Authentic British Speakers wanted for a Speech Recording Project

SIDE UK are currently casting for a pilot speech recording project for AI training and are looking for non-professional speakers, who are aged 40 and over, with an authentic accent in each of the following UK dialects.

You can be located anywhere in the UK and record remotely. We are looking to cast both male and female speakers in each of the following dialects:
Midlands
Welsh
Irish
Liverpool
Geordie
Cockney
London
Scottish
To be considered, you will need to provide a minimum 30-second clean audio self-tape sample, recorded in a quiet room in your own home. Please note, this will be for review by Side UK only and not used for AI training. Self tapes will not be paid.

Selected participants will then be invited to record three topics for the project. The recording session will be remote and should take approximately one hour. Selected participants will be paid for their time, rate TBD. These recordings would then be used for AI training.

Please submit your audio self-tape to this form: https://forms.gle/9VWjQAuQ3gwMk3t37

Applications close by 2pm on Friday 25th September 2026.
