Summarize the following:
While a testimonial video isn't a requirement for the application, having one will increase your chances of getting cast onto the show. Being on film will allow the casting directors to get a good sense of how you and your family will appear on the show and will give them a better idea of if your family would help create an interesting episode. If you are sending a physical application, you can send the video on a DVD or flash drive. Casting directors are looking for people and families with personalities. If your family is unique or extraordinary in some way, make sure to play up that aspect. The show demands a level of drama and energetic and unique people can enhance the drama. Don't be shy when answering the questions and make sure to put your personality on the forefront. A major concept of Love It or List It is the idea that one of the homeowners wants to stay in the house while the other wants to move out. This drama helps build tension and emotion within the episode and is what casting directors are looking for. Make sure to play up this aspect, and include it within your application or any testimonial videos that you plan on sending. Stay wholesome and family-oriented, but create a real conflict of opinion about your house. More is better but don't ramble on your application. Put yourself in the show creator's shoes and determine what you'd like to see on the next episode of Love It or List It. When answering the questions on the application, make sure to inject your family's quirky or different personality at all times. The more different you are, the more receptive casting directors will be. Avoid being vague or generic at all times.
Create an audition video. Be outgoing, energetic, opinionated, and fun. Create a story. Write descriptive answers on your application.
