Real World 25 - Casting

[QUOTE=journalme;178114]I know you guys are upset but its like a one in 200,000 of a chance anyway, plus in an "realitywanted" interview with Damon Furberg (director of casting)... he was asked if he thought the open casting calls gave people a fair shot? And he responded that its about charisma and "if you cant make an impression in 4 or 5 minutes than you cant carry a whole season." This being said I feel like their looking for indviduals who are layered with more than 1 issue facing them. Also charisma and attractiveness also play a role. Also the ability to being articulate, be relatable, sincere, and totally honest is considered. ---- just some food for thought[/QUOTE] Totally agreed... I read all about that interview, you know that... and like I said, I'm not complaining one bit about any of this...you do your homework, and you attend the auditions with a level head on your shoulders and basically, if it's meant to be, then everything will just fall into place. No need to make up lies or try to change yourself. That's why I stated that I'm going to be prepared for season 26, and I think all these other individuals out there that are basically "crying" because they didn't make it. They need to grow up, and look on the bright side...you learn more every season about what they want. They want the real you! So use that to your advantage. With that being said, stop crying, heads up, and live on lol

[QUOTE=journalme;178116]You're still contraditing yourself because you want to use the show for fame "propeling you career" --- just saying =D[/QUOTE] Oh come on... lol I'm full of contradictions. That's just who I am lol...and I'm not saying I want to use the show for fame. I want to use the show as my open door to a better future. Not to be famous, I could care less. I just want to go to college and have a good career, and I believe the show would get my ideas out there that maybe a potential business owner would see and say "hey this bright young individual seems to have what I want" I will hire him lol. Anyway, you get the point. No fame here.

[QUOTE=Spribble1989;178115]Also if you actually use your head and try to think about what I said, I would use the show to my advantage. I am a very good artist, and I have a lot of fantastic ideas, which I would love to share with the viewers in hopes that someone out there can get a hold of me, maybe for a job interview? Things like that...any other typical reason why others would want to be on the show... so there's your answer.[/QUOTE] Wait...you want to be on the Real World to try and GET job interviews? Good luck with that.

Lol, wow, yes that is a reason. Is that bad? But also that is not the only reason, as I had already stated. Re-read if you would like. I don't wanna be on the show to "party". I do not drink. So yes, I would use the show for more professional reasons.

So yes, I would use the show for more professional reasons.[/QUOTE] OK first off, I'm not a dude. Second, do not ask me "*** is my problem". I have no "problem". I would just like to point out a good amount of people on the last few seasons are either unemployed or bartenders. So if you're planning on making a career as a "mixologist" (hey, they don't have to drink) then you could be perfect. For the most part, employers see a negative connotation associated with the Real World. I think it's pretty clear that after the ratings debacle that was Real World DC, they don't plan on going toward a serious season any time soon. So if you say you don't drink and you want to use RW for professional reasons...you're not getting on. And frankly, I don't want or need to reread what you're saying. Despite your poor grammar and punctuation, I understand you fine.

And the reason behind my "poor grammar" is the fact that im a very stubborn person who has a tendency of getting ahead of myself while I am typing, thus resulting in "poor grammar." And as far as the show getting "low ratings" I totally agree with you. It seems that people partying and drinking brings in better ratings. And I do not drink, and I refuse to do so. So if the show chooses not to continue after season 26, then I am fine with that. Maybe in the future they will try to be more serious and more professional with their casting. No hard feelings against you. I understand your point. Now let's just laugh this off and keep our heads straight with the topic. Agreed?

I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE FRIENDS AND LOVE EACH OTHER =]. Honestly just saying, we should be the cast. We have enough drama within the forum in just one day. Imagine us in a house together for like 4 months?

And I don't stop until i satisfy my anger by wearing myself out, or something getting broken lol maybe a few holes in the walls

So party like season?

[QUOTE=molds13;177808]I have my sources.[/QUOTE] All this talk is about the east coast & finals, what about the WEST coast & finals? Are they done with picking people from west coast?ha :-p

[QUOTE=Coop Troop;178190]All this talk is about the east coast & finals, what about the WEST coast & finals? Are they done with picking people from west coast?ha :-p[/QUOTE] I know the east coast and south finals were last weekend im guessing the north and west are this weekend

I wouldn't go so far to say that this season will be a "serious season"...could be wrong though ;) I think that honestly they have figured out they need a good balance and I think this season is going to have just that..hopefully :)

[QUOTE=RWHelper;178437]I wouldn't go so far to say that this season will be a "serious season"...could be wrong though ;)[/QUOTE] From the tapes that I have seen, they are not going for a serious season at all.

[QUOTE=molds13;178440]From the tapes that I have seen, they are not going for a serious season at all.[/QUOTE] Yeah I'm hopeful that this season will be a good balance from the people I know in the semis...

[QUOTE=journalme;178539]Yeah I'm hopeful that this season will be a good balance from the people I know in the semis...[/QUOTE] Yeah I hope they balance it out.. i believe there are 8 semi finals... 8 people at each semi final, soooo they should pick 1 person from each semi final.. haha good balance i would say lol

8 isn't the correct number, but close ;)

[QUOTE=RWHelper;178686]8 isn't the correct number, but close ;)[/QUOTE] There's going to be 7 people?! :D

[QUOTE=Youssarian;178688]There's going to be 7 people?! :D[/QUOTE] 8 times 7 equals (56) I believe there are 56 people in the semi-finals and no O think there are gonna be 8 people in the house this year :(

Yeah I was only commenting on how many people for the Semi-Finals, not the actual cast number that will be selected

They pay to send 56 people out to LA? That's a lot.

[QUOTE=icubaby;178735]They pay to send 56 people out to LA? That's a lot.[/QUOTE] Haha not for that big of a company, and also the amount they can make just filming the show. They've got plenty.

[QUOTE=CannotTellU;178723]I believe 56 people make it to finals -- not semi-finals. After semi-finals, they come up with 7 groups of 8 people...and whichever collective group is the best is the one that they choose to film.[/QUOTE] Well I just figured that because I heard about 8 semi finals, and that they lasted from 10am to 6pm and the actual individual interviews lasted from 45 mins to an hour... so I just did the math and assumed.

So umm the casting call out in Seattle WA: there was 6 people that made it to the video taping audition and one was a guy and the rest were girls...so I was wondering if anyone might know when they're gonna call back for the semis.. Can you please let me know? Thanks.

Damn don't say that...I can't go out like that when the 5 other people were girls...

no like really be honest..he said about two weeks to call back..so i mean... and it hasnt been two weeks exactly yet but idk

[QUOTE=kenken;179122]Damn don't say that...I can't go out like that when the 5 other people were girls...[/QUOTE] Well, you did ask.

[strike]ya your right hope my chances are not out yet..cuzz this would be crazy if i got that call.. like i feel the girls arnt my comp..cuzz how many different citys did they go to.. and theres so many girls to choose from and theres only one guy from seattle to make it to the end..so i mean..if anything i think i stand out then the girls do[/strike] Yeah you're right. I hope my chances are not out yet, because it would be crazy if I got that call. I feel like the girls aren't my competition. Because how many different cities did they go to? And there's so many girls to choose from and there's only one guy from Seattle to make it to the end. So I mean, if anything I think I stand out more than the girls do.
