Don't slip through the net - take your chance to be a presenter
in the digital age
The
BBC is offering five individuals the chance to become dedicated
interactive presenters working on some of the most innovative programmes
on the world wide web.
The
BBC's unique initiative, BBC Talent, wants to find the internet
presenters of the future. On offer are five six-month contracts
to be given to the entrants who impress the BBC's experienced judges
the most.
If
you think you can help bring the digital age alive and communicate
to all age groups and audiences via the net, and are a user of interactive
services, text messages, chat rooms and forums, then you could soon
find yourself reporting from the latest blockbuster premiere or
the hottest gig in town.
If
you have enthusiasm, energy, commitment, charisma, and an inquiring
mind, then visit the Virgin Megastore in Leeds this weekend to record
your own audition and email it back to the BBC - totally free of
charge.
A
team of BBC producers will be on hand to guide you though the online
audition system. Drop into the store between Noon and 5.00pm on
Sunday 27 May and between 10.00am and 6.00pm on Monday 28 and Tuesday
29 May.
The
selected presenters will become the new faces of BBCi. They will
help users navigate and access content across all platforms, as
well as helping demystify all the technology and jargon.
They
will do everything from facilitating live chats on the web, to acting
as a reporter for the BBC's entertainment site.
But,
perhaps most importantly, the selected candidates will help define
the role of BBCi presenter - from now, well into the future...
Angie
Stephenson, BBC Talent Executive, says: "This is a great chance
for people to get involved right at the heart of the digital revolution.
There is no doubt that people need special skills to be a web broadcaster
and hopefully, with these type of auditions, we can find some of
Britain's brightest and best new stars."
So
if you are over 18, can talk into a camera with confidence, explain
the unexplainable with clarity and passion and have a burning desire
to see yourself on PCs all over the world, then record a short audition
tape and see if the BBC pick you to become one of their cyber celebrities.

You will get full instructions and details of all the other schemes
in this year's BBC Talent initiative.
The
search for BBCi presenters forms part of this year's BBC Talent
campaign which launched on 7 March for the third successful year
to find and develop new broadcast talent in the UK.
