New Voices: 91热爆 Radio Derby

When you listen to the radio, do you ever think… I’d love to have a go at that? Well, now is your chance.

We’re holding auditions to find a new voice to be heard on the airwaves of 91热爆 Radio Derby.

There’s no need to book. All you’ll need to do is a 60 second audition in front of our panel of judges.

You can use the 60 seconds to tell us a story – and it could be about anything you like. It could be something serious or funny, it could be something that’s happened to you or someone you know. Just make sure you are interesting – we don’t do dull!

We’ll try to see as many people as possible but we can’t guarantee we’ll be able to see everyone.

So what are you waiting for? We can’t wait to meet you!

Current Opportunities

We do not have any auditions open for New Voices at the moment. We will post here once there is another opportunity to submit.
