We are looking for 5–10 people to record short, natural video messages for four different occasions: Birthday Wedding Graduation Anniversary Each selected freelancer will record 4 separate short videos — one for each occasion. You do not need to be a professional actor. We are mainly looking for people who can speak naturally and comfortably in front of a smartphone camera. Project Details You will receive 4 short scripts from us: Video 1 — Birthday Message Act as though you are wishing a friend or family member a happy birthday. Video 2 — Wedding Message Act as though you are a wedding guest leaving a personal message for the bride and groom. Video 3 — Graduation Message Act as though someone close to you has just graduated and you are congratulating them. Video 4 — Anniversary Message Act as though you are congratulating a couple on their wedding anniversary. Each video will be approximately 8–15 seconds long. Compensation $30 CAD total per freelancer This payment covers all 4 completed videos. We plan to hire approximately 5–10 different people for this project. What We Are Looking For The most important requirement is that the videos feel real and natural. We do NOT want the videos to feel like advertisements, commercials, or professional spokesperson videos. Imagine that someone simply handed you a phone and said: “Can you record a quick birthday message for my friend?” or: “Can you leave a message for the bride and groom?” Your reaction, voice, facial expressions, pauses, laughter, and gestures should feel genuine. Small imperfections are completely fine and can actually make the video feel more authentic. Example Acting Style For a birthday message, you might smile, laugh slightly, and speak like you are talking directly to someone you know. For a wedding message, you might become slightly emotional or give the couple some funny marriage advice. For a graduation message, you might sound excited and proud. For an anniversary message, you might give the couple a warm congratulations or some playful relationship advice. The exact scripts will be provided after hiring. Recording Requirements Please record 4 separate videos. Background Use a normal, realistic environment such as: Living room Kitchen Garden Patio Restaurant Event-style environment Simple outdoor location The location does not need to look like an actual wedding or birthday party. We want normal real-life environments. Important — Please Do Not Edit the Videos Please send us the raw recordings. Do not add: Music Captions Subtitles Logos Filters Beauty filters Transitions Special effects AI backgrounds Background replacement We will handle all editing ourselves. Natural Acting Is Very Important Please avoid sounding like you are reading a script. It is okay to: Pause naturally Smile before speaking Laugh Look away briefly Use your hands naturally Slightly change the wording if necessary to sound natural Have small imperfections The goal is to make each recording feel like a real message from a real person. Deliverables Each freelancer will provide: 1 Birthday video 1 Wedding video 1 Graduation video 1 Anniversary video Total: 4 short raw videos Each video should be approximately 8–15 seconds.

A GREAT PERSONAL VIDEO SHOULD FEEL LIKE A REAL MOMENT, NOT A SCRIPTED PERFORMANCE. I’ve created natural, authentic short-form videos designed to feel conversational and relatable, with genuine expressions, natural pacing and personality rather than a polished commercial style. I can record all four 8–15 second messages for the birthday, wedding, graduation and anniversary occasions, following your scripts while keeping the delivery relaxed and spontaneous. I’ll record each video separately in a natural environment using a smartphone, with no editing, filters, music, captions or effects, delivering clean raw footage ready for your team to use. Regards, Enrique

What stood out to me is that you specifically don't want polished UGC or spokesperson-style videos. The value here is authenticity. The small pauses, natural expressions, gestures, and slight imperfections are exactly what will make the recordings believable. I'm comfortable delivering the four videos as completely raw smartphone recordings, with no editing, music, captions, filters, effects, or background replacement. I'll follow each script while keeping the delivery conversational rather than sounding like I'm reading from a page. I'll also adapt my expression and tone to each occasion: warm and playful for the birthday, genuine and celebratory for the wedding, proud and excited for the graduation, and affectionate for the anniversary. I'll record each message in a natural everyday environment with clean lighting and clear audio. I can provide all 4 separate 8–15 second recordings as requested and keep the delivery straightforward for your team to edit. Would you prefer the messages to feel like they're coming from a younger friend/family member, or should I aim for a more general age-neutral style that can work for different audiences?
