You will get YouTube Script Analysis + Custom Script Formula
Project details
Most YouTube creators think their problem is thumbnails or posting frequency. Usually, it's retention — the invisible structure inside your videos that keeps viewers watching or lets them drift away.I'll audit your channel and videos to find exactly where viewers drop off and why. You'll get a detailed breakdown with specific, actionable fixes — not vague "improve your hook" advice. If you choose Audit + Script Formula, I'll also deliver a repeatable framework you can apply to every future video: cold opener templates, curiosity loop architecture, and mid-point retention mechanics tuned to your niche.This isn't theory from a YouTube course. I trained in scriptwriting for film and TV, spent 20+ years in documentary production, and built my own channel to 1.27M views with 43% retention on 20-minute content. I know why viewers leave, and I know how to stop it.

About Wayne
YouTube Retention Specialist | Documentary Editor | Script Formulas
Brighton, United Kingdom - 10:54 pm local time
I'm a documentary filmmaker and Creative Lead with 20+ years in factual storytelling. Seven months ago, I pivoted my own YouTube channel to long-form true crime documentary. The results: 1.27 million views, 140,000+ watch hours, 15,300 subscribers, up to 43% retention on 20-minute documentaries, and CTR consistently hitting 8-9% on top-performing videos.
I know exactly why viewers click away — and I know how to stop it.
Most YouTube creators hit a wall. Views plateau. Watch time sags. The algorithm stops pushing. They think the answer is better thumbnails or posting more often. Usually, it's not. The problem is almost always retention mechanics — the invisible architecture that keeps viewers watching. Cold opens that don't earn the first 30 seconds. No curiosity loops to pull people through. A saggy middle with no mid-point hook.
I audit channels and individual videos to find exactly where retention breaks down. Then I build a custom script formula you can apply to every video going forward — not generic advice, but a structured framework tuned to your subject matter, format, and audience. If you want, I'll edit the videos too. But the diagnosis comes first.
What I offer:
Retention Audits — I analyse your existing content to find where viewers drop and why. You get specific, actionable fixes, not vague advice.
Script Formula Development — A repeatable framework: cold opener templates, micro curiosity loops, mid-point retention spikes, and pacing architecture that eliminates sag.
Full Editorial & Post-Production — Broadcast-quality editing, sound design, motion graphics. Documentary and long-form is my home ground.
Thumbnail & Title Consultation — CTR analysis and specific recommendations as part of any audit.
I work best with creators who've plateaued and can't figure out why, documentary and long-form channels, and anyone tired of generic advice who wants structured solutions.
My background: I trained in scriptwriting for film and TV, and I've spent 20+ years in documentary and factual production — developing narrative frameworks, directing shoots, and leading editorial teams. My YouTube channel is where I test and refine everything I now offer to clients. This isn't theory from a course. It's craft, applied.
