This One's For the Sexy People

DO YOU HAVE THE ULTIMATE BEDROOM VOICE?

MAXIM AND SIRIUS ANNOUNCE OPEN CASTING CALLS TO FIND 'THE SEXIEST VOICE IN AMERICA'

Winner Will be Featured in Maxim Radio Promotional Spots and IDs and Receive $1000

NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES - Are people willing to pay to listen to your voice? Do total strangers call your answering machine over and over again just to hear you say you're not home? Then Maxim Radio wants you!

Maxim Radio, heard exclusively on SIRIUS Satellite Radio, is holding simultaneous open casting calls in New York City and Los Angeles to find the "Sexiest Voice in America" on Wednesday, March 2nd.

Here is one contest where it does not matter what you look like, how you sing or if you can kiss up to Donald Trump! One sultry woman's or smooth-talkin' man's voice will be featured on Maxim Radio promotional spots and IDs while taking home a cool $1,000.

Contestants are invited to bring 30 seconds of their own material to read at the auditions - it can be anything from self-help to War and Peace (as long as there is no cursing or vile language).

Maxim Radio celebrity hosts will comment on the entries in terms of sexiness, uniqueness, delivery, tone and suitability for use. Beginning March 7, 2005, visitors to Maxim Online (www.maximonline.com) for one week will be able to hear audio clips of the finalists' entries and click their votes. The winner will be announced on Maxim Radio on Monday, March 21, 2005.

Bud Light is the official sponsor for Maxim Radio's search for the "Sexiest Voice in America."

Contestants can bring their sexy voices to either one of the two casting calls:

* NEW YORK CITY: SIRIUS Satellite Radio, 1221 Avenue of the Americas (at 48th Street). Auditions start at 9 am ET. No more people will be allowed on the audition line at 2 pm.

* LOS ANGELES: House of Blues, Sunset Strip. Auditions start at 11 am PT. No more people will be allowed on the audition line at 3 pm.

Contestants must be at least 21 years old to enter and legal residents of the United States. The casting calls occur rain or shine.
