Laboratory scientists for a video game
Dennis Rowley for Nature Documentary Narrator
I am looking for a voice actor for an indie video game project. They will play the part of a nature documentary narrator. I am hoping to find someone for $100 per hour for about 2-3 hours work (around 2000 words). The narrator will mostly be describing the behaviour of carnivorous insects and I want it to feel quite dark. Here is an example of the sort of style I would like:

That is Andy Serkis (the voice of Golumn in Lord of the Rings) - he is probably a bit out of my price range! I love the way he uses his breath sometimes, almost whispering.
"Ants... They’re organized... Industrious... And hungry... But in the undergrowth, there’s no such thing as a free lunch"
"The crickets have had their fill of roots for the day, and are now on the hunt for protein rich invertebrates; this queen and her brood are in imminent danger of being devoured."
Sometimes the narrator will need to convey a game-play point quickly to the player, try to say this one with some urgency:
"The colony is starving, there is not enough food to feed the new brood"
I realize it's not a British accent, but wanted to give the American English a go.
It's really good; I did have a plan for a possible American part later on which you sound just right for. I will let you know if it materializes.
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to listen... and hope for an opportunity to work with you in the future.
You have an excellent, soothing, classic narrative style voice. Very nice. = )
