How to Audition For Big Brother!



How to Audition for Big Brother: TIPS from Big Brother Casting Director!

We love Big Brother here at Celebrity Smack, and we ran across an interview with the Casting Director Robyn Kass that we thought you might find interesting if you ever want to audition for the show.

‘Tis the season, and Big Brother producers are looking for the next cast of Big Brother as we speak. So what do you need to know before your Big Brother audition? Read on and see what Robyn Kass has to say.

Big Brother Network: What tends to grab your attention the most in an audition?

Robyn Kass: It’s pretty easy to tell when someone is trying too hard. It’s difficult to explain, but we can tell if you’ve rehearsed what you’re gonna say. Don’t do it. Come in fresh minded, but willing to open up and talk. If we ask you a question, give explanations and stories to back up what you’ve said. We like examples…. if you say “I’m controversial” our next question will probably be “great, give us an example of being controversial….” that’s when there’s usually a LONG pause. Don’t say things if you can’t back it up.

BBN: What are the top three things you’d recommend avoiding during an audition?

Robyn Kass: 1. Avoid one word answers….. “So, it says on your application you have 7 sisters, wow”…. “yep”. We’ve just given you a huge opening to tell us about your big family and you answered with “yep”, happens all the time.

2. Avoid dressing in something that isn’t “YOU”. Please come to an audition dressed nice, I always say that, but dress in your style. If you’re not a suit and tie guy do not wear one. If you’re a girl who’s more comfortable in jeans, wear jeans and a cute top. You’ll do better in your audition if you look good, feel good and are comfortable.

3. Remember, it’s not a job interview. You do not have to be “PC” with your answers. Don’t worry about offending us or keeping it “clean”, if you’re a person who cusses, go for it. We want to see the real you…. I always tell people to talk to me like they’re having beers with their closest friends.

BBN: Settle the age old question. Which gives applicants a better chance: in-person audition or video submission?

Robyn Kass: Really, it doesn’t matter. At this time in the game, season 13, we know what we want….. we watch every tape that comes in and we watch the open calls too, so wherever you feel more comfortable. Some people are more at ease at home, with their friends around and some people like to meet us in person, some like to do both. We’ve had contestants on BB who have applied every way possible, so no right answer.

BBN: What’s the one thing you wish every applicant knew going in to his or her audition?

Robyn Kass: I like every person to be unique. I just wish everyone would relax and have a good time. Nothing worse than leaving an interview thinking “I wish I said this or that”.

There are three ways to audition for Big Brother:

Whatever you chose, we wish you luck and hope to see you on Big Brother 13!
