    That's right, NoU.1 No U Music Station is looking for a new co-host! Currently our music station in Teamspeak is hosted and dj'd by myself, annyonion. However I am looking for someone who can help provide vocal recordings of weekly news/updates, advertisements, events and more.

    The Task

    The job is simple. You will be given an outline of what you need to read. Note the main show sessions will NOT be scripted, you must be someone who can adlib well to an organized outline. You can record as many times as you'd like, then send me the final recording for me to mix into the show's playlist. No actual DJ'ing or mixing is involved on your part, just recording your vocal readings of the outlines and recording whatever else I need you to do.​

    There is a possibility of performing live shows/interviews on air as well which requires your best talking skills as a host. You will also be given scripts for advertisements and special events (where scripts are preferred over adlibbing). We will go over these on Skype and connect to each other's computers using programs like Bitsync to gain access to our recording files.​

    Requirements
    1. A clear, strong voice that can be easily heard and understood.
    2. A fun, positive attitude that takes this role seriously.
    3. A passion for EcoCityCraft and for sharing news & info to other people.
    4. A high quality microphone - preferably a studio condenser mic or something similar to the snowball.
    5. An audio-recording software to record your tracks (you can get Audacity for free if you need one).
    6. A Skype account for communication.
    7. Teamspeak account and the Teamspeak program.
    8. Time and flexibility to get recordings in on time and when needed.
    9. Experience is not required, but any past vocal work you've done would also come in handy and be worth mentioning.
    The Reward

    Recognization for being a co-host on ECC's #1 International Music Station. It will all be volunteer work, but you will be providing and playing a very important role in the production of this music station.​

    Recording Demo

    In order to complete the application below and for me to even consider choosing you, I will have to listen to your voice and therefore I need a demo recording done. Please record and read the lines below:​


    Here are some examples of past recordings I have done for the show. There isn't much, but hopefully you'll get an idea of what I am expecting. You can save your recording and upload it onto a site like soundcloud and link it to me in the application below.​

    The Application

    Copy and paste the app below and make sure to fill it completely. I need a demo recording of your voice reading the script above, so if you have't recorded it yet, do not post this application up.​

    Your IGN:
    Have you read the requirements and can fulfill the task given?:
    Why do you want to join?:
    Do you have any past experience/work? If so, please list:
    What Microphone/Equipment do you use?:
    Demo Recording Link:
    Anything else?:

    Please post below. Once I feel I have enough applicants, I will pm the winner and immediately start working on recordings for the station.​

    Audacity is the easiest way to go if you need a free software.

    Have you read the requirements and can fulfill the task given?: Yes
    Why do you want to join?: Something interesting to do and another way to get involved with ECC and the community.
    Do you have any past experience/work? If so, please list: I used to do the audio newscast at my high school a couple years back. In Communications Tech, I "majored" (term used in this class specifically and not an actual major) in Graphic Design and Audio Recording. I once recorded and edited an hour and a half long audiobook for this class. This took me 6 weeks of in-studio time where I grew to hate my own voice and audio editing, and thus I don't dabble so often anymore. (As a side note, my friends loved the audiobook and my voice in it, so the hatred of my own voice is mostly just me and how long that project took me.)
    What Microphone/Equipment do you use?: My headset, which is a Sennheiser PC 320. It's not the best, and it does pick up a tiny bit of background noise. I am considering picking up a better headset/audio stuff when I get my new desktop, but haven't decided for sure yet.
    Demo Recording Link: Sky's Audition Recording
    Anything else?: I am aware of the slight buzz in the background, but I was happy with my speaking and so I used this take anyway. If continuing, I would find a way to eliminate that buzz.

    Wow I am really impressed by these submissions! It will be difficult for me to select a co-host.

    I may select several for other purposes (hosting a certain segment such as lotto/sg chart reading, ore/farm prices, etc) and to keep for recording advertisements and other stuff... But for the main co-host, it will be sooo hard. ;-;

    Keep bringing in your submissions! I'm really excited to see who will get chosen. : D
