You could try a good medium!

Why not try some of your local teachers? they should do it ok and cheap?![]()

I'd love to do it, maybe even for free (depends on what you're going to use it for). Now as you can see I'm from Switzerland and not a native english speaker, but I think I can say I hardly have a foreign accent when speaking (even though my american english is better than my british english). I can do different types of voiceovers, from the dramatic "movie trailer", the "overacted" tv spot that tries to sell you something, to the more subtle voice for business films. I've done it before, in different languages, for TV spots and features, plus I'm a singer, so I have quite a good control of my voice. I've got a recording booth (not professional, but I get professional results with it) in my home, so if you'd like to have a demo with your text, you can contact me.

Aren't literature and language teachers (don't know the proper term, my english is obviously not as good as i thought) supposed to read good, at least some of them? Yeah sure, if you have the money go for a pro, but i always think people here don't have a lot of money for their movies, so that's why i said that. Frankly, i know quite a few people in my town who would be very good at narrating movies for me, so it's kinda strange to get such a reaction. Also, i'd much rather invest in proper lightning and sound, cause you can't recreate that, whatever you've messed up during the shoot stays there.

Last person I talked to who had managed to get James Earl Jones to do a voice over cost him plenty. And JEJ was not willing to drop the price. Even for a Documentary on African American History.
