eQOURSE is recruiting native and highly fluent Spanish, French, and German speakers for a remote conversational voice data collection project.

Selected participants will be paired with another approved speaker of the same language to record natural, unscripted conversations on everyday topics such as daily life, education, entertainment, technology, travel, hobbies, career, and future plans.

This is not a commercial voice-over, dubbing, or script-reading assignment. The objective is to capture authentic, spontaneous conversations that reflect normal day-to-day communication.

• Use earphones or headphones to prevent the other participant's voice from being captured.

• Avoid discussing sensitive, offensive, political, or personally identifying topics.
• Follow participant ID, topic code, and file-naming conventions accurately.
• Upload original, unedited audio files before the specified deadline.
