Voice of the Nation - Ring

Ring is on the hunt to find the first ever Scottish voice of its devices. The smart home security company is launching its Voice of the Nation casting search across Scotland in a first for the brand.

Ring is holding auditions at Silverburn in Glasgow to find one lucky Scot who will record a set of audio messages called ‘Quick Replies’ that will be available across all Ring Video Doorbells in the UK later this year. Ring’s Quick Replies are available on all Ring Video Doorbells and act as an answering machine for the door. Once activated and someone rings the doorbell the visitor will hear a pre-selected greeting with the option to leave a message. 

Glasgow residents can audition by simply sharing a video of themselves saying a popular Ring Doorbell Quick Reply: “We can’t answer the door right now but if you’d like to leave a message you can do it now.” and post on TikTok or Instagram share through their Ring device and Ring app or attend an in-person audition held at Silverburn Glasgow on 14 to 15 September.

The search will be judged by a panel which will include Scottish radio DJ and television presenter Edith Bowman who will help select Ring’s ‘Voice of the Nation’. It's the first time Ring has worked with a member of the public to voice its Video Doorbell Quick Replies and the first time a Scottish accent will be heard on Ring Video Doorbells. 

Auditions will officially open form Wednesday 21st August at 12 pm. Members of the public can share a video of their recorded audition on TikTok by posting their clip with #RingVoiceoftheNation or on Instagram by sharing and tagging @RingUK alongside #RingVoiceoftheNation. Those with a Ring device and Ring Protect can enter by recording themselves filming their greeting on a Ring device pressing the ‘Share’ button on the Ring app and choosing ‘Share with Ring’. 

In addition to Silverburn in Glasgow on 14 and 15 September from 10am-4pm Ring’s Voice of the Nation pop-up auditions will visit:

·        St James Quarter in Edinburgh: Saturday 31 August and Sunday 1 September 10am-6pm
