TV Castings
What are TV castings?
TV castings are a selection process for discovering talent. There is a difference between a casting for TV and castings that are broadcast on TV for different areas. Well-known TV casting shows include "Germany's Next Topmodel", "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" and "Das Supertalent".
Who belongs to a TV casting?
In addition to the applicants who showcase their talents, a casting also includes a presenter and a jury who assess the skills of the participants.
How does the TV casting work?
However, before a talent show is broadcast on television, a number of steps have to be taken. The search for talent usually starts in several large cities. Interested parties can apply and are then invited to the pre-selection. The best from these pre-selections then ultimately become the future participants of the TV casting show.
Who can take part in a TV casting?
In principle, anyone whose talent matches the show and who meets the application requirements can take part. Conditions for participation may include: being 18 years of age, residing in Germany or providing proof of physical and mental health.
The application requirements vary depending on the talent show. Anyone applying for a dance show must meet different criteria than an applicant taking part in TV castings for the model business or the music industry. There is a guideline for all castings, which is made available for pre-selection before the application process begins. The winners of the initial shows ultimately receive a personal invitation and are then allowed to take part in the actual casting, which is broadcast on TV.
