Casting Call for ANTM Web Edition
Due to COVID-19 regulations, we can’t have Tyra, the judges, or any models altogether in Los Angeles. BUT no worries! Fans need this now more than EVER, and we’re gonna give it to them! Here’s how you can audition for Cycle 25 of America’s Next Top Model: Web Edition--
Be sure to test a high quality webcam before use; as a potential America’s Next Top Model contestant, it is best to invest time in making a good impression for the judges.
Have your webcam set up in a place where we can see your walk later in the audition. Remember that the judges aren’t laughing at you as long as you laugh with them if your walk doesn’t meet their standards. Practice makes perfect!
Wear an outfit that accentuates your arms and legs, but nothing too short if you’re fem, nothing too long if you’re masc. Keep it professional while also letting us know how much you know your body.
Email an electronically signed consent form for our production team to take your temperature before our final in-person episode shooting a commercial if you make it into our Top Three after fourteen weeks of quarantine-styled challenges. If you have COVID related symptoms before the season finale, we will gently disqualify you and wish you the best in health treatment; so follow social distancing procedures throughout the competition and wear your mask! The form also gives our designers consent to modify your hair length, color, and/or texture. We may close or widen any gaps in your teeth. We may request you to pose nude. This all depends on what the judges think is suitable for future clients. Don’t forget to turn in that form!
On the day of, state your name, pronouns, where you’re from, your racial background(s), your age, and your measurements.
Stand up straight and keep your camera on the whole time.
Mute yourself when the judges are talking to you; the judges will tell you when to unmute yourself.
Best of luck in your running towards becoming America’s Next Top Model!
