This guide focuses on what casting teams actually look for. It’s not about luck. It’s about preparation, strategy, and telling a story casting directors can’t ignore.

Below is a five-part, six-month preparation plan designed to help you stand out when the next Squid Game auditions open.

Part 1: The Six-Month Prep Plan (Before Auditions Open)

The strongest applicants don’t wait for announcements. They prepare early.

Define Your “Why”

Casting teams consistently look for people with real emotional stakes.

Ask yourself:

• Why does this opportunity matter to you?
• What would winning actually change in your life?

Avoid surface-level answers like “I want the money.” Go deeper:

• Supporting family
• Escaping a dead-end situation
• Proving something to yourself

Your “why” becomes the emotional spine of your audition.

Practice Being on Camera

Set up your phone and talk — often.

• Tell short personal stories
• Explain your motivations
• Watch your playback honestly

You’re not aiming for perfection. You’re aiming for comfort and authenticity.

Do a Social Media Audit

Casting teams will look you up.

Make sure:

• Your public profiles reflect who you really are
• There’s no contradiction between your story and your online presence

You don’t need to be famous — you need to be consistent.

Build Mental Toughness

Many reality contestants say the hardest part isn’t the games — it’s living under constant pressure with other competitors.

Prepare by:

• Practicing mindfulness or journaling
• Solving puzzles or strategy games
• Getting comfortable with conflict and alliances

Part 2: The Squid Game Audition Video (Your 60-Second Moment)

Your video is your biggest opportunity.

The Golden Rule: Show, Don’t Tell

❌ “I’m funny”
✅ Tell a short story that proves it

❌ “I’m a leader”
✅ Share a moment where you took control successfully

A Winning 60-Second Structure

Hook (0–10 seconds)
Start strong.

“My name is ___, I’m a ___, and I’m far more competitive than I look.”

Your Why (10–30 seconds)
Connect emotionally. Make them feel something.

Your Game Mindset (30–50 seconds)
Show strategic thinking without sounding rehearsed.

Strong Close (50–60 seconds)
End with confidence — not arrogance.

Part 3: The Written Application (Where Consistency Matters)

The video grabs attention. The application confirms credibility.

Application Tips

• Answer every question fully
• Stay consistent with the personality shown in your video
• Be honest — casting teams build psychological profiles

Photos

• Clear headshot
• Full-body photo
• No filters, hats, or sunglasses

This isn’t Instagram. It’s a casting file.

Part 4: What Casting Teams & Past Players Emphasize

Adaptability Wins

Rigid strategies rarely survive real competition. Be flexible. Read people. Adjust constantly.

Authenticity Is Non-Negotiable

Casting teams can spot fake personas immediately. They want real people under real pressure.

Dorm Life Is the Real Game

The constant social dynamics, paranoia, and trust issues are often harder than the challenges themselves.

Part 5: The Audition Process After Submission

If you advance, expect:

1. Callback from a casting producer
2. Multiple video interviews
3. Background checks
4. Medical and psychological evaluations

The process can take months. Silence doesn’t mean rejection.

Submit your application — then live your life. If they want you, they will reach out.

Final Advice

Your game starts before auditions open.

Prepare your story.
Practice your presence.
Stay authentic.

When the time comes, you won’t just apply — you’ll be ready.

Good luck.
