Experienced Audio Editor / Sound Designer Needed for Long-Term YouTube Channel

👋 Hello! We are looking for a professional Audio Editor / Sound Designer for our YouTube videos. 🚫 Important Note on Our Style: We do not use conventional music in our videos. Since our content is made for a broad audience with Islamic sensitivities, we avoid sounds that include obvious instruments, clearly feel like music, or may be unsuitable for some of our viewers. For this reason, we are looking for someone who can professionally use SFX, foley, ambience, transition sounds, impacts/risers/whooshes, nasheeds, and sound layers that do not clearly feel like music throughout our videos. 🌍 What Do We Mean by SFX? By SFX, we do not only mean dramatic effects. We mean all sound details that make the viewer feel the world shown on screen! If someone is walking, there should be footsteps that match the environment. If an object moves, we should hear that movement. If the scene includes a crowd, city, nature, wind, or any other atmosphere, the appropriate ambience and foley sounds should support it. In short, this role includes all necessary sound layers that strengthen the physical reality and emotional impact of the visuals. 📁 Delivery Format The final delivery must be an Adobe Premiere Pro project. You may use other software during your own workflow, but the final file delivered to us must be a Premiere Pro project that our team can open and continue editing. 🔗 Reference / Example Links The following examples will be shared to better explain the sound style and atmosphere we are looking for: Example 1 (full nasheed, no music) https://youtube.com/playlist?list_-vbZrZ98nKiiNQQCvGBn8OEf6ujk-sDUpg&si=TjLXBsWnsdGTnAyn Example 2 (includes music) https://youtu.be/7l0uiGr50nA?si=WsoR2LlzKeBJ9aYs Example 3 (includes music) https://youtu.be/FdZ9Xzjpo1s?si=Q9GE9ODOpInV3xen Example 4 (includes music) https://youtu.be/4xKwzcm1Ulc?si=_-vbZrZ98nKiiNQQ 💡 Note: Some of the reference videos we shared may clearly include music. These videos are not provided as examples to copy exactly, but only to give an idea of the overall emotion, pacing, sound design approach, atmosphere, and scene-to-sound alignment we are looking for. In our videos, clear music, obvious instrumentation, or sounds that can be perceived as music should not be used. 🔊 What Will This Role Do? 🎬 Design the sound according to the emotional flow of the video. 🍃 Add SFX, foley, and ambience that make the viewer feel the environment, movement, and physical actions shown on screen. ⚡ Use transition sounds, ambience, impacts, risers, and similar effects to strengthen the storytelling. 🎙️ Place suitable nasheeds or vocal-based sounds where appropriate. 🔇 Avoid sounds that clearly feel like instruments or conventional music. 🧩 Build a sound design that works with the visuals, narration, edit rhythm, and emotional transitions. 🎚️ Balance the voice-over, effects, and background layers properly. 📂 Deliver the final work as an Adobe Premiere Pro project. 🔄 Make revisions when needed. 👤 Who We Are Looking For ✔️ Experienced in video audio editing, foley, or sound design. ✔️ Able to use SFX, foley, and ambience professionally without overdoing it. ✔️ Able to add emotion, depth, and pacing to a video without relying on music. ✔️ Able to understand and respect Islamic sensitivities. ✔️ Able to deliver an Adobe Premiere Pro project. ✔️ Experience with YouTube, documentary, narrative, religious content, or educational content is a huge plus! ✔️ Careful about copyright and usage rights for sound assets. ✔️ Able to provide a portfolio or previous work samples. 🌍 About Us | Towards Eternity 🔹 Who We Are Towards Eternity is a globally recognized Islamic media association with over a decade of impactful work.
