Reality TV is now a mainstay in our lives. It also just happens to be the best way for actors to get their start in Hollywood.



Many of the participants in reality TV shows are simply actors trying to get some air time. Though not all of these upcoming actors receive fame and fortune by appearing in reality shows, they all do receive some general recognition at the very least.

Those most likely to reach stardom from reality shows are participants in talent searches such as American Idol – Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson being a great example. These might not seem like the type of contests that actors would get started in, but because being an actor involves more than just looking good on camera, focusing on just one facet of your talent is a great way to set you apart from the crowd.

So if you’re serious about getting started in Reality TV, you need to first get yourself set up for the auditions.

You already know who the big names are – the major networks, Fox, ABC, NBC, and CBS – so pick the shows you would love to be on! Just make sure you have what it takes to be a major contestant, so if you can’t swim, skip Survivor, and if you can’t sing, don’t try American Idol, it’s not worth it.

Casting agents for the biggest network show post their reality show casting at selected online talent sites like New Faces Models and Talent at www.newfaces.com Because New Faces gets the information directly from the network casting agents and sites, the castings are always on NewFaces.com first. And you don’t have to go to a different source for each type of casting, New Faces brings together all the different genres in one place and has all the details on how and where to apply.

Many of these shows will allow for applicants to send in pictures or videos for consideration. Most reality shows will require applicants to fill out a detailed application before they can be considered. Some may also subject applicants to physical or mental tests during reality TV show auditions. For example, you can’t get on Survivor without these physical tests.

Once you get past the application process and make it into a reality show, be ready for a great deal of television exposure, which might just put you on the A-list.

Have you noticed how Hollywood seems to have almost totally lost its collective creative imagination these last few years. It seems to me that more and more of the new released movies coming out of Hollywood these days are nothing but remakes of either classic movies, TV movies or shows, old comic book super heroes and cartoon characters. Hollywood seems to think they can improve upon everything with special effects. I for one am getting sick of it. Try coming up with something new for a change.
