/, /ɛ/, and /ɪ/ must be clearly distinct - General American /r/, /ɝ/, and /ɚ/ should sound natural Project process: 1. Start with a paid 20-item audition. 2. If the audition passes, continue with a core sound unit recording package. 3. Future batches may be added if the collaboration works well. Delivery requirements: - Separate audio file for each item - WAV preferred - 44.1kHz or 48kHz preferred - Mono preferred - Clean audio, no background noise - No clipping or over-compression - Consistent volume across files - File names must follow the provided list Usage rights: The recordings will be used in a commercial children’s phonics mobile app and web app. Your quote must include worldwide, perpetual commercial usage rights.
