Advice for auditioning?

[Sod_James]

Ok so heres the deal. i want to audition for BB9 and it will be my first audition. i was gonna audition last year but 1. i coudlnt be botherd and 2. i didnt have the money to travel to my nearest venue (London)

Had anyone here ever been to an audition before? if so what can i expect? Should i get there like really early or just turn up when it opens?

What do ya all reackon?

Be yourself, bring the "novelty" that the producers want, don't be harsh or rude. Just special but not too much, and not too "normal" too.

Cool, yeh, what do you think there looking for this year?

Be yourself- because your true self will come out in the end anyway.

As Chrizzle says, do be yourself. I think that's really important. Perhaps aspects of yourself you can enhance and emphasise for the cameras - but that should be the full extent of it, despite the fact that BB is more and more profoundly becoming a platform for aspiring celebs rather than people there purely for the experience.

If you're not yourself, and your true personality comes out as the weeks go on (which it most probably will do), you'll prove yourself to be inconsistent, as well as quite fake.

Well i do plan to be myself but im just worried that if i am myself they will think im boring and wont pick me. I dont think im an average person but at the same time i do think im extremly weird.

Don't bother going in fancy dress, because it never works. Be honest, but not too honest. The producers don't just want to hear what sort of people that you hate, say the sorts of people that you like. Tell them your qualities/phobias etc. Arrive early, but not too early. Wear wintery clothes, because it will be cold and take plenty to eat and drink because you could be waiting there a while.
