AUDITIONS ARE COMING!!

On-air auditions will be held on March 2, 2008 from 9am to 4pm at CitrusTV. A sign-up sheet will be posted right outside of the TV station on Wednesday at Noon. You will have Wednesday the 27th through Friday the 29th to choose a time for your audition. Auditions will be approximately 15 minutes long. Even if you DO NOT want to be on-air, you MUST sign up for a time to come in on Sunday and fill out paperwork for me.

PLEASE MARK THIS ON YOUR CALENDAR. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS for people who miss auditions unless you contact me BEFOREHAND. I will be more than happy to accommodate you if I hear from you ahead of time.

Auditions will consist of reading TWO (2) stories in Spanish (en espanol) off the teleprompter. You will also need to pick a story that you believe is newsworthy and write a 20-second story in Spanish (en espanol). You will need to bring TWO (2) copies of that story with you and you will read it following your read of the teleprompter. There will be a separate audition for weather and sports should you desire to do so. I expect you to show up looking professional. This means: ladies should be wearing a nice shirt or blouse (please cover your chest) with a suit jacket if you have one. Men are expected to wear a suit if you have one or at the very least, khakis with a dress shirt and tie. It will help the auditioning team to envision you being on-air if you look the part on Sunday. If you are applying for an off-air position you do not have to wear professional dress.

We are looking for people to be a part of the broadcast in many different ways, these include but are not limited to: public relations, advertising, reporting, on-air talent, writing, researching, mentors, voice coaches, web design, graphic design. If you have an idea for how you can be involved send an e-mail to jwtarr@syr.edu and your idea will thoroughly reviewed and considered.

Thank you and we are looking forward to seeing you!!
