As you may know I am a serial auditionee, may due to the fact that I like to grasp opportunities. Rather uncalculated in judgement sometimes. But believe me, the challenges that comes with it is enjoyable and the lengthy behind the process is sometimes a surprise.
But if you ever mention golden keywords to me such as audition, casting calls and so on, my eyes will sparkle and I am all ears. Now I am going to divulge you which TV shows are worst to audition for based on my experiences.
1 Big Brother
One of the worst of the worst auditions if you would like to be cattled into a group of around 20 people that have been pre screened to have all the colours of personalities available within a room. You will start to question why you have never seen someone dressed like this in real life. A natural occurrent is that you are all pressured to shine out amongst all the others in hope that you would be selected for the next round and suddenly everyone became not themselves. You are likely to get chosen if say you are a self proclaimed cougar who proclaims her love for younger men or being extremely odd or having an uncontrolled tongue that will cook up very good arguments.
2 Take Me Out
I got a notion that most people who has ever been on any sort of dating shows would regret that decision, well unless they have actually fell in love with some amazing person of their dreams on the show, which is highly unlikely. During the audition, you will pretend as if you are on the show and press a self imagined buzzer in front of you when you agree with the prospect in front of you. Unfortunately, none was of my taste and rather on the side of misfits instead. Well I had other intentions anyway and dating on TV would be not favourable.
3 Skins Season 2
I think Skins counts as more of a TV Drama of certain explicitly. I was attending the casting call to get a speaking role in this TV Drama. All the auditionees were divided in a small group of around 5-8 people and whoever stood out the most among monologues will get a filmed audition with the casting production. Well after I passed that round, I got given a script to learn, it had a lot of swearing and obviously it was very hard for me to speak those inelegant words and as a matter of fact really didn’t believe that I can play the character well.
4 Signed by Katie Price
So I have passed the producer rounds auditions and then was taken to producer rooms in groups, in my group, I was up against 3 blond girls, a brunette girl and a guy. We were encouraged to deliver sob stories where as possible, questioned about our modelling experiences and our honest opinion about Katie Price.
On one task that we had to do, the guy was asked to arrange the girls in order of attractiveness which, he put me as first and then just swapped the brunette with a blond, and that helped producers decide who to put through to the next rounds, so surprisingly only me and the guy got chosen to see the judges but there was a catch as the next round was talking to researchers that would decide a phone call later in the evening to confirm being selected and told to be ready to cat walk in front of hundreds at a mall the next day.
As you can see you, there were really loads of people there. My first catwalk in front of Katie Price and panel was in normal clothes and they will decide whether they want to see you in bikini. The walk ends with a pose to the camera that will project the photo on a large screen for the people to see, rather daunting.
5 Sing Date
Again another dating shows except this one involved singing which I like quite much. The first audition involved singing on Skype to a producer and then you get asked a few questions regarding your dating life. Anyhow, would you even actually expect someone to fall in love with you by singing to them? You will be singing to each other in hope that either one will fall for the trick. I do think some people like the idea of being serenaded with a song or two, quite endearing isn’t it? Well anyway, I noted that I wouldn’t dare to audition for suchlike shows again.
