It covers choosing a format, using voice-over services like Secret Voicer, creating visuals with AI tools, and packaging videos with effective titles and thumbnails. ### Key Points - **Common Mistake of Newbies** [00:02] — Many beginners think faceless YouTube is easy money—upload a video and wait for views—but reality is different; channels get no views without a proper strategy. - **Faceless YouTube Formats** [00:47] — Formats include neurocontent, cuts, slide videos, documentary style, infographics, simple animation, and video stocks. All require voice-over, which becomes the channel's face. - **Secret Voicer Service** [02:03] — A paid voice-over service with a free trial, offering male/female voices, speed control, and emotional quality. The creator uses it for his faceless channels. - **Basic Faceless YouTube Formula** [05:32] — Steps: choose a niche, idea, thumbnail, title, script, voice-over (own or service), visuals (slides, cuts, generations), and editing. - **Creating Visuals with AI** [06:25] — Use free neural networks like Whiskey to generate images from prompts. Prompts can be written manually or via GPT chat. Example: 'a beautiful girl in a summer park'. - **Animating Images** [09:00] — Use services like Grok to animate static images into videos. For example, a generated girl can be made to walk or spin. - **Editing in CapCut** [11:37] — Import voice-over and visuals into CapCut to assemble the video. The creator has a detailed CapCut tutorial linked. - **Packaging: Title and Thumbnail** [13:29] — Title should include promise, specifics, and intrigue. Thumbnail should have 2-4 words, one main object, and contrast to grab attention in a split second. - **First Step Plan for Newbies** [15:12] — Publish 2-3 videos per week, choose one format and narrow niche, stick to a consistent publishing style. ### Conclusion The video outlines a clear, actionable roadmap for starting a faceless YouTube channel, emphasizing the importance of voice, visuals, and packaging. Beginners should focus on consistency and one format to build momentum. ## Transcript mistake. They think that YouTube without a face is an easy way to make money. You upload a video and wait for views. But the reality is completely different. The channel exists, there are videos, but there are no views. And no one understands what exactly they are doing wrong. In this video, I'll show you a roadmap for every YouTube newbie. From scratch, step by step, without a camera, without experience and without gray schemes. We'll explore which formats actually work, where a beginner should start, where most people go wrong, and how to build a scalable system. Watch this video to the end and you will have a clear plan of what to do after this video. So, let's go. Here's the roadmap of a faceless newbie YouTuber . From the idea to the first views without a camera and without experience. Let's zoom in a little. In fact, Let's zoom in a little. In fact, YouTube without a face is not a single format; there are others, such as neurocontent, cuts, slide videos, documentary style, infographics, simple animation, and video stocks. And, accordingly, your task is to choose the format that is closest to you and format that is closest to you and most interesting. Ah, and most interesting. Ah, and you can implement this format, ah, with you can implement this format, ah, with your experience. All these formats have one thing in common : they feature voice-over, dubbing with your own voice or neural networks. Accordingly, in fact, in content without a face, the voice is the face of your channel and your video. Purely face of your channel and your video. Purely confident, stable, and, accordingly, also retaining the viewer’s attention. Specifically, I, uh, on the channels, uh, that I host without a face, I use a voice-over service that I'm going to show you now. I've already demonstrated it in previous videos, but I'll show it again for those who are new to my channel. So, the service is called Secret Voicer. It is So, the service is called Secret Voicer. It is paid, but there is also a free trial period. Accordingly, you can follow the link in the description of this video or in the pinned comment and try it out, and let me know how it goes for you. Do you like the interface, do you like the voices that are voiced there, and then you will decide whether to use the paid version of this service or not. I have been using this service for several months now and I am completely satisfied, as I have tried many paid and free services, including Eleven Labs, and, accordingly, settled on this service. What is here? Everything here is intuitive. Ah, there is standard intuitive. Ah, there is standard quality of generation, there is emotional one. Accordingly, here we can choose the voice. There are male voices and there are voice. There are male voices and there are female voices. Further here, and, accordingly, we regulate the speed of the voiceover. It can be slower, it can be faster. . Next we insert the text here. And the one we want to voice, let's make some kind of example. Here I insert a short text and press the voice button. Next we look, the task status is being processed. That's it, the voice acting is ready. Let's listen. Watch to the end and you will have a clear plan of what to do after this video. I think it's gorgeous. Ah, look, in terms of the length of the voice-over, ah, you can do any kind of voice-over here. That is, whether it's for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or even an hour, you put it here in literally a matter of seconds, a matter of minutes, and all this voice-over is processed. Next, click on these three dots and click download. That's it, it's downloading. Save it for yourself and then, after that, add some visual. Accordingly, I will leave a link to this service both in the description under this video, in the pinned comment, and in my Telegram channel. Be sure to subscribe to the Telegram channel , it's in the YouTube channel description and will also be YouTube channel description and will also be under this video. So, let's move on. under this video. So, let's move on. Why does the faceless format appeal to newcomers? Because beginners often don’t have a camera, they don’t have confidence, they don’t have a camera, they don’t have confidence, they don’t have a team. Accordingly, it's much easier to start without your face, without your voice, using neural networks and visuals that already exist, uh, on the Internet, or I shoot my visuals, but, uh, not using expensive cameras, but shooting everything either on a phone, or, uh, using what's on the Internet. Accordingly, everything is scalable, Accordingly, everything is scalable, stable and automated. The stable and automated. The basic YouTube formula without a face. basic YouTube formula without a face. But you need to decide on a topic, a niche. And then there's the idea, preview, video title, script, the idea, preview, video title, script, voiceover, your own voice, narrator or voiceover, your own voice, narrator or voiceover services, visuals, slides, cuts and generations, your own video sequence or mixed formats. In fact, let's slow down a little on the visuals. There are several options. So, let's say we've decided on the voice-over: we'll use either our own voice, or a voice-over artist's voice, or we'll use the Secret Voicer voice-over service like I do. Accordingly, in terms of visuals, what can we come up with? And, firstly, these could be slides. These are the kinds of pictures we can make. And to make such pictures you don’t need a lot of intelligence. And there are now many free neural networks that generate for you, uh, any number of images in any, uh, so to speak, format. I'll leave a link to one of these services in the description below this video and in the Telegram channel. And this is Whiskey, it's free. Accordingly, free. Accordingly, you insert promt here. Prompt is a text description of what you want to see in this image. We can create prompts either ourselves or using the GPT chat. I write all my prompts in the GPT chat, GPT chat. I write all my prompts in the GPT chat, and I have a subscription to it. But, in principle, in the early stages I used the free version of the GPT chat. The free version was quite enough for me, but since I now have several channels, the paid version suits me better, since I don’t run into any limits on requests. Accordingly, let's make it simple and insert the query here. Just a beautiful girl in a summer park. Click generate. Please, in just a few He offered two pictures. Accordingly, here is a very young Accordingly, here is a very young girl, here is a young woman. If we insert more detailed prompts, . That is, a, with the characteristics that we specified in the promt. That is, I can indicate, for example, a brunette. 35 years old in a black dress. Please click. And I will already have a brunette in a black dress in a summer park, 35 years old. Let's see what he gives us in the end . Please, brunette in a black dress. The Please, brunette in a black dress. The styles, accordingly, can also be changed here, for example, format. That is, this will already be a cartoonish version. Please, the Pixar girl is already a girl. Further, accordingly, for some videos, such videos, such pictures and a voice-over are enough. And somewhere in some formats, And somewhere in some formats, video scene generation is also needed, that is, the same ones, and, let's say, we take pictures and animate them. Let's say I need this picture , I download it, and after that I want to animate it. You can animate both in the temple itself and You can animate both in the temple itself and in the chest. Let's say here in the temple. I'm in the chest. Let's say here in the temple. I'm animating it. What do I want to do? Ah, let it spin. Next is the second animation service GRК. And this service is also free. Ah, I click here. Here the Here the video format is horizontal. I choose. And here I'm attaching a file, this girl, which we just generated in whiskey, which we just generated in whiskey, and sending it to generate a video. And here and sending it to generate a video. And here we can, and write a prompt, or we can simply we can, and write a prompt, or we can simply button to make a video. He'll animate it himself somehow. Maybe she'll just stand there and show off in front of the camera. Maybe it will do something. But it’s best, of course, to prescribe the prompts, so that there is more control. Whiskey has already been generated 90%. The video will be ready now. Grok turned out to be The video will be ready now. Grok turned out to be faster and came up with two options at once. let's say I choose this option. I prefer [music] this. gorgeous, beautiful girl walks through the park. And, accordingly, let's look at what park. And, accordingly, let's look at what Whisk did for us. spin. Please. Here she is spinning. Accordingly, further, a, we get, get, a, there is a voice, there is a voice-over, and slides a, there is a voice, there is a voice-over, and slides or, a, and we have generation. And or, a, and we have generation. And our next step is to edit this video into one whole. Accordingly, for this we go to the Capcat editing program. Here, accordingly, we click the Create project button. Here we import what we have collected or generated. Please. Here I filmed a video about how I do a plank on my other channel, adding, and, accordingly, all channel, adding, and, accordingly, all this visual. Next pictures. And, accordingly, here I am already putting together the finished video. In this video, I will not show in more detail how to work in this CCKAT program and edit videos, since I, uh, literally the week before last, shot a literally the week before last, shot a very detailed, uh, video for you. Here is this video of Kapkat from scratch. There I spent 25 minutes showing how to use this editing program Kapka. There he showed everything, ah, all the subtleties of the work and I see that the he showed everything, ah, all the subtleties of the work and I see that the training, ah, is gaining little. That means this training video only got 210 views. He's, ah, underrated. Be sure, if you plan to start working, uh, with this program, be sure to watch this video, you'll find a lot of interesting features. So, after we have edited our video, all that remains is packaging and publishing. What remains is packaging and publishing. What is packaging? This is the title and preview. And the title is what we have under the video, that is, the name of the video. Prevw is this picture, a, which you see, a, on your main page. That is, let's say we go to the accordingly, we are shown previews of those authors that interest us. Accordingly, in order to somehow stand out, we need to make a high-quality title as much as possible. This is the name and a high-quality preview to stand out from the competition. We literally have a split second for a person to want to click on our preview. Accordingly, in the title we should have, uh, some kind of promise, specifics and have, uh, some kind of promise, specifics and intrigue, so that, uh, a person becomes intrigue, so that, uh, a person becomes interested, he becomes interested, uh, and he clicks on this video. Previews. The preview should contain two, maximum preview should contain two, maximum four words. There is no need to place a lot of text on the preview. one meaning and some contrast. That is, there must be some one main object. Try to have one, or at most two, main objects so that you and your viewer don't lose focus, because they literally have a split because they literally have a split second to, uh, grasp the meaning, become interested, and click on your preview. So, what's your realistic preview. So, what's your realistic first step plan as a newbie? first step plan as a newbie? And try to plan two or three videos a week to publish. Ah, try to choose one format. No Ah, try to choose one format. No need to jump from format to format. Choose a specific, narrow niche and stick to one publishing style. So, the final formula for a beginner. So, the final formula for a beginner. Firstly, you need an idea, secondly, you need text, thirdly, you need a voice, fourthly, you need visuals and fifthly, fourthly, you need visuals and fifthly, packaging. I didn’t say anything new in this video, but for beginners, I think this video would be useful.
