Video Tips:
1. Be yourself! We want to get to know who you are as a person. How will your life
experience help you win Big Brother? How will you interact with the other housemates?
When describing yourself, remember to cite real life examples. We love a good story!
2. Making a casting video is not about putting together the best skit or wearing the wackiest
costumes. We’re looking for real people and we want to see the real you.
3. If you come from a unique region or area of the country, talk about where you’re from,
how it’s a part of your personality, or how it may help you do well on Big Brother. If you
have an interesting job, talk about your job and how those skills may help you win the show.
4. Hold camera steady.
5.If shooting indoors, make sure to shoot in a well lit room with lights in front of you to light
your face.
6. Shoot during the day so we can see you instead of trying to see you in the dark.
7. Speak loudly and clearly.
8. Find a relatively quiet area to shoot your video so ambient noises won’t distract from
what you’re saying.
9. Your video may be shown on a TV. Please shoot your video like you would see it on a TV.
Please shoot landscape (horizontal) and not portrait (vertical) style.
If you are selected for an interview, you will be advised so by the Producers shortly before
