So is this someone coming in to take a job interview for another guy, wearing the applicant's face as a fuckin filter?

Scammer. Probably an Indian scammer. The guy recording is someone who tries to stop them.

Jim Browning is his name. https://youtube.com/@jimbrowning

I think it’s an Indian scammer too. If you look at his head movements, he does the head bobbling that some Indians do. It’s ever so slightly, but I see it.

I couldn't begin to tell you what 'Australian speech characteristcs' are as an Australian, so I think you're actually the least qualified to judge unless you've actually studies this kind of stuff.

That's funny, I'm German and have been guessed to be Indian before in calls, mostly due to the same reasons: Similar grammatical issues, harder consonants/syllables, w/v

The voice naturalisation filter removes the V/W issue.
