Seeking Female Swahili Speakers

I am seeking female native speakers of Swahili who live in the Massachusetts area, for a Swahili language recording project.

We make the Pimsleur programs, a unique way for people to learn to speak foreign languages. Click here for examples of the product. http://www.pimsleur.com.

Speakers will need to come to our 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 in August. Pay is $30 / hr. The MBTA commuter rail goes to Concord from North Station, Porter, and Waltham.

But first things first -- I welcome all qualified candidates for auditions. Auditions are here in Concord, last less than one hour, and are not paid. Any number of women may audition. After auditions are complete, we will choose one woman for the job. The audition is like a job interview for your voice where you simply read the Swahili script aloud and we record it for our judges. We choose the one with the best voice. (Auditions for male speakers are closed.)

Auditions are going on now.

Thank you kindly for your consideration.

Kazi New York kama unajua KiMatumbi!

Kutoka Craigslist.

I am making a film that incorporates the story of Kinjikitile "Bokero" Ngwale and the Maji Maji Rebellion in German East Africa during the turn of the century.

I am in need of a male to play the part of Bokero himself (voice only). The text that will need to be be read will be about 2 minutes in length, and will need to be translated from English. No prior acting or voice acting experience is necessary.

Ideally, I am looking for someone who can speak Matumbi, but someone who can speak Swahili or any other East African Bantu language with a Tanzanian or East African accent would work as well.

I am offering $30 compensation and will also provide credit in the film, a copy of the finished film, and a copy of your voice recording.

Recording can be done in person (either Union Square, Manhattan or Clinton Hill, Brooklyn) or over the internet - whichever is preferable for you.

If you are interested, please contact me with a voice sample and I will provide more details about the project.

Unaweza kumjibu kupita Craigslist!
