Mike Lauer’s Discover Wisconsin Host Audition

After telling a friend recently that hosting a travel show was in the top 5 on my ‘bucket list’, I learned that Discover Wisconsin was accepting video auditions for a new host… perfect.   I had to give it a shot.  This is my first attempt at doing anything like this, so I admit, I’m a little rough around the edges.  I figure I can only get better from here.  I hope they give me a shot.  Let me know what you think…

Hey Mike this is Jake. It would be sweet to see this on TV. Just a couple things i noticed: you were a little patchy when talking (that just might be due to remembering lines though), sometimes you moved your chin back and forth too much (distracting), and you looked concerned at some parts (try smiling more? haha). Otherwise I feel you covered the best parts of stephensville besides grandpa and grandma. BOSS.

P.S. I wish you good luck.

Thanks for sharing your observations, Jake. I know the parts you were talking about, but at least in one case, we were being eaten alive by mosquitos and wanted to get out of there. We didn’t have time to shoot it again, so we had to work with what we had. Like I said, this is my first shot at something like this. It’s hard to be spontaneous and not say um a lot or have a lot of pauses.
