About

I’m Dominic Schnyder, a Swiss audio professional focused on voice recording and coaching for Text-to-Speech. I’ve recorded close to 100 TTS voices in 40+ languages (unit selection TTS as well as AI) for clients such as Apple (Siri), Volkswagen and Deutsche Telekom. I also contribute by creating efficient post-processing routines for TTS data sets and by verifying transcripts for ASR training material and NLU labeling projects.

I am passionate about building robust audio workflows and leading transcription verification projects with external annotators. My background as a Senior Sound Engineer at Telepathy Labs and other studios includes recording direction, post-production, and shaping studio processes to improve efficiency and quality.
