My full audition experience for Squid Game: The Challenge 🦑

[@realMDizzy]

Bro you probably had the best lighting and most dynamic range out of all the competitors!!!

[@ROAMitRALPH]

4K/60! 🤣🤣. It’s crazy that I wasn’t really editing videos when I made my audition video. My desk was literally my kitchen island. Times have definitely changed

[@rolandojr.antonio6855]

wow, the reason you are chosen because you are seen to have a very interesting personality, very sociable one

[@its_eli]

These were great insights. I just submitted my vid a few hours ago. Fingers crossed, thank you!

[@tamimakesstuff]

Thanks for sharing your experience! It helped me get a better idea on what to do for my upcoming 1 minute video.

[@alfredoistic]

*_yay fantastic good luck brother !!!_*

[@ROAMitRALPH]

I was knocked out pretty quick, didn’t even get any screen time on the show 🤣😭

[@toasthero6807]

Thank you for sharing these useful informations. Just signed up yesterday and I'll definetely have your video in mind during the process if I hear back from them. 😬😄

[@ROAMitRALPH]

Good luck with the casting 🤞🏼. Let me know if you have any questions about the process. My only tip is to make sure you bring your personality to the interview. They’re going to make a highlight real from that interview for their final decision. Also, don’t forget me when you win season 2 🍻

[@aubreyyoung4610]

Oh snap! Fingers crossed bro

[@ROAMitRALPH]

Me too 🤞🏼🤣🤣

[@momoshun]

This was super helpful!! What are the casting directors looking for exactly? Do you feel that they cared more about what made you stand out or were they more interested in seeing if you’d be a competitive player?

[@sunsetengineers]

Bro, thank you for sharing! I am signing up for Season 2 so your insight is helpful.

[@ROAMitRALPH]

Glad it helped, let me know if you have any questions. BTW, if you’re interested BeastGames is taking applications right now and they’re working fast. I applied on Friday, got a call on Saturday, and signed off on everything today. You’ll need another 1min video and the questions on this one was much simpler than the Squid Game one. Let me know if you sign up 👍🏼

[@sunsetengineersllc602]

@@ROAMitRALPH Thank you, I am signing up right now. I just need that new video you spoke about. This request was a little different with the video....."You should try and impress us with this video". This could be fun. 🤪

[@Terp1325]

I just did the zoom call fir season 2

[@CarolCaminha]

Hi! Have u heard back?

[@ROAMitRALPH]

How did it go?

[@discipline2004]

Thank you for sharing this. You showed 7 questions during your video call. Were there any other questions you didn't show? I submitted my audition video last night and would like to be prepared for all the questions if they contact me. 🙂

[@ROAMitRALPH]

I would say that there was about 20-25 questions. The whole phone call was an hour long. According to the casting producer, they’re using the best responses in the interview to make another short clip to highlight you one last time before the final decision. So you’ll definitely want to bring your personality when answering the questions. A lot of the questions were personal, like what kind of person were you growing up, do you have a dark side to you, how would your friends describe you, why do you want to play, how would you go about winning, who do you relate to the most on the show. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck with the casting 🤞🏼

[@glenn-daleobrero9416]

How long did they get back to you for the Zoom Call Back after the initial registration?

[@ROAMitRALPH]

I submitted my registration on Oct 6 and I got the callback to setup the Zoom interview on Nov 7th. So about a month later.

[@rylidavis5679]

Hi Ralph, thank you so much for sharing your audition experience. You have NO idea how much this helped me 🥲😄 I actually applied to beast games too because I saw your comment and they just called me back to move forward… I just don’t know what to do because of my job and needing to be away for 8-9 weeks potentially. I’m curious too how you’ve never had to work and gotten lucky for 40 years! Would you be open to having a zoom coffee chat? Or if you just have time to comment, that would definitely be appreciated. Thanks so much! 🙏🏼

[@Samuuuel]

Damn my audition tape is nothing compare to yours I'm so sad lmao I'm french so it wasnt so easy

[@ROAMitRALPH]

I tried to make my audition video simple. I talked to a couple friends in the industry and they told me when they’re watching these, they’re not looking for videos with fancy transitions and all of that stuff, they’re not looking for editors. Just keep it simple and to the point and try to show some personality, we only get 1 minute. They’re also looking for different personalities, so definitely be yourself. I just wanted to share my experience and hope it can help others. Definitely keep trying. I actually got on BeastGames doing something similar like I did for this show. Bonne chance ✌️

[@Samuuuel]

@@ROAMitRALPH They really watch every videos? Yeah maybe you're right, I posted it in private on youtube and sent them the link, just have the feeling that maybe I didn't do enough, but it's my character to smile and be serious about the questions they asked I don't know anyone in this industry so hard to know ! xD And it's even more hard to judge my own video myself

[@ROAMitRALPH]

@@Samuuuel I’m not sure of their process if they watch every video or not, but you have to treat it like they do. And you only have 1 minute for them to stop whatever they’re doing and grab their attention. So definitely be you and answer the questions they ask, but think how can you make them smile (or cry). And don’t be discouraged if you don’t get picked. You’re competing against tens of thousands of other people applying. It’s possible you got looked over even though you would have been a great pick for the show. That’s why that audition video, you want to make them pause the video to laugh, smile, cry, anything to make you stand out. Also, try your best to be comfortable in front of the camera. If you can’t be in front of a camera in your room, why would they want you on a camera in front of thousands of people. I may look and sound comfortable on camera, but honestly, it’s the worst for me lol. It probably took me an hour after I got my camera setup to finally hit record lol

[@Samuuuel]

@ Yeah same ! I had to repeat like so many times ! 😂 I built a text before doing that and I learned it to no forget anything, of course I deleted things to be closer to 1min If I send it to u in private or whatever, can u tell me your opinion ?

[@ROAMitRALPH]

@@Samuuuel oh, I made a script too. I even put “haha” in my script lol. I’m definitely no expert at casting, but if you want me to check it out I can give you my opinion, I can do that for you. My email is in my contact/info section or if you want to send it to my IG @wreckitme

[@ThatsSoJordy]

What was your number on the show?

[@gerardoescuderosamara]

When did the filming take place?

[@autismlivewnasirnarratives6134]

Did they ask for your passport and Social Security Number. Did you do a psych eval?

[@Terp1325]

Did you make it on the show?

[@ElenaSarian]

Did you get selected for Season 1? I’m auditioning for Season 2. Good luck 🫂

[@ROAMitRALPH]

I was selected, but didn’t get far 😅. Good luck with the next audition. Let me know if you have any questions about the process 🥂
