Whilst ground breaking reality TV programmes have graced our small screens in various forms almost since the dawning of television, never have they been as dominant as in the past decade. The first series of Big Brother proved to be a phenomenon that made instant celebrities out of everyday members of the public and other reality TV shows since have continued the trend. They have also been career enhancing to both minor celebrities hoping to gain much needed exposure and those on the way down from previous heights.Fifteen minutes of fame are now desperately sought by thousands of applicants looking to make a name for themselves via the medium of reality TV, by which they then hope to consolidate their popularity and secure TV careers. As with acting auditions, places are heavily contended and 90% of audition tapes received by TV Executives are discarded in the first part of the selection process.Whilst the quality of audition tapes is key to reality TV applicants in order to make the all important first impression, applicants must be aware of playing by the rules in respect of running time, labelling, lighting, sound and editing. The auditions themselves are the time for applicants to really let rip and go for broke, as, by this point, TV executives have a clear picture of the types of larger than life characters they are looking for.At Audition Now, our text alert service covers reality TV auditions, and also gives you news on othe auditions and casting calls.
