Project Description:
Native English Speakers only please. Must have strong written - especially humorous writing - skills (no grammar or spelling errors).
--
I need a person to write 5 Voice-Over Scripts for use in video tutorials.
--
- The content for the tutorials is based on a book. The book itself is approximately ~270 pages and contains numerous chapters.
- The voice-over scripts will be converted to an animated video. Each video tutorial is instructional. The tone for the tutorials is funny, humorous, so you must have a good sense of humor in crafting these voice over scripts.
- The voice over script must be original and can not contain any verbiage from the book. The book is just used as a guideline to explain the key points.
- You must be able to work fast and you must be available on skype to enable me to check on your progress. You must also be ready to take feedback to make any changes to improve the tutorials. So you should be flexible and understand the iterative nature of creating the best tutorial scripts.
- Your bid is to create 5 tutorial scripts based on the book (I estimate around 5 video tutorials each lasting 5-7 minutes each (again that's just an estimate and could be different based on how you combine the content)). I may take out specific parts or chapters that may not be needed or are simply not interesting. So we need to reduce it to the most essential. The key here is that each video must be actionable and provide immediate value to the listener, not just info, but things that they can do (or should stop doing) to get one step closer to the goal of licensing their music.

Here are some notes about how to create the scripts.
1) Shocking Headline
// In other words, what would be a headline for the video that would compel someone to view it?
2) Funny
// The tone of the tutorials is funny so that it is memorable. Also keep in mind how the video editor can make sure to capture this visually.
3) Structure
// As a quick recipe, here's a formula we should try to employ:
- 1) Tell me what you're going to tell me about. // "3 Keys to Success, bla bla"
- 2) Tell me about it. (sign-post as you go through each point so it's easy to follow)
- 3) Tell me what you just told me about in a quick summary with key learnings/takeaways, action items. The key here is that each video must be actionable and provide immediate value to the listener.
4) Length
// I'd like to make sure each video tutorial is around 5-7 minutes in length, so please make sure when you read the script we could hit that mark, including pauses. Again, please make sure to never use any parts verbatim from the book, but rewrite it in your original prose to make your point.

Hello andromeda - I've been writing professionally for over twenty years. My projects have included full length movie scripts, the scripts for a 24-episode animated video series, plays, novels, short stories, and scripts for explainer videos.
Please see attached private message for additional information regarding my bid.
Hello Andromeda,
I hope you're doing okay. I'd like to bid on your project. I've done similar work in the past, and can provide links to animated video voice overs that I've done in the past. I also write scripts for radio ads, which use the same skill set and structure ans animated video voice overs.
My first step would be to read through the book so I can get a feel of the content you require in your tutorials. In addition to script work, I contribute to six blogs and have had my work played on BBC, published in magazines, and sold on Amazon. I'm sure I can provide what you need, just let me know when.
I have a lot of experience in academic and creative writing, and have used script format for a few of my stories, because dialogue is my favorite part of writing. I am versatile, and respond well to constructive criticism.
Hello. I feel confident that I can excel at your project not only because I hold a Bachelor's Degree in English with a Minor in Creative Writing, but also because I just as passionate about public speaking. Dialogue is one of my strongest points when writing. I look forward to working with you.
I have 4+ years of copywriting experience, and know how to apply specific tricks and psychological tactics to capture your viewer's attention.
I can write a short sample for your project, and if you like it, we'll move forward with a deal.
Thanks,
Dylan
Novice writer gets gig!
Insomnia is how it all started, the long slippery slope to freelancer folly. Late one night I sat alone on my couch wondering just how I was going to pay my bills for the month. "I'm a relatively intelligent, fastidious, humorous, and all around swell guy. Now what are my marketable skills?" Low and behold from the depths of the world wide inter-webs came freelancer.com and it's promise of money in exchange for....just about anything.
Take a chance on me, you won't find an individual more dedicated to your success.
