Long-Term Voice Over Narrator for YouTube TV Storytelling Channels

Title: Long-Term Voice Over Narrator for YouTube TV Storytelling Channels ($1 per Minute, ~1,000 Minutes a Month)

About the work

I run a group of YouTube channels about TV shows; the largest has 55K subscribers. I’m now launching a network of single-show channels. Each one is dedicated to one big TV show (westerns, crime dramas, sci-fi), telling its characters’ stories, secrets and biggest moments.

The volume

About 1,000 finished minutes of narration a month, roughly 4 hours of finished audio a week.

Scripts run 15 to 45 minutes each, across several channels.

Steady, ongoing work for the right person.

Pay

$1 per minute, counted on the finished audio you deliver.

At full volume that’s about $1,000 a month.

Paid per delivered script.

The voice I’m looking for

A natural storyteller. Someone telling a great story to a friend, not reading at an audience.

Conversational. Talking to one person, not a stadium.

Adapts the tone to the show. Unhurried and weathered for a western, tight and serious for a crime drama, lighter for sci-fi.

Dry humor, played straight. The scripts have wry asides. Land them without winking.

Knows when to go quiet. When a character dies, say it plainly and let it sit.

Reads rhythm. Short sentences. Fragments. Then a longer line that lands the point.

Stamina and consistency. The same voice, energy and sound from minute 1 to minute 45, and from week 1 to week 20.

What this is not

Not trailer voice, not hype (“INSANE”, “MIND-BLOWING”), not documentary gravitas.

Not character impressions or caricature accents.

Requirements

Native American English.

A treated recording space and a decent mic.

Delivery as edited WAV, 48 kHz / 24-bit: mouth clicks and long breaths removed, levels consistent from file to file.

Turnaround of 3 to 5 days per script. Reasonable pickups included, and I batch them.

Some stories include violence and crime. That’s the genre.

How to apply (do both)

Send a storytelling, audiobook or narration demo. No commercial reels.

Record both test paragraphs below in one file. A raw phone recording is fine; I’m judging the read, not the mic.

Test 1 (western):

Out in Montana there’s a ranch the size of Rhode Island, and one family has held it for more than a hundred years. They will do anything to keep it. And I mean anything. The Duttons don’t call the police. They call Rip. Work that land long enough, owe that family enough, and they burn a brand into your chest. You wear it for life. Some men wear it with pride. Some wear it because the other choice is a long ride to the train station. Nobody comes back from the train station.

Test 2 (crime drama):

Raymond Reddington is the most wanted man in the world, and one morning he walks into FBI headquarters and gives himself up. Just like that. He has one condition. He will only talk to Elizabeth Keen, a profiler on her very first day. Nobody knows why. She doesn’t know why. And for the next ten seasons, that one question is going to hold the whole show together.

In your message, tell me how many finished minutes a week you can realistically deliver, and which of these you’d voice best: a western, a crime drama or a sci-fi show.
