I run YouTube channels in the esoteric/spiritual niche — consciousness, manifestation, ancient wisdom, Hermetic philosophy, and related themes. I'm scaling production and looking to add more voice-over talent to handle growing volume across multiple channels.
This is a steady, predictable gig, not a one-off:
– 10 videos per month
– Each video is 35-45 minutes / ~5,500-6,000 words
– $50 per finished video ($500/month consistent income)
– Weekly batching: I deliver 2-3 scripts at once, you return audio when comfortable
– Minimum 6-month commitment expected from both sides
Native or near-native English required — the voice must sound natural to a US/UK audience.
The voice I'm looking for:
– Deep, contemplative, weighty — like someone thinking out loud about something that matters
– Documentary-style narration, slightly slower and pitched a touch darker
– Unhurried pace (~120-140 wpm), comfortable with long-form
– Reference: ElevenLabs Adam on the "Dark Thought" preset
– NOT commercial/hype/radio/meditation-guide energy
Both male and female narrators welcome — the register matters more than gender.
Technical requirements:
– Treated home studio (no echo, no background noise, no HVAC hum)
– Delivery: WAV 44.1kHz or 320kbps MP3
– Fully cleaned audio: noise reduction, de-clicking, consistent levels, one file per script
– Ability to sustainably handle ~100 minutes of finished narration per week
What you get from me:
– Predictable weekly volume and weekly payment
– Clear, well-formatted scripts delivered on a schedule
– Creative input welcome — your voice becomes part of the channel's identity
– Fast feedback, no scope creep, no last-minute panic
– Rate increase after 3 months if we're a good fit
How to apply:
1. Link to a narration sample (audiobook, documentary, or spiritual content preferred)
2. Confirm you can realistically sustain 10 videos/month at $50 each long-term
3. Describe your home studio (mic, room treatment, DAW)
4. Your typical turnaround for a 40-minute script
5. Start your proposal with the word "resonance" so I know you read this
Shortlisted applicants will receive a paid 60-second test ($5 bonus for your time). Final pick gets one full paid video as a probation project before we commit to the ongoing arrangement.
Generic copy-paste proposals will be ignored. I'm hiring a partner, not a gig worker.
