Audition Tape Assignment

BIG BROTHER 13 AUDITION TAPE

 

 

This is my attempt at getting cast for Big Brother 13. There weren't many restrictions on the audition tape other than keeping it under 3 minutes, contestants are asked to be 21 or older, and to keep cursing at a minimum. Suggestions by the casting director were simple...be yourself and avoid gimmicks such as costumes, movie monologues, and singing performances. I went with more of a funny style of video hoping it would appeal to any one watching.
