Long-Term Narrators for a Reddit Story Confessions YouTube Channel (Male + Female, Paid)
Project Overview
A new faceless YouTube channel of first-person confessions. Each video is one 15–20 minute story: someone finally telling the secret they kept for decades. Stories are adapted from Reddit into original scripts (names and details changed), with slow, cinematic, 16mm-style visuals. No gameplay backgrounds, no text-to-speech. The narrator is the show, and we're looking for two long-term voices viewers will come to recognize.
The sound: picture someone at a kitchen table at 2 a.m., finally telling the truth. Calm, slow, close to the mic. Think memoir audiobook, not movie trailer or YouTube hype voice.
Two roles: a Lead Male Narrator (sounds 50–70) and a Lead Female Narrator (sounds 35–65). Each one narrates the stories told from their character's point of view. Each role has its own audition script.
Schedule: we publish 3 videos a week. Expect about 1–2 scripts a week per narrator to start, each due within 48 hours. Scripts arrive split into PARTS, with pronunciation notes.
Content note: mature themes (family secrets, betrayal, guilt, grief), always told without graphic detail. Strong profanity is bleeped. If you'd rather not voice dark material, this one isn't for you.
How we choose:
1) Audition with your role's script: one take, about 75 seconds, ending with 5 seconds of room tone.
2) Shortlisted narrators record one real script as a paid trial, at the full rate.
3) We choose the best fit for each role and work together long-term.
Pay & terms: $30 per script up to 2,500 words, $35 up to 3,000 words, $40 up to 3,500 words. Paid every Friday via PayPal or Wise for work approved that week. One round of pickups for misreads is included; if we change a script after you record it, the re-record is paid. Recordings are used in our YouTube videos (and Shorts cut from them) and in promoting them, worldwide with no time limit. You get credit in every video description if you want it.
Human voices only. AI-generated or cloned voices will be disqualified, and we will never use your voice to train AI.
We listen to every audition, and we'll message everyone we shortlist within a few days of the deadline.
Voice Actor
Lead role: the voice of every male-POV story. Fathers, husbands, brothers and sons confessing something they did years or decades ago. About 1–2 scripts a week to start, each 15–20 minutes of finished audio.
Voice: sounds 50–70. Warm, weathered, low-to-mid register, unhurried. Natural American accent (General American or a light regional accent). Believable saying "I'm seventy years old now."
Delivery: intimate and restrained, like telling one person the truth at 2 a.m. About 145–155 words per minute, with real pauses before reveals. No announcer read, no trailer voice, no over-acting. The story carries the drama.
Deliverables: within 48 hours of receiving the script. WAV, 48 kHz, 24-bit, mono, one file per PART of the script. Dry: no music, reverb or heavy processing (light noise cleanup only). Peaks around -3 dB. Quiet, treated room with no hum, echo or mouth clicks.
AUDITION SCRIPT: record all of it in one take (about 75 seconds)
Direction: close to the mic, quiet and conversational, as if you're telling one person. Take a real beat at each (pause). No edits, music or effects. Leave 5 seconds of silence at the end so we can hear your room.
My brother spent eleven months in juvenile detention for a fire he didn't set. I know he didn't set it... because I did.
(pause)
I was fourteen. He was sixteen. And when the sheriff asked which one of us struck the match, I looked at the floor and let him answer.
This is my confession.
I want to tell you he forgave me. It would make this easier to say. But he never knew. Forty-three years, and he never knew. He came home thinner. Quieter. He stopped calling me by my nickname, and I never asked him why.
At his wedding, I gave the toast. I told a room full of people he was the bravest man I'd ever known... and I meant every word. That's the part that still keeps me up at night.
Last spring, he called me from the hospital. He said there was something he needed to tell me, before it was too late.
(two-second pause)
He already knew.

Voice Actor
Lead role: the voice of every female-POV story. Mothers, wives, sisters and daughters telling the secret they kept for years. About 1–2 scripts a week to start, each 15–20 minutes of finished audio.
Voice: sounds 35–65. Warm, grounded, mid-to-low register, steady. Natural American accent (General American or a light regional accent). Believable as a woman in her forties or in her sixties looking back.
Delivery: intimate and honest, like telling one person the truth at 2 a.m. Quiet strength over drama: the emotion sits under the words, not on top of them. About 145–155 words per minute, with real pauses before reveals. No announcer read, no over-acting.
Deliverables: within 48 hours of receiving the script. WAV, 48 kHz, 24-bit, mono, one file per PART of the script. Dry: no music, reverb or heavy processing (light noise cleanup only). Peaks around -3 dB. Quiet, treated room with no hum, echo or mouth clicks.

Every Mother's Day for thirty-one years, I've signed a card to a woman who didn't give birth to me. She has no idea I know.
(pause)
I was nineteen when I found the letters. I never told her. And I never told my father.
This is my confession.
They were in a shoebox in the garage, under the Christmas lights. Twelve letters from the same hospital, all addressed to my father. The first one was dated two weeks before I was born.
I read every one of them sitting on that cold concrete floor. Then I put them back exactly the way I found them... lights on top, lid taped shut... and I went inside and helped her make dinner.
I told myself keeping that secret was the kindest thing I'd ever done.
(two-second pause)
Then last November, a woman I'd never met knocked on my door. And she had my eyes.
