Become a 2MBS Presenter

Here at 2MBS, we’re always looking for volunteers to join our team of presenters. If you’re fluent in English, have a little background in music, and can take a stab at pronouncing the many foreign names and words that crop up in Western music, why not take the following ten-minute audition, and see if you have what it takes to become a 2MBS presenter?

The Audition Process

1. Listen to the music clips for which we have a prepared script.
2. Print out the script, ready to read and record.
3. Fill in the online form, giving us some basic information about yourself.
4. The form has a Record button, for you to record your reading of the script. If you make an error, press Record and begin again – your earlier attempt will be overwritten.
5. Submit the form. We’ll get back to you in a day or so, to let you know whether you have been accepted for training.

Note  – We’d all like to have lovely, resonant ‘radio’ voices, but that’s not the most important thing for 2MBS. What we want to hear is an intelligent read, that uses appropriate word stress to convey to the listener the narrative of the script.

We also greatly value the ability to pronounce foreign names and words correctly. If you are in any doubt about pronunciations in the audition scripts, we strongly advise consulting forvo.com before you make your recording.
