Today we launched our first kids’ voice-over contest!

We’re looking for kids age 5 to 12 who would like their voices to be included in our second audiobook, “Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy.”

Michael, age 6, twins Adam and Matthew, age 7, and Edward, age 9, will likely lend their voices to some of the characters (Bash, Adam, Matthew and Coach). But we need kids to read for two more characters–Paula, who is about 8 in the book and Tristen, who is about 9 in the book.

When we say “contest,” we don’t mean we’re looking for the “best” voices; we’re looking for the voices that best fit the characters!

Who listens to our audiobooks? Children and teachers! We give a set of our audiobooks and books to each of the schools we visit, in person and through Skype in the classroom. And we visit lots of schools!

You can listen to our first audiobook by clicking here:

HERE’S HOW TO ENTER THE CONTEST:

1. You’ll need a computer, microphone and recording software. We use Garageband as software because we have a Mac computer.

2. Record one of the lines below (for either Tristen or Paula).

3. Email us your recording, as an mp3 file, along with your name, age and preferred email. Feel free to include phone number and school (optional). Email BashAndLucy@gmail.com

If you’d like to be the voice of Paula, record this line:

“My name’s Paula. I need Lucy to coach my team.”

If you’d like to read for Tristen, record this line:
“We …need…Lucy to coach…our team. We’re going to the championships tomorrow.”

If you want to learn more about the characters and the book, email us at BashAndLucy@gmail.com. We can send you the book as a pdf. Or you can check out a few of the book reviews. They tell a lot about the story: Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy reviews on Amazon.com

If we choose you, you’ll get copies of our books and audiobooks and you’ll be credited on the audiobook as a reader.
