[$3000/m] Sound Designer for Sci-Fi Audiobook YouTube Channel
Xiaoxing Zhao for Sound Designer / Audio Engineer
Overview:
We’re looking for a Sound Designer to elevate the audio experience of our sci-fi story videos. Your role will be to craft immersive soundscapes that enhance the storytelling—adding depth, emotion, and atmosphere through sound effects, ambient layers, and music. This is a full-time, ongoing role with steady work (2 videos per day).
Add sound effects (lasers, spaceships, mechanical hums, ambient tones, etc.) to accompany and enhance the story’s visuals and narration.
Integrate background music that matches each scene’s tone—tense, emotional, or awe-inspiring—while remaining subtle and unobtrusive.
Polish narrator audio: clean, equalize, and enhance vocal clarity and warmth; apply light mastering for a professional final mix.
Ensure smooth transitions between music, effects, and dialogue.
Maintain precise timing so each sound cue supports the narrative flow.
Balance all elements—voice, effects, and music—for a cohesive, cinematic sound mix.
Collaborate with editors and producers to meet daily upload goals and maintain consistent quality.
Proven experience in sound design, audio post-production, or mixing/mastering (portfolio or demo reel required).
Proficiency with DAWs such as Adobe Audition, Reaper, Logic Pro, or similar.
Strong understanding of subtle audio storytelling—knowing when to add sound and when silence enhances impact.
Ability to work efficiently on tight daily deadlines while maintaining quality.
Interest in sci-fi and narrative-driven audio projects.
Reliable communication and organized file management for a fast-paced production workflow.
Familiarity with YouTube content production or audiobook-style storytelling.
Experience with spatial audio mixing or immersive stereo imaging.
A creative ear for building worlds through sound.
Full-time position; expectation: 2 completed videos per day.
Long-term, consistent work pipeline.
Compensation based on experience and output quality.
This role is ideal for someone who loves crafting soundscapes that pull audiences into the world of the story—subtle, deliberate, and emotionally resonant audio that enhances every moment.
