About

Faceless Notes is written by the team at EX Create LLC, a small software and content studio in Tokyo, Japan.

We run four faceless YouTube channels in Japanese (science, business history, shrines and folklore, and a shorts channel), and we publish books on Kindle. The narration is generated with ElevenLabs on two of the channels and with a free Japanese synthetic voice on another. Illustrations and thumbnails are made with Higgsfield and other image models. A coding agent assembles the videos from a script file.

Because every video runs through the same tooling, we have logs: characters sent to the voice API, seconds of audio produced, number of cuts, credits used, and what went wrong. The articles here are those logs written up so that someone starting a channel can size their plans from real usage.

What we do not do

• We do not review tools we have not used in production.
• We do not rank tools by how much commission they pay.
• We do not invent test results. If a number is a conversion or an assumption rather than a measurement, the article says so.
