On what subject? That's the channel I watch the 6:00 news on.

Re: WTVD
Were you in the second group where the guy did the magic show before the test? I was in that group as well. I passed the test (the blonde haired girl did my interview). She told me twice I did really well on the test and she wants me to get on. And yes, you're right - Hawaiian shirts are great. I was wearing one and she commented on how much she liked it and that was a hook into the conversation. However, I have a new motto - I choose not to have hope.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Is there a DRESS CODE?
Yes! Our dress code is UPSCALE/CASUAL. Think Stylish…Think Classy…Think SOLID BRIGHT COLORS.

Re: WTVD
No. As far as I know, no one did a screen test although there were a few people there who were given releases to fill out and were told to wait after their interviews. I left right after my interview. If I didn't get one of those releases, that's a bad sign, right?Kitikat wrote:Did you also do a screen test?kroxquo wrote:Were you in the second group where the guy did the magic show before the test?

I talked to a blonde lady who said the same things about how I did so well on the test and she wanted to get me on the show. (Nothing about Hawaiian shirts since that's not what I was wearing.)

I heard another auditioner talking about some sort of screen test or video they would do if they really liked you. I also thought I saw some people being called back to another room 2 or 3 at a time. So I can't figure out if they really, really liked me or were giving me a polite brush-off.
Oh, and hi everyone!

They did the screen tests upstairs in the projection room. They had me sign a release before the screen test. I have never seen so many people pass the test.Kitikat wrote:I talked to a blonde lady who said the same things about how I did so well on the test and she wanted to get me on the show.

It did seem to me that if they were really serious about having someone on the show they'd be doing more paperwork then and there. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I've lurked here now and then since the primetime show, but it's been a long time since I visited. When I heard about the Raleigh auditions I dug out the old login. Hope I didn't scare anyone! Thanks for the answers and the welcome.MarleysGh0st wrote:Hi!Kitikat wrote:Oh, and hi everyone!

Re: WTVD
Well, I don't think they'd do that. There have been some auditioners that got The Call almost immediately, but the full contestant paperwork always comes after that.Kitikat wrote:It did seem to me that if they were really serious about having someone on the show they'd be doing more paperwork then and there.
The question of whether the video interview really is optional depends on the deep, dark secrets of their casting process, which we can only speculate about, because they'll never say. Can the 20-something APs really get someone on the show entirely by their individual choice or do their fellow APs, their supervisors and/or the sponsors (collectively, the folks we call TPTB) get to review and approve/disapprove the nominations? My opinion is that, having instituted the procedure of the video interviews (which they didn't do for several years), TPTB really want to see those videos before casting anyone.
Good luck! Hopefully, you'll get the news that proves my theory wrong.

Probably a good thing you did have the old login since it's near impossible for newbies to sign up for this Bored anymore without smacking an administrator upside the head....
