Ahoy opportunists !

I've recently returned to Second Life and have been asked to develop another short film // machinima // promotional video piece based around the vampire roleplaying sim I associate with. The first project I did was very last minute & on-the-fly, but this time around I'm looking to create something truely robust and set above the typical resident expectation (ie. laggy screencaps, horrid clipping, GUI visibile, etc.) I'm sure all us savvy YouTube addicts have seen some of the abominations there.

I would like to hire on a voice actor for this project. It won't be too extensive, as the video will probably be less than 10 minutes long -- but it WILL take some time to put the polish on it so patience and personal interest would be a definite must.

GENERAL STORY:

The year is 1553. Queen Kelika is a diablerist. Emory, her previous king is dethroned and a new Ventrue has made his way into the hierarchy to potentially be the future regent. The house, once fallen into relative abandon has entered the bloody throes of rebirth.

GENERAL VIDEO PROGRESSION:

Narrated intro with sim panorama briefly explaining above premice.
Flashback cutscenes that touch on past patriarch and character backstory.
The knighting ceremony (already complete, 40 gigs of footage.)
The following celebrations (already complete, 20 gigs of footage.)
Ascension or cliffhanger dependent on project duration.

REQUIREMENTS:

I'm not concerned about the speakers gender; male or female is fine.
Must be able to record voice in high, clear quality.
Preference given to someone who can show me vocal conviction.
Must speak fluent English.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Narration will come in during cut scenes; quite possibly poetic prose associated with the next clip. Baseline payment will be discussed prior to beginning the project; possibly 'piecework' (sound file worth x amount.)

I have had a few requests to do other machinima projects for people, so if we work well together and you enjoy your time working with me the potential for further endeavors exists.
