Job Description

About us

Our mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language. We begin by teaching the next billion people English, Spanish, and French.

English is the global language of business, culture, and communication, and over 1.5 billion people around the world are actively trying to learn right now. Others dream of communicating with the half-billion native Spanish speakers across the globe. The problem is that it's nearly impossible to learn to  speak a language without constant access to a speaking partner. Grammar and vocab apps don't really help – you need to actually  converse with someone.

Speak is on a journey to fix this. We're creating an AI-powered experience that replicates the flow of a conversation,  without needing a human on the other end. The goal is to make it radically more accessible to be able to have conversations in a foreign language and eventually help hundreds of millions of people gain fluency who otherwise wouldn't be able to.

We started on this journey over five years ago and we've still got a long ways to go. We're thoughtfully adding new team members only when we think they can truly play a big role in our mission.

Speak launched first in South Korea where we have quickly grown to become the top grossing education app in the country. We have now delivered this winning product to more than 30 countries globally and are continuing to expand to more markets in the coming months. The company is well funded, raising a recent Series B backed by investors like OpenAI, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, Lachy Groom, Josh Buckley, and others. We’re a team of 75 based primarily in SF, Seoul, Tokyo, and Ljubljana.

About this role

We are seeking actors to appear in our app-based video lessons as language teachers (watch all Example Videos below). In these video lessons, you’ll be seated behind a table facing a camera and deliver pre-written scripts explaining language concepts and phrases for learners. While these lessons are not live, they are interactive.

Scripts also contain questions to the user and a variety of responses based on their performance. When a user goes through a video lesson, the video recording of your teaching will play, along with opportunities for the app user to practice the language you are teaching.

What you’ll be doing

  • Read scripts from the teleprompter in both Korean and English to teach English to Korean speakers.

  • Portray a professional in a different industry other than education who is excited that their friend has decided to learn a new language (think helpful, friendly vibes rather than a strict teacher vibe)

  • Example Video:

What we’re looking for

  • Native proficiency in both Korean and English

  • A neutral Seoul accent when speaking Korean

  • A neutral American accent when speaking English

  • Ability to read and act out scripts that teach English to speakers of Korean

  • Native Korean speakers and/or heritage Korean speakers

  • Strong sense of responsibility and professionalism

  • Bright and positive vibes

  • Ability to coordinate and take directions

  • Live in Los Angeles and have access to transportation

*_ Those who learned English in high school/college will not qualify _

[Preferred]

  • Experience working with a teleprompter

  • Experience in teaching a second language

  • Acting experience

  • A passion for language teaching/learning

Working Conditions

Speak offers competitive compensation based on skills and expertise, along with an environment that supports personal growth and concentration.

  • Contract Duration: project based (paid per project)

  • Rate: $65-$75/hr * depending on related experience

  • Working Hours: an average studio session lasts anywhere from 3 to 5 hours per day; studio days average about 2 to 3 days per project, not including zoom rehearsals

  • Work Model: in-person at our LA studio

Why work at Speak

  1. Join a fantastic, tight-knit team at the right time: we're growing very quickly, we've raised our Series B and an additional extension from some of the top investors in the valley, and we've achieved product-market fit in our initial markets. You'd join at a magical time when a single person could significantly change the course of the company.

  2. Do your life's work with people you’ll love working with: we care strongly about our craft and want every person at Speak to feel like they're growing every day. We believe in the idea that working with people you both enjoy and have respect for makes everything better. We hire thoughtfully and only work with people we admire deeply.

  3. Global in nature: We're live in over 40 countries and launching in a number of new markets soon. We have dedicated offices in San Francisco, Ljubljana, Seoul, and Tokyo, and you’ll have the opportunity to talk to users in each of these regions on a regular basis as well as travel.

  4. Impact people's lives in a major way: Learning a language is one of the single most life-changing skills one can learn, and right now 99% of people never achieve their goal because the process is broken. We’re helping millions of people achieve their goals and improve their lives.
