Folks,

There is an opportunity for Swahili native speakers who live in the Massachusetts area, for a Swahili language recording project.

The voice will be used in programs that teach people how to learn to speak foreign languages.

Candidates should not have lived away from Africa for more than around 8 years. Speakers will need to come to the studio in Concord (Mass.) about 8 times for recording sessions. The recording sessions last about 2.5 hours each. Depending on speakers' individual schedules, recording sessions will most likely be in the evening hours. The sessions will be taking place this fall, approximately July and August. Pay is $30 / hr. The MBTA commuter rail goes to Concord from North Station, Porter, and Waltham.

But first things first -- All qualified candidates for auditions. Auditions are here in Concord, last less than one hour, and are not paid. Any number of people may audition. After auditions are complete, we will choose two men and one woman for the job. The audition is like a job interview for your voice where you simply read the Swahili script aloud and will be recorded it for judges to decide. We choose the ones with the best voices.

Auditions are going on now.
