Some summed up tips: make an actual audition video, be authentic, don't wear sunglasses or a hat during the video, aim for 3 minutes, film horizontally, no filters, talk about your life and more importantly talk about WHY you'd be good on the show. Thinking of making a casting video myself >:D! Thank you for sharing these tips!

14:40 Jesse: “ I’m looking for big personalities that wont be laying around…” Derek F just entered the group chat lol 💬

Everyone’s overthinking it stop trying to have the best video and just have the best you. Be yourself , show your passion , tell a life story it’s that simple

Been waiting for this!!! You (& Jesse) are amazing. Settling in now to watch!

It’s very strange to see Jesse on the opposite side of an interview, haha! Loved this

Thank you so much ash !!! Loved this super super helpful

As expected this video was 🔥 and so helpful

This was mad helpful, thanks Lauren and Jesse!

Wow Lauren, thanks for doing this!! I’m making a tape tomorrow👍👍😂😂🥰

Loved this! Helpful tips for sure !

I am eternally grateful. I owe it to you to see this through ❤️🙏🏾

18:24 This is interesting because Jesse says being on a show before isn't a disqualifier but that it most likely would be a factor. But at the time he did this interview, Survivor 42 had been filmed and they had cast Johnathan Young, who competed on a show when he was 14 that was similar to Survivor AND they had cast Tori, who had also been on a different reality show. Season 46 also has someone who played on Whipeout.

I love this video it was very informative. I will be auditioning pretty soon!! :)

I’ve been applying for a while. After watching this I definitely understand my mistakes! Ugh I’m so excited to keep the dream going!

Awesome video. So many good tips in here!

Going to take some of this advice when I apply to survivor for the 4th time!

Not gonna lie, every time a survivor season ends I get Into an obsessive survivor kick and get soo pumped to do an audition to try and get on, but have sucked at making videos hahaha. This interview is exactly what I needed to see! I have spent sooooooo mich time googling and searching KZfaq to try and find every nook and cranny to try and get on the show! It's been my dream since I was 10 years old, but haven't been able to get that across. Thank you so much, and hopefully this could one day help me reach that dream! Edit: I've been watching for 15 years, and have been applying for 5, so I've obviously fallen flat getting my personality across. He probably has seen one of my videos and asked if I was ever going to get into specifics lol. Every audition has been a sales pitch.

Oh yes I’m going to apply!!all the years of being a avid BB viewer I’m doing it!! Get meeeee innn the house!!

New subscriber this helped thanks!!! Great interview ✊🏾❤️

LOVE THIS, GREAT TIPS!

Got the pen and paper out and taking notes girl 😩

this was so generous of him to share and for you to give us!! amazing tips

loved this! thank u!

I'll be watching this at least once a month :)

So stinking good!! Thanks Lauren, as someone who has submitted 10 times, Consulted with Dom Abbate, etc… I learned a ton here! Get ready for a new and improved Jackson. I will never give up the dream.

I'm getting a casting call this Wednesday for this. Looking forward to it. :)

I love you Jesse and Lauren ❤

Just applied today! Wish me luck Lauren ❤️

I really just watched this whole video and have no regrets

Literally applied yesterday I should've waited *whooops*

Great video - thank you

Hi Lauren! Thanks sm for this. Do you know if casting is still going on? Rumor has it they wrapped up for 43/44 but I'd like a bit of a sanity check!

Sent in a video recently and took all of his advice!

I REALLY wish I would have seen this BEFORE I sent in my audition tape.

Is The Amazing Race taking tapees/applications right now?

My video got viewed 24 hours ago, they haven’t contacted me yet but i hope they do. Good luck to everyone!!

Do you have to be American or Canadian to be on survivor

do you know if they watch videos year round? and how long in between should we send tapes in

I love tar 33 ,but I think jesse looked at everyone that went to Ellen DeGeneres show and cast them...lol coz everyone was either on it or had a news anchor interview them ..

Hey, this was really Awesome info!!! Great Interview on BOTH sides! Question, what would be the best time of year to submit an audition?? ( example: my last few auditions jan. 7, 2020 / feb. 11, 2021 ) Am I getting left behind and missed ??

Do u have to be vaccinated to be on the show

take a drink every time he says story

Ask Jesse...why he's ghostin' 😂👻👻👻

Fingers crossed I get casted for BB24!

Imagine that was MikeT @28:30

BB25 I'm coming for you! #TeamMsTilly

I’m early 😅

I really hope i get casted!! This is my dream 💜

I would say a very good video and informative! Also exceptional quality as well. But the music playing the entire time was very distracting. Next time for sure shut it off after the introduction of the video.

That's what 40 looks like?

Couldn't case less .. I'm living the dream I don't need to be on TV to do so.

14:39 Except y'all don't cast interesting personalities anymore the houseguests just lay around and the live feeders get bored

Lauren thank you so much for this!! I am worried about sounding scripted applying over and over again! It is so hard to keep yourself fresh and fun year after year.
