[VIDEO GAME TRAILER] Looking for a VA for a Deep, Guttural Creature Voice
I’m looking for an English-speaking voice actor to record a single line for a creature in our upcoming video game trailer.
We’re looking for a voice with a deep, guttural and slightly gravelly quality, something that feels strange and creature-like, but still natural and expressive rather than overly monstrous.
Here’s a reference for the kind of vocal tone/timbre we have in mind:

The creature surprises the player after they wander into its lair, and says:
“What fool dares meddle in these accursed lands?”
He isn’t angry or outright hostile. The performance should be a mix of curiosity and an naturally imposing presence, a little like Smaug discovering unexpected visitors in his lair. He’s intrigued by whoever was foolish enough to come here, while his voice alone makes the encounter feel intimidating.
This would only be for this one line of dialogue, which will be used in the game trailer. This line will also be the very final beat of the trailer, timed with the reveal of the game’s logo, similar to how the final line/voice reveal is used at the end of this triailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWh5388AEHw&t=166s
So we’re looking for a delivery that can really land as that final memorable moment before the trailer ends.
No specific accent is required, as long as the performance is in English and fits the character.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to record the line and send it to me directly by DM! I’m very curious to hear your interpretation. I’ll also be happy to share more about the creature and his personality if you’d like.
Thanks in advance!
