Follow the technical guidelines for submitting your reality show submission video. Read the submission video directions carefully. Record your audition on the correct format (DVD or VHS). Also, make sure that your video fits within the time parameters specified for the video.
Find a video recorder to use. Learn how to use it. If you don't have a video recorder, then borrow or rent one. Enlist a friend's help to record yourself if you don't think you can handle it on your own.
Set the stage for your video, making sure that there is nothing distracting or unpleasant in the background. Make sure that there will not be any background noise while you are recording your video. You want the casting director's eyes to be on you and only you when watching your video.
Get the look for your video by wearing nice clothes without any logos or busy patterns. Make sure that your hair and makeup look great by checking yourself in the mirror right before you start recording.
Be yourself while making your video. The honest and direct approach is best. Speak about yourself and why you think you would make a good reality star.
Show your talent if the reality show is talent-driven. Show some attitude if it is a social experiment-type reality show.
Submit your video by the deadline to the address listed in the video submission guidelines. Follow all rules concerning mailing and packaging.
