Engaging News Presenter for YouTube-Style Explainer Videos (U.S. & Global Focus) - Contract to Hire
We?re looking for a talented and engaging on-camera presenter, spokesperson, or UGC actor with fluent, neutral or American English pronunciation to be the face of our documentary-style and global news explainer videos.
This is a long-term collaboration for the right person, with scripts ranging from a few hundred words to full-length narrations depending on the topic.
What You?ll Be Doing:
- Present news-style videos on green screen (we?ll add footage in post).
- Bring real-world events and global issues to life using a natural, conversational tone.
- Ask questions and explain topics as a relatable presenter would; think ?approachable reporter?, not robotic voiceover.
- Use facial expressions, varied tonalities, and hand gestures to keep the viewer engaged.
- Dress casually, maintain a well-groomed appearance, and deliver in a professional but accessible way.
Topics You'll Cover:
- Global current events
- Geopolitical trends
- U.S. politics and international relations (we give priority to topics related to the United States, given its global relevance)
You Are:
- Comfortable on camera and experienced in UGC, journalism, or news-style presentation
- Passionate about global affairs, politics, or storytelling
- Able to record in front of a green screen (or have a simple home studio setup)
- Reliable, collaborative, and interested in long-term work
How to Apply:
Start your message with the words ?long haul? to show you?ve read the brief. Then tell us why you?re a great fit for this project, i.e. what?s your motivation and interest in the topics we cover? Do share your portfolio and a sample video showcasing your presenter style.
