MALE Japanese YouTube Localizer (Translation + Voice Over + Simple Editing)

Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for someone who can help us localize our YouTube videos into Japanese. The workflow is very simple: * Translate our English scripts into natural Japanese (male speaker!) * Record the Japanese voice over * Replace the English voice over with the Japanese one and sync it properly * Translate the text on the thumbnail (the thumbnail files will be provided in Google Drive) * Upload the complete video to our Japanese YouTube channel with the translated title, description, and thumbnail Important: This is NOT advanced editing work. The video is already completely finished. We basically want to hand you the finished English video and materials, and you take care of the entire Japanese localization and upload from there. Our videos are mainly animated history/documentary style videos, and sometimes include conversations between characters (2–3 people). So it’s important that you can make the dialogue sound natural and give different characters slightly different tones/energy when needed. We are looking for someone who: * Speaks fluent/native Japanese * Has a good microphone and clear voice * Can translate naturally (not robotic/literal translations) * Is reliable and communicates well * Can work long-term with us (possibility of sharing channel profits in the future) If interested, please send: * A short voice audio in Japanese * Examples of previous work (if you have any) * Your rate per minute/video We want to pay $3 per finished editing minute, including translation, voice over, editing, syncing, thumbnail translation, uploading, and everything in between. Start the chat with “HISTORY” so I know you’ve read everything.
