$1,000 On Offer: ‘Voice of Bermuda’
The Bermuda Department of Tourism [BDOT] has launched a search for the ‘Voice of Bermuda’.
They are encouraging interested Bermudians, male or female, who have a unique voice to contact the Department so that they can take part in an open casting call, which starts this Monday, July 4.
Between the hours of 10.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m., interested persons will be asked to read three 30 second scripts, and the successful applicant’s voice will be used for the BDOT’s upcoming North American TV ads. The winning applicant will also receive $1,000 for their voice over efforts.
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.
Well Tony…..here’s one thing they are doing;)
Don’t ask the candidates to “read” anything cuz half of our population can’t read.
Don’t be ridiculous. That’s just not true at all.
Anybody ever hear Jinx Darrell ?
Goverment must be out of their mind.
Seriously…………..
You need a voice, pay em $1000 to say HELP………..
F$ck Tony told them years ago…………………
Tony….Just yell “HELP”………………………..
Freeking morons…….
Sean Tucker would be perfect for this…hope he auditions…beautiful speaking and singing voice…
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….
lalalala… Did i get the job?
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’…..
Wish they pick a voice that people can recognize as Bermudian , because when I travel people hear me and ask are you from Bermuda .
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!!!!!
Patrice Minors (minus )of any knowldge of Tourism should be fired not Tony Brennon… for GODS SAKE SHE IS A PART TIME TOURISM MINISTER !!!!!!
and guess who hired her ?
