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.  

I am not looking for an exact impersonation of this, it is just an example; by all means try to capture the mood with your own style.
Note - I am specifically looking for someone with a British accent (pref English, but I imagine with the right style, Scottish, Welsh or Irish could fit also).  

Update: Thanks for auditioning everyone, I got way more than I was expecting and I really appreciate the effort. 

  • "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"

Brilliant emotion, I can imagine you doing "Monster Bug Wars", but I was really looking for a British accent here, thanks for taking the time.

    Many thanks for the reply. Will we see a future project from you that gives us non-UK accented a shot?

      Actually there might be a part for an American narrator on the same project, but if it happens it wont materialize for 3-4 months yet. When it goes up, I will go through the auditions on this page and send you and some of the others a message. Thanks.

    Thanks for pointing that out. The click track was intentional.
