Hey gang,

As I've said a couple times, I work for a company called radio lounge - we produce radio commercials and things like that.

Anyways, we're looking for a British announcer for a 60 second commercial. It's a 60 second spot. And, yes, it's for a real client, a real company, and it will really air on the American radio airwaves.

So, it's particularly odd they want a British announcer. Any ways, you have to have a either
1) spot on British accent
or 2) a REAL British accent.
We're looking for something that sounds like the Gieco Geko, so that's something to work with.

Most of these spots can't sound like you're reading the script. Don't try to sound like an announcer - just sound like the next door neighbor giving you some information.

Here's the spot
--

"As a parent, there are two words you never want to hear your child say…
“I can’t”…
Especially when it comes to late night homework.
It’s usually followed by phrases like “I don’t understand” or “I just don’t get it”.
