Spokesperson Needed - (posted 6/12/09 by Mobile communications company)
CASTING CALL - MALE 35-45
Steady gig, flexible scheduling, good pay!
A Wisconsin-based mobile communications company with a straight-forward attitude and a passion for delivering quality service at an affordable price, is seeking a new spokesman. We’re looking for an undiscovered, underexposed talent who deserves a big break. Someone comfortable onscreen and off, who can improv at regional promotional events in front of large groups of people, perhaps do some radio remotes AND bring a radio or TV script to life. If the spokesperson is successful, this gig could last a year or more. Good, steady work.
Compensation: to be negotiated. This is a long-term move for the company, so there will be a decent amount of money put behind it to make it work.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
White, male, 35 to 45 years old. It'd be nice if you were a big guy, a little broader and a little taller than average. But, if you fit the gender, age, race and right attitude bill, body type won't matter. Spokesman should be very Wisconsin—and that includes having a light Wisconsin accent.
Friendly, solid, likeable and down-to-earth, the spokesman is a trusted everyman who knows a good deal and hates getting the runaround. He’s people-smart, the voice of reason. A family man with strong values. The kind of guy who’d love a big screen but is happy watching the game on a TV in the garage with a bunch of his friends.
Please email head shot, resume, and time availability for trying out at our offices in Madison within the week of 6/15 or 6/22.
Travel will be expected on this job, so reliable transport is required. You will be reimbursed for travel.
Location for work: South Central WI, maybe into Fox Valley
