Auditions are usually held between the middle of January and the middle of April, but you should find out more specific information by checking Family Feud's official auditions website.  Auditions usually take place shortly before the new season starts. Auditions are typically held in four to six cities across the United States. They take place over the course of one weekend at each location. No team can audition if its members violate the show's basic rules.  Your prospective team must consist of five members, and everyone must be related by blood, marriage, or law. All family members must be U.S. citizens. Anyone who is not a citizen must at least have permission to work within the U.S. No team member can be related to or acquainted with someone who works for the show, Fremantle Media, Debmar-Mercury, Wanderlust Productions, or any of the show's affiliates. No one on the team can be running for political office. Anyone who has appeared on more than two game shows within the past year is ineligible. Similarly, anyone who has been on Family Feud within the past ten years is ineligible. The show has no strict age requirement, but it is recommended that the teammates should be at least 15 years of age. To ensure that your family has a chance to audition, you should send an e-mail to the appropriate casting department for the city you will be auditioning in. The e-mail address for each city can be found on the show's auditions page, but it is usually the name of the city followed by "@familytryouts.com." For instance:  The e-mail address for Austin, Texas try-outs is Austin@familytryouts.com. Phoenix, Arizona try-outs go to Phoenix@familytryouts.com. Boston, Massachusetts try-outs go to Boston@familytryouts.com San Francisco, California try-outs go to bayarea@familytryouts.com. Indianapolis, Indiana try-outs go to Indianapolis@familytryouts.com. Your family will be assigned a time slot on the date of the audition. It is best to show up at least an hour early to make sure that you will have time to make it through the check-in line. After checking in, your family will be given forms to fill out before the actual audition. Families who turn in the forms first will audition first.  Prepare to fill out basic information, such as name, age, and other eligibility factors. Write down an "interesting fact" about yourself. The fact can concern your job, hobbies, or anything else that makes you stand out. Prepare a narrative about your family. Again, the more unique it is, the more appealing your family will be to the casting directors. Explain what you would do with the money if you won. Families that have a purpose or plan in mind are more likely to be accepted than those who do not. After turning in your applications, the moderator will have you play two rounds of a practice game.  In one round, you will do the face-off while the other team prepares for the steal. In the other round, another team does the face-off while your team prepares for the steal. Winning or losing the rounds has nothing to do with who passes the audition. The practice game is played in front of an audience consisting of other auditioning families. Be energetic and natural. As a whole, your family needs to be enthusiastic in order to catch the attention of the casting directors. If one member of your family is a little more subdued, however, let that person behave naturally instead of trying to force a bubbly personality that does not exist. As long as the rest of the family has the excitement to make up for the one person who lacks it, you might still have a chance. Don't stress out about right and wrong answers. You need to take the game seriously, but at the end of the audition, the casting directors will care more about the families whose members stood out than those whose members had all the answers. Being an entertainer is more important than being a genius.
