i think if people have uploaded a video they are at an advantage to those who choose to go to an open audition.
1. they have already seen you
2. they can watch your video over and over again.
3. sounds like you only have 1 mins at a open auditon to sell yourself and you do what they say !!!
4. if they do call you back they can get loads out of you over the phone before you go to an open audition so they already know a bit about you.

This is a new way to get noticed! We'll be looking at all your videos and selecting people we'd like to see more of and inviting them to EXCLUSIVE invitation only auditions days. Dates announced soon???

[davina1973]

no ther is'nt at all read on



A close friend of mine posted an audition video on YouTube and was subsequently contacted by BB who did a telephone interview and told them they'd get back to them. They then invited them down to the Auditions at London Excel centre saying there'd be a secret YouTuber's audition meeting ...

They have rung my friend back this evening and said "Congratulations, Big Brother is interested in you" and my friend replied "I know, you told me that before". The BB woman then asked my friend to be at Excel early on Saturday and that they want all their London and surrounding YouTuber's at the front. My friend asked if they got taken to a special room or something for the meeting away from the regular open auditionees like they was earlier told about and was told No by the producer.

The producer then said to my friend "No, you just queue too" and my friend (auditioned twice before at BB8 & BB9 open auditions) said "Well that's no different to what I've done in previous years. Do we still have to be judged by teenagers who will stamp our hand if they like us?" and the producer said yes so my friend then said "Well, what's the difference between the YouTube and open auditions then? I could just turn up instead of making a video and get through instead if I'd wanted". The producer then told my friend that there was no difference really, and "are you coming on Saturday?" so my friend then told the producer to stuff it, they're not queueing after all the phonecall interview and posting and making the video, anyway they don't do queues. My friend then went onto say to the producer "Is this all a publicity scam then?" and the producer hung up.

So basicaly, the online auditions are a hoax. If you get contacted by BB there are no special online only audition days are promise or fast tracked to the diary room stage as my friend was also told. If you submit a YouTube video and get contacted you still have to go to the audition venue, play the silly games and try and get your hand stamped so there is no actual point in submitting the videos as you can do that anyway ...

What a farce!

I think it is an advantage, they will probably select the people who get the most views on there.

[davina1973]

i know what your saying but the two phonecalls and what theve said to them dont add up, so whats the point of doing a youtube vid if they just say turn up + why interview them as well then say just turn up seems strange to me, why interview someone who might not get past the first stage?

Wow a thread that you have answered all yourself.

If you turned up to the audition and talked to yourself as much as you do here you'd definitely get in and be this years mentally unstable one
