Have you ever noticed how some people seem to have an almost supernatural control over the environment around them? Without saying a word, they don’t shout. They don’t beg. They simply withdraw. And suddenly, everything changes. The energy shifts. People begin to question, chase after, and feel.
Now imagine if you did the same. What if you stopped reacting immediately to everything? What if you chose silence over the automatic response, retreat instead of explosion? What do you think would happen?
That’s where the point lies. When you stop being constantly available—emotionally, physically, psychologically—the world around you goes into crisis. Why? Because people are used to controlling you through your reactions, impulses, and predictability. But the day you choose to withdraw, the game changes.
This type of deep, reflective insight is what drives channels in the philosophy/psychology niche. And here’s the best part: you don’t need to be a philosopher or psychologist to create videos like this. In this guide, I’ll show you how to turn an idea like “the power of silence” into a full faceless video—script, images, voiceover, editing, the works.
The video you just watched at the beginning? I created it completely by myself—no team, no expensive studio. And so can you.
Why the Philosophy Niche Still Works
Some of you may have already tried to replicate what faceless creators are doing. You’ve followed the steps, copied the style, and yet—barely any views. It’s easy to think this niche is oversaturated. But the truth is, channels in this space are still pulling in tens of thousands of views per upload.
Take Cyphoria, for example. With just 46 videos, they’ve already grown to 257,000 subscribers and almost 7 million views. Their channel profile? Minimal. Their descriptions? Short. Nothing fancy at all.
So how are they crushing it? By focusing on what matters: compelling scripts, captivating visuals, and consistent delivery. No keyword-stuffing, no hacks. Just good content, made with intention.
And that’s exactly what I’ll teach you here.
Step 1: Generating Topics with ChatGPT
The hardest part of making faceless videos is coming up with ideas. But with ChatGPT, you can generate endless topics. Try this exact prompt:
“Give me a list of thought-provoking, emotionally reflective video script topics in the style of a calm, introspective narrator. The themes should center around human psychology, emotional self-mastery, the power of silence, detachment, boundaries, self-worth, and interpersonal dynamics. Each topic should feel personal, almost spiritual, and invite the viewer to reflect deeply. Think in the tone of Carl Jung, Marcus Aurelius, or Alan Watts. Avoid generic self-help titles. Aim for poetic, slightly mysterious titles that stir curiosity.”
With a prompt like that, ChatGPT gives you a list of ready-to-use titles. Examples include:
- “Learning to Speak with Your Silence”
- “The Peace That Arrives When You Stop Explaining Yourself”
- “You Do Not Have to Earn the Right to Exist”
- “The Ego Doesn’t Want Peace—It Wants Control”
- “Your Patterns Are Older Than Your Memories”
Each of these can become a video title and script foundation.
Step 2: Writing the Script
Once you choose a topic, ask ChatGPT:
“Write me a 1,000-word script in a calm, philosophical tone based on the title [insert title].”
ChatGPT will generate a full script for you. Often, it’s already good enough to use without edits. But remember: ChatGPT usually produces 300–1,000 words, which is perfect for short videos (2–6 minutes). For longer 20-minute videos like Cyphoria’s, you’ll need to request multiple continuations until you reach 3,000–4,000 words.
If you’re just starting, shorter videos are fine. Focus on quality, not length.
Step 3: Creating Images
Philosophy videos stand out because of their visual atmosphere. Cyphoria mixes styles—black-and-white sketches, Van Gogh-like art, surreal illustrations, and even Baroque visuals. This variety keeps viewers engaged.
Here’s a prompt you can use to create black-and-white images:
“A surreal symbolic scene in minimalist black and white, inspired by psychological horror graphic novels. The image should feel introspective, slightly eerie, and cinematic. Please generate in landscape format, 16:9.”
Run this in ChatGPT’s image tool first. Then, if you want higher quality, take that image into Leonardo AI using Image-to-Image. Set the strength around 0.5, style to Dynamic, generation mode to Quality, and resolution to 16:9. The result is sharper and more detailed.
To expand further, you can ask ChatGPT:
“Create 10 detailed, stylistically rich art prompts similar in tone to this example.”
Now you have a full batch of prompts to generate a series of matching images.
Step 4: Automating with Python & API
If you want to scale, you don’t want to copy-paste prompts all day. Instead, create a JSON file with all your prompts, then ask ChatGPT:
“Write a Python script that generates all the images from this JSON file using the OpenAI API.”
Once configured, the script will run automatically, generating and saving every image into your folder.
⚠️ Note: this requires some coding knowledge. If you’re new, expect errors—it’s normal. But once set up, you can generate dozens of images in the background while you focus on other work.
Step 5: Producing Voiceovers
Most faceless channels use 11 Labs for voiceovers. Default voices like “Chris” or “Daniel” work, but they’re overused. To stand out, use Voice Design.
For example, you could prompt:
“An older British male voice, raspy yet calm, professional, reflective, and slightly mysterious.”
Test a few until you find one that fits your niche. Save it, then paste your script into 11 Labs and generate the narration.
Afterward, run it through Audacity:
- Use Truncate Silence to remove awkward gaps
- Normalize loudness to -14 LUFS (YouTube standard)
- Export as MP3 or WAV
Now you have a clean, professional narration.
Step 6: Animating and Editing
Static images can work, but animation takes your videos to another level. Tools like Kling AI allow you to animate generated images into subtle, surreal movements—faces shifting, cosmic voids opening, hands trembling. Perfect for the psychological vibe.
Once you’ve got your clips, import everything into CapCut:
- Arrange your voiceover on one track
- Add your animated and static images on another
- Use text layers for quotes and captions
- Apply subtle zooms (105%–110%) for depth
- Add noise/grain filters to enhance mood
- Layer background music softly under narration
With just a few edits, you’ll have a video that looks polished and professional—without ever showing your face.
Why This Works
The philosophy/psychology niche thrives on:
- Universal themes (silence, ego, detachment, identity)
- Atmospheric visuals (minimalist, surreal, or symbolic)
- Calm narration (measured, reflective, trustworthy)
Unlike entertainment or news niches, this type of content has long shelf life. A video posted today can still gain views months or years later, because people are always searching for wisdom and self-reflection.
Final Thoughts
The power of silence isn’t just a philosophical idea—it’s also a content strategy. By withdrawing from noise—keyword gimmicks, over-optimization, clickbait—you allow your content to stand on its own.
All you need is:
- A strong script (ChatGPT makes this easy)
- Unique visuals (AI tools + prompts)
- Professional narration (11 Labs + Audacity)
- Clean editing (CapCut + subtle effects)
This is the same formula channels like Cyphoria use to pull millions of views with faceless content. The difference is now you know how to build it yourself—step by step.
