Today the Minister of Business Development and Tourism Patrice Minors said, “We are very serious about bringing that special Bermudian quality back to Bermuda Tourism, and who better to sell our beautiful Island than its people.

“We also thought this would be a fun way to get Bermudians involved in our tourism product, and we’re encouraging anyone who thinks they have a unique and special voice to contact.us and make an appointment for an audition so that we can see what they have to offer.”

All interested persons should call 295-8176 for an audition appointment.

    • runnin scared says:

      Sean Tucker is rich and I need the money! what about my voice? I’ll be on the junction of front and Queen street holding a sign “will work for food” I’m wearing a green army jacket and generally unkept and ungroomed….

  5. Billee The Kidd says:

    lalalala… Did i get the job?

  6. It is what it is says:

    I have a unique voice but I am afraid of public speaking..however it is my hope that someone else with the courage who is not afraid to speak will apply. It would be nice to hear a different voice instead of the “regulars’…..

  7. In Mark's opinion says:

    Wish they pick a voice that people can recognize as Bermudian , because when I travel people hear me and ask are you from Bermuda .

  8. Buddy Saywhat says:

    Maybe Patrice Minors should do it and earn some that large wage that she gets for knowing nothing about Tourism. Bermudians must start to relize that the PLP are in this for them selves and not for Bermuda. PlP are the only ones getting richer around here, Everyone around here is struggling for cash, work and paying bills and government could really do something about this but choose not too !! Lose the Government cars and fuel bills and put it back into this Island……PLEASE HELP US ON DE ROCK GOVERNMENT!!!!!

    • PEPPER says:
