Hi!
Okay, straight up, not to waste anyone's time: this is a zero-budget hobby project. I'm a freelancer myself so I know how valuable time is, and I completely get that an unpaid project isn't going to be for everyone. But this is a genuine hobby I really want to make work, one I plan to put real long-term effort into, so if you're looking to build on-camera experience or add something to your showreel, I hope this might be something interesting.
I'm in my 30s and have previously run a pretty successful YouTube channel for 4 years. I recently realised how much I actually miss making videos, so I'm starting a new channel and hoping to find someone to be the onscreen personality, because I'm way more of a behind the scenes person 🙃
I'm looking for someone to be the face and voice of short videos, around 5 to 10 minutes, mixing mini info-dumps with puzzles and IQ-style questions. Rather than being you, you'd play a 'character' whose channel it is. She's dry, sharp, a bit sassy. No fake enthusiasm, definitely not an influencer, just someone who talks like she's actually having a conversation. There's real room to develop her and make her yours.
I've built this around a character for two reasons: if circumstances change she can live on, and honestly the internet has too many weirdos, I'd never want to put anyone in a bad situation.
I'd love this to be a proper collaboration where you can shape the character, format, and help build what this becomes, but if you'd prefer to just perform scripts as written that's totally fine too. Either way, a genuine partnership.
I'm in Hertfordshire, so local(ish) would be cool so there's a chance we could film together in person, but if not, and you're happy to, then filming yourself is absolutely no problem. Obviously we'd chat first to get to know each other a bit and hopefully figure out if we actually click.
I'm not expecting overnight success. If this ever did take off, any revenue would unquestionably be shared. Realistically though, the road could be disheartening and even getting a handful of views is a challenge, so the main goal is just to make something we're genuinely proud of and have fun making.
If this has interested you at all, or you have any questions, please drop me a message :)
