Step 3:

New Show Casting
Ricochet Television
3800 Barham Blvd., Ste. 210
Los Angeles, CA 90068
Submitted materials will not be returned and will become exclusive property of Ricochet Television, Inc.
Audition Tape Guidelines:
Please submit a short video of yourself, no longer than FIVE (5) MINUTES, that shows us WHO YOU ARE. Please make sure you cover the following bullet points at some point in your tape:
Talk about your "weight history".
How long have you struggled?
Are there any events or relationships that triggered your weight gain?
Talk about what's at stake for you.
If you don't lose this weight. . . then what?
What are you afraid will or won't happen if you don't lose weight?
Don't hide your body; show us how big you are.
Try to describe yourself in one word or a phrase or in a sentence! What "type" of person are you?
We need to see you talk and we need to see you from head to toe at some point, but otherwise HAVE FUN. Show us your personality. Be sure to keep your energy up. It's ok to laugh. It's ok to cry. Tell us a funny story. Tell us a story about the difficulties you've had. Feel free to introduce us to your family and friends, your fish, your neighbor, whatever...
Be crazy, be creative, be entertaining, outrage us, show us your hardest edges - the things people love about you and hate about you - and don't just tell us, SHOW us. Maybe get the friend who brings out your best energy to help make the tape. Or show that friend your video to make sure they say "that is SO you."
Then at the end, bring it down and tell us sincerely why you want to be on this show, what it would mean to you to lose a significant amount of weight. Make us believe in you.
We want to know why we should choose you over thousands of other people. Show us.
And maybe if you "mess up", leave it in... we want to see your unscripted moments too!
Technical note: Check for clear sound and picture before submitting your tape. We want to hear you - make sure that ambient sounds (TV, radio) aren't so loud that we can't hear you. We want to see you - don't shoot the camera towards a light source such as a sunny window, brightly lit doorway or television screen. Don't get fancy with camera techniques, we want to see you and hear you easily (easy on the zoom!)
Please be sure to:
Review tape (VHS, DVD or miniDV) to make sure there's clear sound and picture
Label tapes clearly, including your name, address and phone number
Transfer your video to VHS, DVD, or miniDV before submitting. We do NOT accept Hi-8 tapes. If emailing your video, please submit your file as .mov, .mpeg or .avi.
