3. Writing episode titles, show notes, clip titles, and descriptions, and creating thumbnails that fit each client's voice and goals.

*P.S. You'll work from detailed notes and established standards for each show, with room to take on more creative input over time as you learn each client's strategy and voice.

Skills Required:

• Excellent at editing dialogue in audio and video formats, for example:
  • Edit, mix, and master multi-track audio
  • Removing distractions (loud breaths, mouth noises, background noises, etc.)
  • Color grading to a consistent, natural look across multi-cam footage
  • Syncing audio to video and maintaining sync throughout an edit
  • Seamless cuts that keep the conversation flowing
  • Adding b-roll, intros, outros, etc.
