Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a personable storyteller who enjoys exploring public places and can speak to a camera with ease. This role suits creators who are comfortable filming in busy outdoor settings and can follow a structured format without supervision. It is less suitable for shy or camera-shy individuals, or for those who live in Texas, Illinois, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, or Vermont, since these states are excluded. Common reasons candidates score low on fit include submitting shaky footage or unclear audio, failing to follow the required intro-body-conclusion structure, or not being able to commit the minimum 10 hours per week.
