Sound designer for audio guide

It is necessary to create immersive audio accompaniment for an audio guide that will be part of the tour catalog in the mobile application.
The audio guide consists of approximately 5000 words and will be listened to by users during a real walk through the botanical garden, so the sound design must harmoniously blend with the real environment.

1. AI Voice Generation - optional

Requirements:

• Select an AI service for voice generation (for example, ElevenLabs or another with high-quality natural intonation) and propose 2–3 voice options for approval.

• Adjust: natural pauses, intonation, speech tempo, logical accents in the text

• Generate the final voiceover of the text.

This stage may or may not be included in the task depending on the agreement.

Possible collaboration options:

• We provide the ready voiceover, and the sound designer works only with the sound design.

• The sound designer takes on the voice generation (selecting the AI service, choosing the voice, adjusting intonation and pauses).

In case of voice generation:

• The AI service is paid for by us.

2. Sound Design of the Audio Guide

It is necessary to create sound design that includes:

• background atmosphere

• light musical accompaniment

• natural SFX (environmental sounds)

The goal is to create an immersive sense of presence.

Main Requirements for Sound Design

1. Naturalness
The sound must be soft, calm, and natural. No sharp effects, overly dramatic music, or sense of artificiality.

2. Immersiveness
Music and SFX should delicately enhance the atmosphere of the walk, without distracting from the voice and not competing with the narrative.

3. Harmony with the Real Environment
The sound design must organically blend with the real sounds of the botanical garden (birds, wind, leaves), creating a sense of a unified sound space.

4. Minimalism
The sound design should be restrained and unobtrusive: fewer elements are better, but with precise atmospheric effect.
