Reality TV school 培训学校
OK, here comes the school which can train you who want to get fame or anything else in a reality TV show.
Why are these people subjecting themselves to this crazy exercise? They're building their emotional endurance because they desperately1 long for a chance at this-"She bangs, she bangs"-possible superstar among American Idol2.
‘? ever think about it, it was grotesque3.’
I can't say love on The Bachelorrete, (No, I can’t.) or maybe just a good old cat fight on Flavor of Love. ("No way, slap me bitch, or what...")Yes it seems these days everyone wants a piece of reality TV.
“I love reality TV, I think my personality will be great for a reality show The hope is that the fame will actually last and for a lucky few it has.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck ，a Survivor4 alarm, has become a star on the view. (I just don’t understand why it’s my fault.) And Jennifer Hudson crooned her way from an American Idol nobody to Oscar Gold. (Look what God can do.) Perhaps you could be the next reality show's super story if only you have some coaching. (Bring it in? Let it out) Welcome to the New York Reality TV School (A little bit noise, breathe, ahaaaaa.) where extroverts5, hams（ham ：An incompetent6 actor who overplays 夸张的表演者）and dreamers have come to free their inhibitions and get comfortable in front of TV cameras so they can hopefully one day land that "make it or break it" role.
‘Well I'm a dermatologist7, and I came here to learn how to present myself on camera.’
‘I'm a firefighter and improviser8 ,and I came and check it out.’
"Being at a certain age I want to portray9 on reality shows, how a succeed/ed/ woman does in reality TV."
"Feet, shoulder-length, apart (脚与肩宽), let’s just put our hands on the hips10 and roll your hips（扭跨）."
The school is the brainchild of acting11 coach Robert Galinsky, the seminar‘s cost 139 dollars a pop, and the curriculum is all about, quote" being real".
The cameras’ right in this room, soon enough you are gonna forget they’re there.
"I'm coaching them to be themselves, to be clear about what makes them unique."
He also teaches confidence and strategy, he calls this exercise "the perp walk"(slang, 类似于警察拉着罪犯游街示众). By the way it feels absolutely awful.
"We have them walk through that line, and have to build up some emotional immunity12 to what's going on because it's very much like a reality show."
While yelling and the cameras were too much for one woman, she actually broke down while we were there. And the pressure let another man to literally13 explode.
‘No, it’s…’
I mean, you got metrosexual（metrosexual 是走中性风的都市美型男，但总体来说与gay有很大差别，以新潮发型、钻石耳钉和在海滩穿着布裙而著名的小贝就是“都市中性男”的典型代表。）perfect guy here ，/ insult him as I walked past and you got, you know, cheerleader over here , you got college girl with boy scout14 over here...’
It tends to be the craziest people that win, so it's almost like you teach them how to be themselves in their most crazy form.
"To be comfortable with yourself in your most crazy form, definitely a part of it."
Galinsky even crowds an impressive group of D-list(very minor15 celebrity16) reality celebs to give the students tips. Among them is a star student, Jorge Bendersky. Just months ago Jorge was an average New York dog-groomer. But he felt he had "TV potential".
I'm good at what I do, I'm funny".
So when he heard Cable Channel Animal Planet was doing a competitive reality show for dog-groomers？
"I was like, oh my god, that is just screaming my name." He just knew it was his destiny.
"I was so excited until I really tried to do their auditioning17 tape. That was a disaster."
And we hire Robert Galinsky for coaching, and the rest is TV history.
Jorge made it to the final three on Groomer has it. (Groomers, the judges have made their decision.) He didn't win the cash prize but he did win a little bit of fame.
"I'm hot and hit(出名), as usual, I’m hot and hit, hey.’
"Who knows? Maybe I do have a future on the entertainment industry, you know, 'Grooming18 dogs would (be) hot and hit?, hot and delicious（老美喜欢这样换词，delicious：Very pleasant; delightful19: 有趣的；宜人的）, let's make the dog hot and delicious."
Yah, Ok for now he is doling20 out (bestow, as in small portions) tips to other wannabes at the reality school. Once they get the show they need that out of you and then you can concentrate on the challenge.
The class also preps them to be comfortable with emotional cast mates. Remember her?
"I'm sorry I had a breakdown,/ just want, let you know that, I was hired by New York Reality School to do my little sit?"
And that guy, he was a "hired plan", too. There're obstacles and stressful moments that cast members also bring on, the calmer you are, the clearer your head is, the better your decisions will be.
"If you think this school is a bunch of baloney（胡说八道）, testing agent Risa Tanania says reality TV is a serious business.
"People who want to either be in the spotlight21 or have a story to tell，or have a name to sell or whatever it is，this is a very serious avenue."
So here are the top tips you can't live without.
No.1: Don't perform--be yourself. If I wanted an actor, I would hire an actor. So don't song and dance me.
No.2, be open about personal issues. You’ve got to always be ready to be on the surface with your personal issues, whatever they are. People are not asked to come onto reality shows to be private and reclusive.
No.3, be camera-pretty.I don't like Chinese people on TV.I don't like Chinese foreheads.
No.4, speak in sound bites to increase your airtime. Just train yourself to always include the question on your answer. Tongue bites are so important because that's what people is going to remember.
And finally, No.5, be a hero. Your future is going to go, God knows where? You wanna be likable.
Maybe if you are likable enough, a little of the fame last. 'Hot and Delicious'is going to be global.
That's the funny thing about getting big by a little bit of fame. "I get to have my celebrity picture"---makes a lot of people yearn22 for a little bit more.
