Vietnamese Narration

I’m looking for a Vietnamese voiceover narrator to record lines for a short travelogue film set in Vietnam. The film follows a group of friends on a four-cave trek, and the narration is meant to feel cinematic, thoughtful, and a bit off-beat / humorous.
The vibe is: serious documentary voice, but describing slightly absurd or deadpan lines. The contrast is what makes it funny.
Scope of Work
~30 short lines (about one sentence each).
I will provide the script in English.
I need each line recorded in both Vietnamese and English so I can easily match and edit in post.
Preferred recording format/workflow:
Two passes of the script:
Pass 1 – English:
Say the line number, then the English line.
Example: “Line 1… [English sentence].”
Pass 2 – Vietnamese:
Say the same line number, then the Vietnamese version.
Example: “Dòng 1… [Vietnamese sentence].”
Clean, high-quality audio (WAV or high-quality MP3), mono is fine, no heavy processing (light noise reduction / normalization is okay).
If you have a more standard workflow you prefer for bilingual VO that keeps things clearly organized by line, I’m open to suggestions.

Tone / Performance
Native or near-native Vietnamese speaker with good English.
Theatrical but controlled – more “cinematic narrator” than “cartoon.”
Comfortable delivering a calm, reflective, slightly deadpan tone.
Timing and clarity matter more than speed; I can handle the timing in the edit.

Requirements
Access to a professional or semi-professional recording setup (no heavy room echo, no loud background noise).
Ability to:
Read in English clearly, and
Translate/adapt the lines into natural Vietnamese that still keeps the meaning and humor.
Willing to do one small round of pickups if a few lines need tweaks.
