TLC Seeking First Responders for Award-Winning Reality Series Faking It

Aug. 6, 2004
Do you ever wonder who you would be if you had a different career?

Do you ever wish you had taken a different path? Do you fantasize about your dream job? Do you ever wonder who you would be if you had a different career? Would you like to be given the opportunity of a lifetime?

Here is your chance...

The Learning Channel's Faking It is a transformational battle against the odds. It tells the story of what happens when real people take up the challenge of converting themselves into someone entirely different. Our heroine is plucked from their daily lives (in this case potentially first responders if chosen) and given four weeks to master a skill well enough to fool a group of expert judges.

During the month of intensive training, top practitioners, famous in their field, mentor the faker and try their best to help them succeed.

We are looking for candidates who have always wanted to be one of the following but do not have any prior experience:

  • Catwalk Model (female)
  • Swimwear Model (female)
  • Vegas Casino Hostess (female)
  • Biker Chick (female)
  • Fashion Designer (female)
  • Flair Bartender (male)
  • Stand-up Comic (male)
  • Martial Artist (male)
  • Ballroom dancer (open)
  • Actor (open)

Even if you work in a different profession -- we strongly encourage you to apply! In the final test at the end of the month, the faker must not only demonstrate the skill required but, if they are to convince the expert panel, they must also look, act, and talk the part as well.

At the heart of the show is the journey the faker takes into an unknown world and the relationships that develop between the faker and their mentors.

If you know that you have what it takes to fool the experts, please email a JPEG PHOTO of yourself and a short paragraph that provides the following information.

  • Your name:
  • Your gender:
  • Your age:
  • Your weight and height:
  • Your address:
  • Your job:
  • Could you take a month away from your job/life at short notice? (Y/N)
  • What do you want to fake it as (from the list above) and why?
