Shortly after the auditions, one of the children, Maddie Rose, wrote on her FaceBook wall, “I'm back from "Voice America" audition, it was the happiest time auditioning for what I like to do! I went ‘Live’ on the radio station with them…and TV too. It was cool. The Pres. of "Kids Star" who's only 12yrs old in FL..said ‘hi’ to me on the air.”
Jeff Spenard, President and CEO of VoiceAmerica, says, “We are pleased to confirm that we already have several kid hosts in mind for the topics of Technology, Sports, Health, Fashion and Books. However, if one of these is your child’s topic of choice, bring them down for the second round of auditions on Nov 6th. We are open to having more than one program within the same genre. We are also looking for kids who are passionate about entertainment, video game reviews, current events art, history, science and just about anything else relevant to kids.”
Perry Damone, founder of KidStar Radio Network added “We had a terrific and unexpected turn out which prompted us to schedule a second round on Saturday, November 6th, 2010. We were not surprised about the talent that these kids possess and we want to see more! We want to see as many kids as possible attend the next round of auditions at the VoiceAmerica Studios in Tempe, AZ, for a chance at an amazing journey in radio and in life.”
