Neal’s Signature Sound: The Augenstein Impression Challenge
It’s a one-of-a-kind contest for a one-of-a-kind voice!
You’ve heard Neal Augenstein’s signature sign-off — after all, who hasn’t? It’s pretty memorable. And now, that signature sign-off could give you the chance to win your own custom message from Neal himself — and $1,000 donation to the American Lung Association in Neal’s honor!
All you have to do to enter is:
1.) Open the WTOP News app, available on either Apple or Android
2.) Click on the WTOP Feedback tool on the bottom navigation bar
3.) Choose “Send Photo or Video”
4.) Under “to” select, “Contests” and then choose either “use camera” to record your video right then and there or “saved library” to choose a video you’ve already taken.
5.) Give your very best impersonation of a Neal Augenstein sign-off, add a message and hit “Send”.
Enter from Monday, January 27 at 10 A.M. through Friday, February 28 at 3PM.
Pro tip: Record your video first and save it in your camera, then upload it. This gives you as many opportunities as you need to get it “just right.”
Recording instructions: The video should only show individuals that you have the express permission (or their parent’s/legal guardian’s if any individuals are minors) to include in the video. Show the speaker’s full face.
Please make sure to use this script, speaking to the camera, but feel free to add your own twist:
“Hi I’m {first name} and I live in {city}. This is my Neal Augenstein impression: Reporting live, Neal Augenstein, WTOP News.”
To be eligible, each video must not be longer than 15 seconds. Have a little fun with this!
Good luck and may the best Neal Augenstein impersonator win!
