How do I apply for Survivor?
I am very reluctant to show anyone how to do this because
it will decrease my chances of getting on the show. BUT, I will do this for the
betterment of the casting in hopes of creating a better show.
First you have to be 18. In some states you have to have to
be a little bit older, but that information is on the casting website. Which
you can find here.
Once you get to the casting website, it is pretty self-explanatory,
but they will ask you tons of different questions, such as:
What is your height? What is your weight? Highest level of
education? Are you single? What’s your ethnicity? Etc. There will be drop down
menus which you can choose from.
They will also ask you to upload of picture of yourself, I would use a glamour shot. BUT, if you want to stand out, maybe you could use a
wacko one where you are cross-eyed. Whatever tickles your fancy.
All of that stuff is pretty easy until you get to the three
minute video. One of the hardest parts is how the video is supposed to look. Now get that out of your head. There
is no “supposed to” for Survivor. I
have researched and read so much about this. The bottom line is BE YOU. Don’t
try too hard. Go somewhere comfortable and talk about yourself.
**You also have to do this all in one sitting. So make sure
you have your video and picture ready to upload**
It would be helpful to have some editing skills (or find someone
who does) to be able to put together multiple shots in your casting video. As
interesting as the most interesting man in the world could be, no one wants to
watch him talk about himself for three minutes on the same shot. BORING.
You can also go to any open casting calls. I have applied
before and I went to Black Hawk Colorado for mine! It was my first time
applying, and it was awful!! 18 year old Sherri would NOT (and did not) have made the cut.
So that is how you apply for Survivor! Be sure to do it in
the fall or in the spring. That is when the casting directors really look for
people (or so I've heard). Stay tuned for my next post tomorrow where I will be filling out the application and posting it! you will be able to see what my application looks like.
