Auditioning to be a KISS presenter

Me on the microphone

This weekend Shannon and I went along to Westfields to audition to be 'The Kiss Chosen One'. The purpose of the competition was to be Kiss' next presenter. From a young age I have had an on-off relationship with presenting, as a result of having presented in front of thousands in my local theatre to radio presenting my Top 30 on Trent FM. This passion lay dormant until earlier this year MTV held a competition to become an MTV presenter. However, the competition was more of a popularity contest than talent competition and needless to say I didn't make the top 10.

So standing in the queue trying to decide why I should be the Chosen One I couldn't control my nerves. I felt sick with my stomach churning away, but it made me feel alive. I remembered at that moment why I came to London - to do things I would never get the opportunity to do otherwise.

The outcome of the audition was not what I had hoped for. I was told that I had the right personality and look (not sure you need the 'look' for radio) but my personality didn't come through when reading a script. So I am now trying to unleash my personality through my voice and audition again in a few weeks. Me and the microphone will be reunited.
