HELP WITH I WOULD BE A:

No Sound

If you have no speakers or can’t hear Joe Buck for some reason, do not fret. All the instructions are written in each step. The first step is to select your team, then follow the written instructions from there.

Minimum Video Length

You won’t be able to move onto Step 3 without having at least 25 seconds worth of clips chosen for your favorite team. If you’re insistent on having only 9 seconds of clips, consider repeating them for emphasis, perhaps.

Adding Music

You must select a music track to move onto Step 4. If you don’t want any music distracting from your powerful, inspiring narration, select the “No Music” track, and we’ll be silent while you tell your story.

Adding Your Voice

In step 4, you’ll need to call in to record your narration. You can’t skip this step, because this is what MLB® Dreams is all about: Your Story. Be sure to leave your screen up and running when calling, you don’t want to have to start over. Joe Buck will walk you through the process when you call in.

You will only have 2 chances to record or re record, so make sure you’re ready. If you don’t get it right in those 2 chances, start at step one again, and you’ll get a new PIN by time you reach step 4. When you’re ready to submit it, just hang up, and it should be ready to review in a few minutes. Look to see the “Voice Added” box to changed to checked, and that’s when you can preview your video with your own voice, and move onto step 5.

Submitting

Your video will be ready to view the within 48 hours. We will send you a confirmation E-Mail so you know when to start voting on your video, and to tell your friends to do the same.

If your video does not get approved, and you don’t see it after 48 hours,we suggest you try again, because you can make as many tribute videos as you want here at MasterCard’s MLB® Dreams.
