Reality TV Videos and Applications
Even live auditions require that contestants fill out an application.
Applications are part of the auditioning process and usually indicate your age, where you grew up, why you want to be on the show and other identifiable characteristics. Live auditions are often taped so that producers and casting directors can look back and review auditions as they see fit. Thus, videos and applications are a huge part of the auditioning process and this is certainly true for online and mail submitted auditions for reality television. If you are unable to attend a live audition it is likely that in order to audition you will need to send in a video to the show.
Videos are a popular tool for casting directors and are the best way to get a sense of how a person appears on camera. After all, Reality TV shows are seen on television and how a person carries them self or appears onscreen, is an important aspect of casting for Reality television. Videos and applications are often sent in the mail or uploaded online onto casting forums for the shows website.
Videos - What to Include
When auditioning for Reality TV via video there are some things you should include and others that you shouldn't. Videos tend to be between 1-3 minutes in length. Remember that casting directors and producers are looking for short, sweet videos that indicate what makes you unique or special. If you are applying for a talent-based Reality TV show, you best include the appropriate talent. Videos shouldn't be too long and producers suggest trying to include just a few special things about yourself as opposed to your life's entire autobiography.
Other suggestions include not over-rehearsing your video and being as spontaneous and natural as possible.
