Ring, the maker of some of the best video doorbells, is holding open auditions to find a new voice to give some personality to Quick Replies – pre-selected messages that play when someone presses the button, a little like an answering machine.
Scotland has a huge variety of accents, and Ring hasn't specified one in particular – the only requirement is that you're at least 18 years old.
The company is holding in-person events in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, or you can audition virtually by recording a video of yourself saying "We can’t answer the door right now, but if you’d like to leave a message, you can do it now," and then posting it to Instagram or TikTok with the hashtag #RingVoiceoftheNation.
If you have your own Ring doorbell and a Ring Protect subscription, you can audition by using the device to record yourself saying the line, then pressing the 'Share' button in the Ring app and selecting 'Share with Ring'.
What you'll win
DJ Edith Bowman will help select the winner, whose voice will be available for Ring users throughout the UK to select for their Quick Replies.
The successful speaker will also receive a Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus, which we awarded four-and-a-half stars out of five when we tested it in July last year, and up to £150 in expenses for traveling to the recording session.
