Estimated project duration: less than 1 week
In connection with voice and speech projects for dramatic purposes, I need at least one person with primarily fluency in Somali (any dialect) and good English to Skype with me and perform the following tasks:
1. Read aloud a narrative in Somali-accented English.
2. Read aloud lines from a script in Somali-accented English.
3. Tell a very short, unrehearsed story in Somali-accented English. (The English need not be perfect.)
4. Translate English lines from a script into spoken Somali as we talk through the meaning and context together.
5. Teach me the meanings of the individual Somali words in the translation.
6. Read the Somali lines aloud.
7. Teach me to pronounce the Somali lines.
Recordings will be made of some or all of the Skype session(s). If the recording quality is inadequate, the freelancer will make higher quality recordings and email them as mp3s. No audio editing is required.
The freelancer must have a quiet place to Skype and suitable bandwidth for Skype. Either a headset, USB microphone or set of good quality earbuds with a built-in microphone is preferred unless the freelancer has a laptop with an excellent quality built-in microphone.
Recordings of your voice are *not* intended for broadcast, publication, scientific research or posting to an Internet archive for unrestricted public access. Rather, the recordings are meant to help non-Somali actors learn to sound like Somali speakers.
By virtue of applying to this job, all applicants agree to permit me to make copies of the recordings for my students, the people I coach and anyone else connected with my projects without restriction. All applicants also waive all intellectual property rights in the translation, if any.
Please apply only if you are available immediately. This job may take one to three hours over one or more sessions. The winning service provider will need to execute an non-disclosure/confidentiality agreement before beginning work.
