How to audition for a reality show!

(from June 8,2008)

The other day I went to a really bogus audition. Figures it was from the Craig's List. It was for a reality show, actually to audition for a pilot for a reality show to be pitched to ABC networks. Here is the title of the show "The Party"! I'm not kidding.

Basically it is another reality show like Survivor where they "Cast" people off the island, only here it is at a party. I mean how many parties can you possibly have?? The best part was that the supposed casting director and his videographer were trying to push a course into our faces that they run.

The course in itself is a joke. It is a class that instructs you on "How to audition for a reality show!" It's like you have to be f'in kidding me! They were selling these courses for $100.00 and b/c we auditioned for them we can get it for the low price of $50.00! Yippee. I'm going to jump at that opportunity!

After having about 15 of us in a line in that audition room, the goes down the line and asks us "Why we would want to be cast for this show and what would make you the best candidate?”

Everyone answered as best as anyone could and replied that they are enthusiastic and like to party! The bald headed director then blasted us all saying that we all answered the question wrong!! Then again he started in with how we should take this course on "How to audition for a reality show!"

His partner and he go on how this course will change your life and if you join now you will be on the list for first pick on any upcoming reality shows! Unbelievable!!!

So this was a huge waste of my Sunday to go all the way into the city with this blasted heat. All this guy was interested in was selling his course and picking up the 5"9, 26 year old attractive model with rasinettes for breasts.


It is just such a huge disappointment to waste time on this bogus auditions like this. In the ad they “claimed” they were looking for average people from the age range from 18-60 years old! No Models or specific body types. Yet it all seems to go down to the Model of the group to be the eye candy and overall winner!

When the bald headed director came up to the model with raisinettese for breasts and asked her why she would be good for the show, she replied “Because I’m beautiful!”

The worst part is that the attractive young blond with not much to say will probably get the part. Of course I who have the talent, gets cast out even before I get a chance to get cast.

I give everything a fair chance and try out for so many things because you never know, though this farce of an audition makes Last Comic Standing auditions have merit!

Enough said. This heat is outrageous. Keep Cool.
