Get your Espanol catchphrases and over-the-top "Gooooaaallll!" calls ready, ESPN Deportes is looking for Sportscenter talent in Miami.
The sports network is coming to Miami in search of the next great futbol (soccer) reporter to join ESPN Deportes as part of their "Dream Job: El Reportero" reality show.
Tryouts will be held tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Yuca Restaurant at 501 Lincoln Rd in Miami Beach. No reporting or TV or radio experience is necessary, but mastery of the Spanish language is a must.
A panel of judges, led by soccer expert Jorge Ramos, will rate entrants on a series of tasks, including sideline reporting, one-on-one interviews and voicing over highlight reels. Videos of the contestants may be used on ESPN Deportes.
Mauricio Pedroza, the winner of "Dream Job's" first season, was hired as a permanent reporter for SportsCenter. This year's winner will not only get to cover the 2010 World Cup, but they'll also get a 2010 Ford Fusion.
ESPN will also be looking for talent in New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago & Dallas.
