Needs to hire 20 Freelancers
Summary

We are seeking freelancers to play our short, fun, and addicting games. While you play, you must record your screen, with your microphone on, and provide commentary as you play. You can decide what type of commentary you want to do, but ideas can be: -playing it and teaching users how to play the game, reach higher levels, etc -reacting to your own gameplay -you can get creative. the main thing is to play the game, sound like you're having fun, and record your screen and add your commentary doing it. You do not need to show you face. If you're not comfortable doing commentary in English, then you can do your native language, just let us know what it is before you do it. These videos will be posted on social media, more specifically, on X/Twitter. You must also have a social media account where you can post it to so we can tag you and give the source URL. Ideally, you have an X/Twitter account, so that we can tag you and quote reply to your post. The second best would be Instagram or Facebook. The videos can be anywhere from a few short minutes to much longer if you get caught up playing the addicting games! Please bid your quote and how much time you plan to spend playing the game. We are looking for a bunch of freelancers, and the best ones will be invited back to keep on making more videos as we release more games. All you need is a stable internet connection and the ability to record your screen + use your microphone to add commentary. See below for the instructions on how you can do it based on your device. iPhone (iOS) 1. Add Screen Recording to Control Center — Go to Settings → Control Center → tap the + next to Screen Recording (if it's not already there). 2. Start recording with mic — Open Control Center, then long-press the Screen Record button (circle icon). You'll see a microphone option — tap it to turn it On (it turns red). Then tap "Start Recording." 3. Stop recording — Tap the red status bar at the top and confirm, or go back to Control Center and tap the button again. The video saves to your Photos app. The mic picks up your voice through the phone's built-in microphone, so speak clearly and minimize background noise. Android The steps vary slightly by brand, but the general flow is: 1. Open Quick Settings — Swipe down from the top of the screen (sometimes twice) to reveal the full Quick Settings panel. 2. Find Screen Recorder — Look for a "Screen Recorder" tile. If it's not visible, tap the pencil/edit icon to add it. 3. Configure audio — When you tap Screen Recorder, most Android versions (10+) will show a prompt asking what audio to record. Choose "Microphone" or "Device audio + Microphone" depending on what you want. 4. Stop recording — Tap the notification in the notification bar or the stop button in the floating toolbar. The video saves to your Gallery. Samsung, Pixel, and other brands may have slightly different UI, but the options are usually the same. Tips for Good Commentary -Use earbuds/headphones with a mic — reduces echo and improves audio quality significantly. -"Device audio + Microphone" (if available) lets viewers hear both the game sounds and your voice simultaneously. -Find a quiet space — phone mics are sensitive and will pick up room noise.
