Long-Term Audio Storytelling Producer | Narrator + Audio Production for Weekly Story Series

ABOUT THE PROJECT I'm building a long-term English storytelling brand focused on bringing timeless stories to life for modern audiences. Our content includes: 1. Modern adaptations of public-domain classics 2. Historical stories 3. Ancient texts (where legally appropriate) 4. Original fiction and novels This is not a one-time audiobook project. I'm looking for a long-term production partner for weekly releases throughout the year. WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR Ideally, I'd like to work with an individual or small team that can handle most (or all) of the following: 1. Professional English narration 2. Audio editing and mastering 3. Background music 4. Sound effects 5. Mixing for an immersive listening experience 6. Simple YouTube-ready video (static artwork is fine) 7. Optional: 2–3 Shorts from each episode If you don't provide every service, please clearly mention which parts you handle. MY WORKFLOW I will provide: 1. Final script 2. Story direction 3. Tone and narration notes 4. Episode title 5. Thumbnail concept (if needed) Your responsibility is to transform the script into a polished, professional production. I prefer a collaborator who communicates well, welcomes feedback, and enjoys building something long-term. STYLE The goal is not dramatic overacting. Think: Cinematic Emotional Natural Easy to listen to Suitable for podcasts, YouTube, and audiostories If you have experience with storytelling, audiobooks, podcasts, documentaries, or cinematic narration, I'd love to hear from you. TRIAL PROJECT We'll begin with one paid pilot episode (approximately 20–30 minutes). If we're a good fit, the goal is an ongoing partnership producing weekly episodes throughout the year. BUDGET This is a long-term project, so quality and reliability are more important than the lowest price. For the initial paid pilot episode (approximately 20–30 minutes), my expected budget is US$100–250, depending on the scope of services provided. If you're handling narration, audio editing, music, sound design, mastering, and delivering a YouTube-ready final product, I'm happy to pay at the higher end of that range—or more for exceptional quality. WHEN APPLYING Please include: 1. Samples of narration. 2. Samples with background music and sound design (if available). 3. Tell me exactly which parts of the production you handle. 4. Your turnaround time for a 20–30 minute episode. 5. Your pricing for: Narration only Complete production Shorts (if offered) Bonus if you've worked on audiobooks, podcasts, historical storytelling, or fiction. I'm looking for quality, reliability, and someone excited to build a premium storytelling brand together over the long term.
