Male American YouTube Narrator Needed for Large True Crime Channel (No AI Voices)

Job ID: 40599491

Budget: $30 – $250 CAD

We are looking for an experienced American voice actor/narrator to become the long-term voice of one of YouTube's largest true crime and mystery channels.

This position is for a human narrator only. AI-generated voices, AI voice cloning, or synthetic narration will not be considered.

Our videos cover true crime, unsolved mysteries, disappearances, and other documentary-style stories. We need someone who can tell these stories in a compelling, natural, and respectful way while keeping viewers engaged from beginning to end.

Human voice only (no AI voices or voice cloning)

Professional-quality microphone and quiet recording environment

Comfortable narrating long-form videos (typically 20–35 minutes)

Must be able to provide same-day turnaround for most scripts

Preferred Experience

A brief introduction about your narration experience

We are looking for someone interested in a long-term partnership with consistent weekly work. If you have a professional American voice, excellent storytelling skills, and can consistently deliver high-quality recordings on the same day, we'd love to hear from you.

Acceptance criteria
• Final file meets the stated technical specs.
• Tone matches the storytelling brief—warm, engaging, slightly cinematic.
• All requested pickups delivered within 24 hours of notes.

If you have a home studio, experience with long-form voice-over, and a reel that shows you can hold an audience’s attention, I’d love to hear a short sample of you narrating 60 seconds of any documentary text.
