Explore audio recording volunteer opportunities and related paid work involving sound, voice and music production. Projects may look for people to record spoken texts, assist with sound during film productions, support music recording or help document interviews and community stories.
Some positions can be completed remotely, while others require specific equipment, technical skills or attendance at a recording studio or filming location.
What is audio recording? 🎙️
Audio recording is the process of capturing and storing sound, including speech, music, interviews, natural sounds and audio for films or other productions. Recording work may involve microphones, portable recorders, sound interfaces and editing software. The required skills depend on the type of project and how the recordings will be used.
Recording and sound production roles
Opportunities may involve voice-over work, recording audiobooks, capturing sound for documentaries, helping in music studios or assisting with community audio projects. Some organisations also seek volunteers to record oral histories or prepare accessible audio materials.
If you are more interested in making videos, browse our Filmmaking section. Recording and filmmaking can overlap, particularly when a production needs someone to capture dialogue or location sound.
How to use this page
Check the publication date and confirm current availability, actual recording tasks, experience required, equipment, working hours and any payment or exchange conditions. For opportunities abroad, also check accommodation, meals, insurance and visa requirements.
Before recording interviews, conversations or personal stories, clarify consent, privacy, ownership of the recordings and how the material may be published or reused. This is particularly important when working with children or people in vulnerable situations.
