Faking It Comes To Miami

TLC’s award-winning TV reality series, FAKING IT, is now looking for everyday people in Miami Florida,who want to fake it at their DREAM JOB!

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? Do you want to break out of your shell and get over your shyness? Would you like to be given the opportunity of a lifetime?

Here is your chance…

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 hero/heroine is plucked from their daily lives 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. They will teach you how to walk, talk, and act the part!

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

Ball Room Dancer (female) Flair Bartender (male) Stand-up Comic (male) Actor (male)
IDEAL CURRENT PROFESSIONS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

Farming Professional

Etc...

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.
