Help with auditions?

Mon, 14 May 2012 16:42:30 -0400

I’m sending in a video audition for a tv show that’s going be like The View but with teenagers.

This is the audition info:

Are you between the age of 11-17 with a BIG personality and strong opinions about the environment, politics, sports, music, and lifestyle? If so, we want to meet YOU.

Please send us a 5 minute or less video clip showing your commentary of one of the above subjects, or you can create your own subject that you are passionate about. Topics should showcase current issues and should be structured like this:

Introduction: Name, age and city
Identify the topic/issue with the facts
Identify both sides of the issue
Give your personal opinion on the issue
Finally, is there a solution?

So basically, I need help with choosing a subject? I don’t want to go mainstream and I want something that shows my personality (quirky and outgoing, but thoughtful).

So yanno. Help?
