As a reality TV fan, you might be wondering what it's like to attend a taping of a show as part of the live studio audience.
It has become a staple for reality competition shows to have a live studio audience as they give energy to the program through their responses to the performances.
Let's explore the behind-the-scene details of a reality show taping.
Getting the Ticket
Before you can attend a reality show taping as a live studio audience member, you need to get a ticket first.
Fortunately, you can get tickets for FREE and no payment is needed to secure them as long as it is still available. If somebody offers you to buy a ticket for a TV show taping, always take it as a red flag.
There are several websites dedicated to getting tickets for TV show tapings and always double-check to make sure that it came from an official source to avoid getting scammed.
Once you obtain a ticket, always make sure that you are free at the date and time stated and you'll need to be available for an entire day as tapings usually take many hours with breaks. It is in contrast to the episodes that we see on TV where the timeline looks shorter.
The Process of Attending a Live Show Taping
Each person will have a different experience of attending a reality show taping, but the process remains pretty much the same.
In the case of The Voice, according to a fan who shared their account of attending the show's taping, you always have to expect to spend an entire day in the studio and you are required to cheer and clap non-stop until you go off-air.
There are also a couple of precautions that you have to keep in mind such as phones being prohibited inside the studio, following the dress code, and instructions in the ticket on where you can park your car.
There are also a lot of security checks before you enter the studio so you need to be present for around 30-45 minutes before the time stated in your ticket.
Once you're inside the studio, you will be seated in the audience and an emcee appears to hype up the crowd as the taping is about to begin.
While it's fun to see the performances live, always expect some long breaks (especially if it's not a live show). There are also no foods and drinks provided so you are advised to eat before going to the studio.
Overall, the fan wrote, "it is a wonderful, one-of-a-kind experience that will make all the waiting and lines worth it."
