About the Channel
Hey there! Thanks for checking out our post.
We run multiple YouTube channels and are launching a new one that focuses on animated villains and storytelling breakdowns — exploring what makes these characters work so well.
The style is smart, entertaining, and conversational — similar to popular essay-style commentary channels — but with our own creative voice.
Each script should read like a video essay: witty, engaging, emotionally aware, and educational. The tone should feel human — not robotic, not dark, and definitely not AI-generated.
What We’re Looking For
We’re searching for a writer who:
This is the imitation channel - (link removed)
Has experience writing YouTube scripts or essays with a natural, conversational voice.
Understands storytelling, character motivation, and animation analysis.
Writes original, human-made content — absolutely no AI-written or AI-assisted scripts.
Delivers consistent quality and meets deadlines.
If you enjoy analysing Pixar, Disney, or DreamWorks characters and can explain storytelling with humour and insight, this is for you.
How It Works
We’ll provide you with character ideas, notes, and structure guidelines.
Your job: turn those into a 2,000–2,500-word script that flows naturally, educates, and entertains.
To Apply
Please include the following:
A short intro about you and your experience.
Start your proposal with the word “Velvet” to confirm you’ve read everything carefully.
