Billy Garcia’s Top 3 Tips for Reality TV Wannabes
Categories: Acting Tips, Modeling Tips
As I was chatting with Billy Garcia, cast member of Survivor: Cook Island and superstar self-promoter, he singled out these three must-have tips for reality TV wannabes like YOU:
1. Pick a show that goes after the target audience that’s best for you/your personality. It may sound obvious, but don’t audition for The Amazing Race if you’re not ready to run around!
2. Once you decide on the show that’s best for you – get on it! Say whatever you need to say, stick to specific details about yourself, and avoid general phrases and cliches during the audition process. Remember, single out what makes you unique.
3. Once you’re on the show, don’t worry about winning. That’s not what it’s about. You need viewers to like you, and you need to appeal to the audience watching you. Once the show has wrapped, you will be your own self-promoter. You need to go after promoters, make industry contacts, and know about the latests events, shows, movies, and projects to get involved in.
