I'm not a voice actor, but I do a mean Sponge Bob and Yoda impersonation, oh and Dobby from Harry Potter... And Elmo.... Do you mean inflection? Dramatic pauses? stutters, where necessary? Maybe provide specific technical aspects of what you mean? Language is a subjective thing, words mean different things to different people - hit them with laser beam examples - hope it helps?
See as a writer I hear people all the time who read aloud... I haven't heard that many who can act with their voice... Project what is being said in a dramatic way as to enhance the words to make a scene that people can imagine. Not sure if that makes any sense as I'm not an actor nor vocalist.
That's why it's called "Voice Acting" When I do a voice over, and I've done many, I have to size up the script just as I do if I'm appearing on television and on film. It's no different, except you're not being seen. But EVERYTHING can still be accomplished in not so much what you say, but how you say it. What is the character trying to get across? What is his or her mood? What are the highs and lows in the script. These are the questions they should be asking themselves.
Explain that you want the person to give you their inner feelings with their voice expressing their inner feelings by varying their tonal and volume qualities of their voice to verbally convey these inner feelings. Just the way a vocal singer varies their vocal qualities to add their feelings to the listeners of the music. This is the advantage of having an actor or actress that is taking or has had some vocal singing training.
Gary... exactly thanks for that ... Jimmy you also are right and many thanks to you too... Now to find an lady with a very interesting elderly british voice...
Just as an actor does, you have to become your character. Beginning with a backstory. If one is not supplied, then I make one up to fit the situation. The range of emotions must be real to be believed. In my opinion, a good voice actor learns how to act first.

Interesting Gary but I doubt they would understand. Thanks for the link up sir.
That's what happens (the weird look) ,in my opinion, when an artist has a set form & a set style they inevitably limit themselves.
i think most people place limits on themselves without realising it.
I agree Joseph which is why i implement using no way as way & be like water......

It seems like you are seeking a voice actor? If you want a film actor to do more with their voice ask them for more character. Hope this helps.
Yeah its a voice actor but not just an engaging tone but someone who can also evoke. the search continues lol

WOW excellent idea Jacqueline and around the right age group for what i have in mind... I don't suppose you know her in person?
I worked with an older British lady recently. You can listen http://www.50kissesfilm.com/movies/beryl-by-kristy-linderholm/ I played Beryl as American but Jenny is a Brit and might fit for you.
Thanks Sandra will check it out x
