About the role
You are the on-camera host for one of our movie brands. Our Creative Lead writes the scripts. You deliver them so the audience feels the emotion in the writing, and believes the words are yours.
This is not a reading job. We do not want a host who stares at the screen and recites the text. We want someone who already loves movies enough to make a written script sound like their own thoughts.
You already spend your free time on movies. This is not a job you picked at random. You can tell what a writer wants the audience to feel, and you can put that feeling into your voice and face. When you speak from a script, people do not think you are reading.
You record remotely, from your own space.
About us
NIA Production is a YouTube conglomerate. We own, build, and operate our own channels in-house. Every channel we run is ours.
We are 90+ people strong and growing rapidly. Most of our team is hybrid and we hire globally. We move fast. We care about results, and we hire people who think the same way.
Responsibilities
- Prepare the script. Read it until you understand the idea and the feeling, before you record.
- Deliver it as if it is yours. The audience should feel you thought of this and mean every word.
- Match the writing. The feeling in the script should come through in your voice and face.
- Record clean takes. Meet our picture and sound standard, and record again when the delivery misses.
- Work with notes. Take direction from the Creative Lead and improve the next take.
Requirements
- When you talk to camera, the words sound like yours.
- You care about movies enough that it shows, without being forced.
- A quiet recording space, with clear picture and sound.
Nice to have
- Experience hosting on YouTube, in a podcast, or in similar work.
- Experience with a teleprompter. We can teach this.
What success looks like
- It does not sound read. Viewers feel you own the words and came up with the idea.
- The feeling in the script comes through. Your delivery matches what the Creative Lead wrote.
- The takes are usable. We can use your recording without fighting the performance.
What's in it for you
- Work in a niche you already love. Movies are the job.
- Strong writing to perform. The Creative Lead writes the script. You make it feel like your own.
- Pay for finished work: $5 to $10 USD per minute of final recording.
- A path to full-time. Once the brand has grown enough, this can become a full-time role with us.
