FAQ
Deepgram primarily partners with enterprise companies and corporate clients to provide high-quality business solutions, such as customer service automation, accessibility tools, and productivity software. Our focus on these professional markets means that your voice data will power practical, high-value technology solutions.
Never. We take data privacy and intellectual property protection incredibly seriously. Your name, location, and personal details will never be publicly disclosed or attached to the synthetic model.
Participation requires a perpetual rights agreement, which ensures system stability for the organizations utilizing our technology. Please note that we do not request exclusivity; you retain the right to use your voice for any other projects or opportunities.
If your audition is accepted, you will be asked to record approximately three hours of audio. We will provide you with clear, easy-to-follow scripts and situational prompts designed to capture a natural range of human expression. We will guide you through every step of the setup and recording process.
Not at all! We are looking for real, everyday people with a wide variety of natural languages, accents, and dialects. While professional talent is welcome to apply, your natural voice—just as you speak every day—is exactly what we need to make AI sound more human and natural.
During the application process, we will ask you a few brief questions about your recording environment and current gear to establish a technical baseline. If your voice is a great match for our library, our data operations team will work closely with you to optimize your setup and ensure we capture the best possible audio quality.
Compensation varies based on several factors, including your background, unique language skills, specific vocal characteristics, and how well your submission aligns with our current product requirements. Specific payment offers and terms will be clearly outlined in your individual offer sheet after your audition is reviewed.
Absolutely. Deepgram operates with the highest standards of professional integrity. We secure explicit, fully consensual contractual rights for the voice data we utilize for AI training and voice cloning, ensuring that all participants are fully aligned legally before any work begins.
After submitting your initial audition and equipment details, you will be granted access to a personal status page. There, you can check whether your application is under review, see if our team requires additional information, or view your formal offer sheet and payment setup instructions once approved.
