<\/p>\n

Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler said: Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler said: \u201cI am delighted to help launch this campaign with visitbirmingham.com. Commentary involves a lot of technique which can be learned. But the main requirement is a love for football and a passion for talking about it. Don\u2019t be shy and have a go. You never know what it might lead to.”<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Budding commentators are encouraged to visit www.visitbirmingham.com<\/a>, where they will be redirected to a video clip. To be in with the chance of winning this money -can\u2019t-buy prize, children need to create an audio or video file [links to YouTube also accepted] with their own commentary to the footage supplied and send their entries to voiceoffootball@hatchcommunications.co.uk<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
