Freelance editor, YouTube documentary series (5-7 min). You get clean narration audio, a numbered shot sheet, pre-graded visuals, and a score cut to our arc. Job: narration-led rough cut, burned-in captions, light audio leveling, spot-fix color only if a shot looks off, adjust duration for pacing -- content/order locked. Cut on emotional beats, vary rhythm, use real silence. ~2 wks post-publish, check retention graph, share pacing notes. One revision included. Share samples, turnaround, rate.

Looking for: strong sense of rhythm and restraint, comfort scoring to picture, attention to detail. Please share 1-2 samples of narration-driven work, your turnaround per episode, and your rate.  Retention-informed pacing.— reviewing YouTube Studio's audience-retention graph and adjusting pacing on future cuts in response, not just cutting to a spec and moving on. This should be a feedback loop, not a one-time task.

Every AI-narrated Bible channel out there currently looks and sounds the same, and we want to break that mold — our narrator already reads edgier than the norm and I believe our shots feel different too. We want to lean into that on purpose without losing any retention structure. I’m also sending over a recorded script and some shots for your review.
