Long-Term Voice-Over Narrator for YouTube Channels — $500/month

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.
