Be a contestant on Deal or No Deal

[compangel]

I've auditioned 3 times & everyone I go with gets on - they don't like me!! But I'm going to keep auditioning. May-be I came across a bit desperate - if they think you are a bit crazy and you might ruin the show by opening your box early - so be very straight at the audition. My Dad won a CD player as the daily prize. Mum nearly matched. One of my friends did match & won $1000.
They will let you keep auditioning - it usually is just a matter of weeks from audition to show.
You get about 45 seconds to impress them! You usually have to answer why do you want to be on the show and why would you be good for the show??
Good Luck everyone!!

Confused, do you know before the show is taped if you are the contender for that show?

I was on the show in the audience... You don't know before hand if yo uwill be a player, its the luckof the draw. And looks count.. they wont pick ugly people!

I know this because a nice lady that was seated next to me was in view of the camera a lot and they asked her to switch seat with a younger and more attractive woman.. i was stunned. But its true Im ugly so i didnt get to even hold a case! (But thats also random and depends where your seated)

You can only audition if you are a Melbournite or a Victorian,right?

Yes I'm pretty sure that's right. I auditioned 2 years ago and I haven't heard back from them since. I auditioned with a friend of mine and I'm pretty sure she hasn't heard back from them either. It's pretty silly really since channel 7 is a nation-wide station.

I was in the audience last year. Basically I emailed in and about 5 months later, yes 5 MONTHS, I got a call to audition. I went with my partner and they have a small chat with you, basically you have to be personable and have some sort of a 'story' I reckon - I heard a lot of people saying 'they absolutely adore (insert quirky interest - like a grandma who is into motorbikes)' and so forth. I told them I was into a type of car and wanted to collect them, they seemed interested. Basically anything out of the ordinary you'd spend the money on is what they'd like to hear, so Andrew can have an on-going 'theme' to talk to you about or make puns about I think. Say you'd pay off the mortgage and they're unlikely to be sympathetic.

So we got on and they taped 5 shows in the day. It was really tiring but the guy organising the audience is perpetually getting you to be cheery, it's quite funny! Anyway, as there are 6 blocks, ours happened to be the only one that didn't get a chance! Oh well.. it was a fun day, funny to watch Andrew O'Keefe saying 'And to the newsroom now' pause pause... mate can i get some water over here please!!'

We all got a box of chockies. I'm counting that as a win! Oh and free lunch It was fun, even if you don't get on the podium.
