trying out for "the real world"
 

call me crazy gang, but i'm auditioning for the tenth season of "the real world". my mother thinks i'm nuts *and as a therapist, her opinion scares me*, my father doesn't watch it, so he doesn't care and everyone else i've told says "oh, you'd be PERFECT for the real world...you have that...look."

well, i'd like to know who ELSE might be considering auditioning for the show. i don't know anyone else who is, but i'd like to...so if you're thinking of auditioning, post back! even if you're not, tell me what you think about all this....

That - sounds - NEAT! I have thought about it more times that you would imagine. I brought it up again recently, and my boyfriend gave me "The Look." He has decided that everyone on the show has to have an "issue" to get freaked out about, and mine would be him. You should GO FOR IT! You have to submit a tape right? When is the deadline - what is the address (see, now my wheels are turning). If I think of some grand plan for a SUPER TAPE, I'll let you know.

When I was in college MTV came to our town to do auditions. This was five years ago!!!! I don't know if the procedure has changed, but you did not submit a tape. They set up at a local restaurant, and had a "booth" like on the show. You filled out paperwork about yourself, they snapped a Polaroid or you gave them your head shots, and then you sat in the booth for a couple of minutes and talked about yourself while they taped you.

Then they had callbacks in about ten days!

So.... that's my input. I say go for it! But only if you can still post at the Greek Chat while you are there. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I must admit I like the Real World, I have never thought of trying out because at this point I'm a little to old http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif but I think you should really go for it. Let us know if you make it!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif

I think you should go for it! They came to my campus too about 3 years ago. I heard the crowd was crazy!! Well if you guys are avid fans, you all know that the girl Lindsay from the Seattle show, was from my school (UofMich). It was weird seeing her around campus after the show. She'd be in the library or the computer lab and I just couldn't help staring like "oh my god, that's Lindsay". http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Anyway, you should go for it. Personally I don't think I could be on that show. Someone always has a major issue and I like to live drama free! I mean, can you imagine being on the show when like Ruthie was on there? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif That's too much for me to handle up close and personal like that.

Hey if you do it and make it, you have thank all of us at G.C. for helping you in your decision http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

i'm definately doing it, and don't know when deadlines are. i've ben checking www.bunim-murray.com everyday to see if casting information is up yet. i'll probably have to send in a tape, which means that i'll have to bum a video camera off someone. i'll also need to fill out a questionnaire. and you can ALL guarantee that if i were to make it *which is SO highly unlikely give the odds, but you never know*, greekchat will be my main forum as always. i'll keep you on the up and up. and if you've got any ideas that DON'T involve nudity *i have some wicked tan lines right now* let me know!

fraternally,

Real World, more like Soap Opera. My roommate tried out. He sent out a video tape with footage from star wars. It was really cool and funny. From what I've herd, he didn't have enoug issues to get in. I know I could never get in. If I did, it would be the most boring Real World in history. Just see me sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, etc. Free room and board, I would sleep all day. Only problem I have is my three girlfriends from the planet Venus. Oh wait, that is for Ricki Lake.

well guys, the information has been posted and i'm formulating my videotape as we speak. very excited and i'll let you know how the tape goes and when i send it...and if i get a reply! cross your fingers for me!

Good Luck to you. They came here to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Theo from Road Rules this season is a student here at LSU. I would love to try out myself,but I'm too old

So has anyone else thought of auditioning for the Real World/Road Rules.

I've considered it, but if I do it I'd want to wait till after I'm finished with school (next May), because if I did get on by some miracle, I would not want to have to take time off of school to go.

does anyone know where the next Real World season is taking place? I've heard everything from Chicago to Vegas.

New York City, I believe in Harlem specifically. I might be wrong about that but I know it's NYC. I'm surprised they haven't been to Chicago yet.

I would've thought that MTV would pick a city that hasn't been done yet. I think they did Real World NYC for the first season ever back in the early 90's. I'm really surprised that they haven't done Chicago or Houston or Atlanta.

MTV is going to do two seasons of Real World within a few months of each other. I read that this summer's edition is in Harlem and they're doing another one to air in January in Chicago.

They've already done two in Cali and now two in NY. It's only my opinion but it kinda sucks that there are so many cool cities that they haven't even considered.

I've convinced a friend to try-out with me
all of which has been inspired by you guys

We're going to co-produce each others little videos
so that should be advantageous - slightly

I've never watched a winning tape
Have any of you
mail me, or post any tips you might have
or creative little ideas for the film

Thanks
Cory

I'm going to go ahead and film it
or at least come up with the ideas

I know there is no auditions right now
but I just wanna make a video regardless
and I'm not sure where the next place is to be

I don't think I would do it until after I finished school. I just wouldn't probably want to leave the place I was living and then not want to go back to school. LOL.
Personally I think they should try out places like Chicago, Minneapolis, San Antonio, Phoenix, Kansas City, or St. Louis.
I dunno. I'm from Nebraska and I know they'd never come here...but I'd like to see a more Midwestern type city. Chicago is close but still too big, that's why I put K.C. on the list.

I think that they should do DC and get them all jobs as gophers for some senator or something...nothing too hard so they don't screw it up. But, definitly DC!!!!I also think they should do some crazy weird city, like Jackson Hole during the winter, or Nashville--you know like a real city so it wouldn't be boring but not a major US city

I went to two casting calls last year:
The first one was in Boulder Colorado - it was SO busy that they ran out of time before calling my number (I think I was like #530 or something).
The second one was in Tampa Florida. It was fun! No bite, though http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif Maybe next season.

Faced with the Divine, I was asked; "What one gift do you seek?"
I answered ever so meekly; "I seek Honor, Truth, Integrity, and Wisdom, yet those are four. How am I to choose?"
The answer came as a pounding whisper; "The four you seek are but one. I grant thee Compassion; for without it the four make none."
