Auditions for first ever Irish voice to feature on video doorbells to take place in Dublin
Auditions will take place in Dublin this weekend to find the first ever Irish voice to feature on video doorbells.
Home security company Ring will have auditions online and in Liffey Valley Shopping Centre this weekend.
Quick Replies will be available across all Ring Video Doorbells in Ireland early next year.
Ring’s Quick Replies act as an answering machine for your front door. Once activated in the Ring app, a visitor that rings the doorbell will hear a pre-selected greeting with the option to leave a message.
Auditions in Irish are also welcomed by saying the following phrase: “Dia dhuit! Ní féidir linn an doras a oscailt faoi láthair, ach más mian leat teachtaireacht ghearr a fhágáil is féidir leat é sin a dhéanamh anois.”
Research carried out as part of this project revealed 55 per cent of people in Ireland say they love their accent and wouldn’t change it to anything else.
27 per cent of Dubliners said they prefer their own accent over any other Irish accent.
