Male Voice-Over Artist with a Natural Middle Eastern Accent (Short Poetic Film, Under 1 Min)

Hi! We’re two professional film directors working on a short passion project: a one-minute video tribute to Puglia, a region in southern Italy we both fell in love with. This isn’t a commercial job, just something we’re making because we care about it, and it will be published online (with full credit to you as the voice actor). We’re looking for a male voice-over artist with a natural Middle Eastern accent for the English narration. What we’re after: • Male voice, roughly 25 to 40 years old. • A Middle Eastern accent that is naturally present, not forced or exaggerated. Please don’t “perform” the accent; we just want it to be authentically there as you read. • An intimate, warm, slightly poetic delivery. Unhurried pacing, letting the lines breathe. Close and personal, almost whispered in places, not announcer-style. Technical deliverables: • Clean, dry recording: voice only, no music or effects. • Broadcast-quality home studio, low noise floor, no room echo or background noise. • Delivered as WAV, ideally 48 kHz / 24-bit (44.1 kHz / 16-bit is acceptable). • One full read, plus (if possible) a couple of alternate takes on a few key lines, so we have options in the edit. • Includes two rounds of revisions or re-records if we need adjustments. The piece (full script below, around 45 to 60 seconds of finished narration): There is a place, where the Sun meets the sea and the waters are warm. Where ancient stones and endless skies tell stories of love and time. A canvas of blue and gold. You slip through my fingers like water. Yet, your weight remains so heavy on my chest. When I’m here with you, the wind never finds me, and time forgets to move. The veins on your leaves: a map of what I’ve lost, and where I’m meant to be. And now I know, home was never a place, but a feeling. Puglia: the dream I never want to wake from.
