Wellness coach's 3-minute holiday pause video: $0.61 on Sume

A wellness coach, yoga teacher or counselor can make a 3-minute holiday pause video for $0.605 on Sume: a 2,600-character script voiced slowly ($0.13), a music bed ($0.125), one still ($0.05) and a 3-minute Timeline render ($0.30) (read 2026-10-03).

Thanksgiving to New Year is a busy stretch, and a short pause to send clients is a gentle way to stay in touch. This is general relaxation content: it should make no medical or therapeutic claims, and it does not replace anything a client needs from a qualified professional.

Voice, bed and picture

Voice: the TTS request accepts speed set to slow, which suits a pause. Keep sentences short, one breath each, and leave the pacing to punctuation. 2,600 characters at $0.0475 per 1,000 is $0.1235, billed as $0.13. Generate the file, check its real length, and use that in the render. Music: Music 1.0 is a fixed $0.125 per generation. Write the prompt as a soft instrumental bed with no vocals, and add it as soundtrack with loop on, a fade-out of a few seconds and duck_db so it sits under the voice.

Picture: one calm still, from your own photo or a Seedream 4.5 image at $0.05, held for the whole three minutes. Stills are static holds in Timeline. Put no text on it that could be read as a claim.

Wording and boundaries

Say what it is: a few minutes of quiet. Avoid promises such as lowering anxiety, curing sleep trouble, or treating any condition. If you are licensed, your board may regulate how you describe services in marketing, so check before you publish. Include a line pointing people in distress to professional or emergency help, using the right number for your country.

Make a second version for a different mood by changing the script and the music prompt: voice $0.13, music $0.125, render $0.30, so $0.555 without a new image. The earlier post on slow poem readings with a music bed goes deeper on pacing and ducking.

Budget and checks before you start

Write the script as a few plain steps: arrive, notice your breathing, name one thing you are letting go of for the holiday, and close. Avoid second-person commands that sound clinical. Read it aloud yourself once to catch phrases that sound odd, and keep each sentence short enough for a slow voice to read comfortably.

Send it as a gift in your holiday email rather than a promotion, and give people an easy way to unsubscribe. A quiet piece of content is a kindness when it is truly optional.
