Re: 2015 Audition List
Did you guys produce/edit your 30-second video, or just talk for 30 seconds? What did you guys talk about? Planning on sending in an audition of my own.

I am planning a 30 second "ad"...like a TV spot. That's as about as creative as I think one can get in 30 secondsK.P. wrote:Did you guys produce/edit your 30-second video, or just talk for 30 seconds? What did you guys talk about? Planning on sending in an audition of my own.
When they originally did video auditions, back in 2009, you had two minutes, which was much more time to get creative. I did a Rocky-themed one in the form of a movie trailer (since I live in the Philly area). Yes...it had a scene where I ran up the Art Museum steps.
That one starred me with my kids as co-stars.
This one will be just me.

Re: 2015 Audition List
That's what I wound up doing. The cut-shots which have become ubiquitous with YouTube series, with some Millionaire music underneath it, ending on a nice splash screen.Jeemie wrote:I am planning a 30 second "ad"...like a TV spot.

Report from the Louisville auditions - elwing and elladan (#3 son) attended, along with the daughter and son-in-law of TheSearchIsOn. None of them passed the test.

Sorry to hear that...were any of the possible game changes mentioned?

Not all Louisville news was bad. Two members of friendly rival trivia teams made it through the videotaped auditions yesterday.

Re: 2015 Audition List
And I just found out that a coworker went and got through including the video audition. He's supposed to hear back within 10 days (but from what I've seen elsewhere it will probably be sooner). He said that if he does get the happy email he would like to get my "veteran's perspective". Hah! The show has changed so much that I don't think I have a perspective any longer.

Re: 2015 Audition List
Good Morning - I've been an occasional observer and am now a bona fide member. I've auditioned numerous times over the years in various formats (regular, movie, decades, etc.) and finally got the Happy Email on April 24th after auditioning in NYC on the 23rd. No further contact (yet...) but there is some hope for us MAWGS of the world at least.

My Skype audition is in the books. Playing the waiting game. I am cautiously optimistic of how the audition went.

Not that I know of. I'd include those reports on the Audition List. --BobHOYA86 wrote:I know they start taping the new season on June 29th- has anyone been contacted yet about actually appearing on the show?

Re: 2015 Audition List
After a Skype audition, how long is it usually before you get the Happy Email or not? If it's been over a week, is that probably a no?

Re: 2015 Audition List
I think you should consider yourself as "still under consideration." That is enough to remain optimistic. The people most likely to get immediate notification are those whose auditions were so sparkly and strong that they got immediate yeses, and those who were given -- for whatever reason, fair or unfair -- immediate negatives.K.P. wrote:After a Skype audition, how long is it usually before you get the Happy Email or not?

Good luck. Any money won, whether resulting from a quick "yes" or an interminable "maybe", all spends the same.

Very good. I'm just wondering when or if I should audition again. I know there's an undisclosed limit.silvercamaro wrote:I think you should consider yourself as "still under consideration."
