Big Brother Naija Season 7: Tips, dates, requirements for audition

Africa’s biggest reality TV show, Big Brother Naija, will be back soon with its Season 7.

The show, which debuted in 2006, has served as a platform where stars emerge.

Since its first season, several housemates have since established themselves as industry greats, while some others fade into private endeavours.

Every season of the show is preceded by auditions from which housemates are selected. Still, some speculate that some housemates have other means of getting into the house as auditions do not necessarily guarantee entry into “Biggie’s house.”

While that is a topic this article would be willing to engage you on, the focus of this piece is to help you with tips for the auditions of the seventh season.

Let’s get to it then, shall we?!

OTHER TIPS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Video Tips:

1. Keep things natural. Tell a good story of yourself, citing real-life experiences and how those experiences will help you emerge winner. Big Brother wants to meet you before meeting you. If you get it, you get it. If you don’t get it, forget about it.
2. Do not overdo! It is a short introductory video, not a movie shoot. There’ll be no need for elaborate costuming, lighting, and all. Project your real self, na your ‘real face’ them wan see.
3. Take advantage of your neighbourhood, especially if you’re from a unique part of the country. Explain how being in such an environment has shaped your personality and how it’ll help you succeed on the show. Trenches na trenches, own it!
4. Be sure your camera is steady while recording. No one wants to see shaky shots. There are selfie sticks these days. Placing it on a steady object could help achieve that too.
5. Ensure your face and environment are well lit, especially if you’re shooting indoors. It is also advisable you shoot during the day, so you don’t struggle with lights. You’re not auditioning for the role of an assassin in Nollywood abeg.
6. Be audible enough and speak clearly. Fine face, no audio – na disqualification.
7. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the trenches. Record when the environment is relatively quiet. You want us to pay attention to your words and not the noise in the background.
8. Shoot landscape (horizontal) and not portrait (vertical) style.
9. Shoot like you would see your video on TV. It could make it there.
