If you have an interesting voice, are fine with plugging Jimmy John's and love U of A basketball, here's your chance to be a part of what should be an exciting season for the men's team.

From the Arizona Athletics website:

The University of Arizona Department of the Intercollegiate Athletics is currently hosting pre-registration for an open casting call for individuals interested in serving as the men’s basketball public address announcer for the 2014-15 season.

This position will contribute to the high-energy atmosphere and excitement of Wildcats basketball in the newly-renovated McKale Center. This position will be compensated on a per-game basis.

All submissions must be received by Friday, Sept. 19, at 5 p.m. MST.

All pre-registrants will be reviewed and scored based off of audio recordings submitted and PA experience listed. The highest-scoring applicants will be considered finalists and will advance to a final round of live auditions at McKale Center. At that time, finalists will be judged based off of their in-person audition at McKale Center.

Work on your pronunciation of Tarczewski and head to the announcement online for the lines you need to record to audition. Good luck.
