And now…a message from playwright/filmmaker/actor Tyler Perry:

Hey everybody,

BIG ANNOUNCMENT.... Okay, so everywhere I go people are always asking me, "Tyler, how can I get in one of your plays, your movies or even on House of Payne?"

So here's what I've decided to do. You know that I love great singers and most of the people that I work with are singers. If you are a SINGER (SINGERS ONLY--no poetry, no rap--SINGERS ONLY) and you think that you have what it takes to be in one of my shows here is what you need to do.

Please follow these instructions very carefully because we have set a system in place. So you have to follow them to the letter.

1. Send a video of you singing one song.
2. The song must be sung a cappella--no music, no tracks, no band--just your voice.
3. Before you start to sing the song you must say your full name, phone number and age.
4. You must be 18 years or older by May 18, 2007.
5. The song that you sing has to be either from one of my plays or one of my movies (no exceptions).
6. You are the only one that can be on the video.
7. The video must be in either VHS tape format or DVD 8. Mail the video via regular US Mail. No Fedex, No UPS, No registered mail.

The mailing address to send the mail to is:

TYLER PERRY STUDIOS
541 10th St. PMB 122
ATLANTA GA 30318

Sorry your videos WILL NOT BE RETURNED TO YOU.

NO FEDEX OR REGISTERED MAIL ONLY REGULAR MAIL

Also your image and video may be used on a live taping of one of my shows.

The contest deadline is May 18, 2007 and we must have all videos in by then and they will not be accepted after that date.

All of the best videos will be reviewed by me personally. The top ten will be invited to Atlanta for the final competition where all ten contestants will get a chance to compete. Everyone will also get a chance to vote online at TylerPerry.com in the upcoming weeks.

This is going to be FUN!!! Okay, let me hear from you.

By the way I DO NOT HAVE A MYSPACE PAGE. The only way to get to me is on my message board at http://TylerPerry.com/messageboard
