Be honest and open. Also if there's a way you can highlight any struggles you've had in your life that helps. It seems like a lot of people who get on the Real World have overcome something or are dealing with personal conflict. Please don't take this the wrong way, but since you are a minority it should help since RW is always looking for minorities and people to fit specific character molds.

If you can demonstrate in your tape that you are a ________ (fill in the blank with some sort of character) then it is sure to help them out to see you as one of the people on the show.

So if I tell them I'm an angry Black woman there's a good chance I'll get on? LOL

hahaha...it helped in Coral's case

All seriousness though, I know when you build a reality show you look for things that would create conflict. In all reality who wants to watch a show where everyone gets along? So in some ways it might help, but instead of being the "angry black woman" you could be the "black woman extremely proud of your heritage".

I think I'll just stick to being me. I am a Black woman, can't/won't deny that. I'm still thinking about submitting a tape.

You might as well try, if I didn't think I'd be portrayed as the naive white girl from the suburbs I'd try too.

Soror I say the best thing for you to do is go to an open cast call. I tried the video tape thing and chances are you won't be picked that way cause they have like millions of tapes. I originally wanted to be on road rules before they started the voting off people rule. You can go to the BurimMurray(I think that's it.) Site and find out about open cast calls.

Co-sign with the above statement. I submitted a tape the year that they went to New Orleans, but people I knew who went to open casting calls got further along in the process than I did.

Well soror, unless your tape is HIGHLY creative, you just may have to wait in line. Sowwy.

I have been wanting to be on the Real World since I was about 14. I love that show, more then then now. I think that the show is more staged now and the stopped putting REAL people on it. Like the girls and even some of the guys look like models now. And most of the "black" people people are mixed. The cast is just more aware of the cameras and they have seen enough seasons to know what to do and what will give them more air time.

So how far have you gotten Epitome?

And anyone else who is trying to get selected.

TheEpitome1920 · #15 07-30-2004, 09:11 PM

I am still trying to decide what to do. I would really prefer to send in the tape, not a fan of standing in lines...(despite everyone's suggestion that I stand in line,lol)
