● How familiar are you with this reality show The Tester?
I have been watching The Tester Seasons One and Two. I’ve gotten a chance to know a good bit of the cast from both seasons; they’re really cool! It’s really great to see the transition from on screen to off screen and seeing the personalities behind the people. It’s definitely something awesome that I was able to experience.
● For those members on PSTALENT that aren’t familiar with the Tester, how would you describe it to them?
I would describe The Tester as PlayStation fans getting crazy, dirty, and having fun. It’s not your normal reality TV show. There is some drama but not a whole lot. I’m hoping that Season Three creates more drama. If I get picked to be on the cast, I will definitely make sure that there is more drama. LOL. It makes for good TV. For those people that haven’t seen the prior seasons, they should definitely check it out. It should be free on the PlayStation Store.

● What ultimately led to the decision of auditioning for The Tester?
I want to be in the video game industry and I thought that this is a really good avenue to do so. It’s good to put yourself out there, so the industry can see your talents. It is also a great platform to get yourself noticed. You have to go out and go for it, it’s a really tough industry, like a dog eats dog world. You have to make sure people see you and recognize you. Even if you don’t win, it will still open up doors for you to move up.
● What would you recommend to those of the site that are shy but dreams about being on a show?
With anything you just have to take a chance, and be outside of your comfort zone. Take the initiative and put yourself out there in any way that makes you uncomfortable. Hone in all of your strength and glory and show yourself. Find out what you’re good at.
● I wanted to ask: What are you most nervous about?
In a way, I think about what if they don’t like me, and they don’t like what I do. It’s not a really huge fear of mine. I guess I also think what if I make an ass of myself. Because you will see that on reality shows. Some people show their true colors when they don’t want to show their true colors and they make a total ass of themselves. You just have to go with the flow and what happens happen, and you really can’t have any regrets. If you have that in mind, then you won’t have any fears of messing up because you’re okay with what you do. There will always be some people that won’t like you.
● We know DOD is a big fan of yours, he was proud to have you as an actor with Aliens Vs. Androids, which won Best Picture and nothing would make him prouder than to see you as a contestant. How can the members of PSTALENT support you in winning the title of the Tester?
Vote every day. The competition is very fierce. The most support for me is vote every single day. You can go on The Tester webpage, create a profile for yourself, and leave comments. You can click straight through my link which will bring you to The Tester page, go in there and make a profile as a fan and vote every single day. I will probably make a Facebook group page, so you have that avenue. Or the link on Twitter. There will also be a link on PlayStation Home forums. There are many avenues to get you to The Tester site. And once you’re there, vote, vote, vote. Like I said, the competition is fierce, there are plenty of good contestants, so the only way to get through is to vote. I really appreciate everything that people do. Also, I definitely appreciate all that PSTALENT.COM and DOD has done.

I like how the voting process works… All you do after you sign up is visit https://casting.thetester.com/homeboy79 each day and vote. You can even leave a comment. I wasn’t sure if I voted today but the vote button said I did so it thinks for you
try it!
Coco/Nic (Casting/Events Director)
Since we are all being honest, I would just like to put my honesty out there. I’ll wish you good luck homeboy even though I don’t know who you are. I, however, do not vote on such things that do not interest me. I get daily spams of people wanting me to vote for them, though I have never even spoken to them. Then, there are some who know who you are and don’t speak to you unless they want someone to vote for them. I’m not saying that this is you, however I have my reasons for not participating in the voting of the tester participants. But as before, good luck to you and everyone else who are participating. May the best tester win.

In Truth i think the Casting Director should of tried for it if shei think all of PS Talent if not most along with some significant amount of PS Home would vote for her.
Blaze
I agree Raz I NOMINATE COCO FOR THE TESTER
Coco/Nic (Casting/Events Director)
Ahh! Sorry, but this is for the Pros. This isn’t my area.
TBaby
Nikki, I feel the same way about me. I love video games, but I don’t think I’m at the level to compete for something like this. I would probably embarrass myself lol. But your like a level 13 i think (nice!) so you would do a lot better than me. Of course I would totally vote for you if you had decided to try out for this
TBaby
oops my reply got duplicated. feel free to delete this one

Stevie
hum don’t want to sound mean but looking at this video i have seen nothing really that would make me say yup im voting for him because he is deter mend to be in the tester.. the people he is going against in terms of voting to be in show way more determination that they truly want to be in the season 3.. i know i sound mean but what can i say its the tester and i like voting for people who i don’t know like people that are not well known people that actually have to work to get what they want not people that use the Internet to go known and go out for competitions like this.. i know like i said i sound mean but hey im just giving my opinion i callz it how i seez it thats all
The Director
I’m glad you spoke your mind. It’s important that all feedback is truthful. I’m sure Homeboy could use your comment as a tool to get to the next round. Being truthful, in the way you did is not mean at all.
Stevie
yea i just felt like there’s more people out there that should be givin the opportunity to be in the show like people who are not in a home theater and have fans all aoround them saying vote for him vote for him naaa im going to vote for who i want to vote lol its a competition and well the losers will lose and the winners will win lol im working on joining the playstation family the hard but easier way and thats by becoming a game designer have it all down really hard to do but in the end it will be work it lol
Mika

As long as we support each other and our comrades, not much is impossible. Give luck to HomeBoy and give him a Home and a sanctuary when all else abandons or escapes him. PSTalent will be for HomeBoy what we are for all of our members here: A Home and sanctuary!
We invite all to become part of the experience, and I ask of those here to support HOMEboy79 as a candidate for the Tester.
Coco/Nic (Casting/Events Director)
Good Luck!
