Casting Call for Kids 4-8 years old..Video Submissions!!
Raggs Rockin’ Kids Search Seeks 100 Kids to Appear In TV Series “Raggs”, the hit public television preschool series, announced today that it will hold auditions from June 1-30 at Raggs.com for 100 kids to appear in a special talk show segment of the series.
The winners will be selected based on video submissions, which parents can upload to the Raggs.com website. http://www.raggs.com/kidssearchvideo/
The goal is to find 100 really animated, talkative and clever kids who represent a diverse sampling of families in the country. They will pick up to 100 winners from across the US & bring them into their studio for a rare opportunity to experience the behind-the-scenes making of a TV series & the excitement of being involved in the production. “Raggs”, is a musical & educational preschool series starring 5 colorful canines that play rockin’ music and live in a cool clubhouse with their pet cat, Dumpster.
The series is built using an innovative mix of 6 different segments that focus on key preschool educational themes such literacy, music and arts, math, science, social studies and physical movement. One of the most popular segments of the “Raggs” series is the “talk show style” chats with Dumpster the Cat. During this segment, Dumpster interviews kids about the overarching theme of the episode.
For example, if the episode focuses on the sense of smell, Dumpster & the children discuss their favorite smells, how smelling works & what certain smells mean. The candid moments & articulate answers captured during the interviews with the children are priceless and often times hilarious. Winners will be notified in early July & the taping is scheduled to take place in mid-August. The “Raggs” episodes with some of the winners will begin airing with the special debut of the first-ever Halloween-themed episode. Additional shows will be released in February 2010.
If Susan Boyle can do it maybe I can too…my 2nd chance.
At my age thanks to Charles Bohannan of Wordful I may just get my Susan Boyle moment.
Charles just won two tickets to The Social Media Success Summit and he has so generously offered to help another blogger attend. Brilliant marketing move for Charles for driving traffic to his blog, getting folks to subscribe, follow him on twitter, all while offering real value. Seems like he is well on his way to be a Social Media Success. To win his extra ticket Charles has asked a few simple things..write a post..…keep it short, be specific, put your heart into it, and no more than 500 words…
So what am I, a mother of 4 teenagers doing in the ocean of social media? A time in my life where my friends are more worried about decorating their family rooms, or where are they going on spring break, why is it I’m drawn to checking my Facebook, interacting on twitter, and working on a blog posts.
What the heck is wrong with me, why would I want to jump into this social media pool at my age?
In Charles winning blog post he spoke of rolling out of bed at 4:30 to start another day of writing. Me too.. I’m also consistently online trying to learn. If you check my tweet’s last night I went to be at 3:00 am and was up at 7:00 am. I have no choice to work a strange times, I’m raising four teenagers so fitting in my time is not easy. Every free second I have I’m totally immersed in reading blogs, twittering, and updating my Facebook.
I have been involved with how the power of social media can change the world; I hosted a charity event online this spring.
I have been podcasting since 2004. I started podcasting because it’s extremely difficult to write, I have dyslexia and it takes me hours to write. I can crank out killer content but it’s not easy, still I have not let that disability stand in my way. I have 3 blogs and I write all the content. It takes hours; I also record 3 podcast a week.
The biggest challenge I’m facing is trying to convince my husband that this will lead to something. I just don’t have a road map, and that’s why I so desperately wanted to win the ticket.
Times are tough, my husband is in the car business and this fall I will have two kids in College, so I have to figure out a way to make this social media a success. or I will have to toss in the towel.
I did enter the fist contest, I was a runner up, and I dedicated two blog posts for 7 days to promote the original contest.
After I read Charles post I was very happy for his win, and then he is so generous to share the prize blew me away.
So thanks for the 2nd chance, and no matter what happens I’m happy to have found Wordful
