How Not To Audition For RuPaul's Drag Race With Adam Barta

RuPaul's Drag Race has gotten another early renewal, so it's time for everyone to get their audition tape together! Lucky for you, we have resident drag expert Adam Barta here to let you know exactly what you shouldn't do -- by example! So get ready, because this gurl is a mess.






The video is definitely all about Adam. His drag alter ego, Alexandra Winnebago, is definitely a diva, and he got to get his act together if he wants a shot at being on the show. It is obviously a joke, and honestly it's a pretty good one. The entire video is presented as a serious audition tape, not once does he break character to say it's all a joke, and it looks like some of those 'bad' tapes we see on the casting specials of days past.

We can all thank the stars because we have two New York drag staples, Mrs. Kasha Davis (from the most recent season) and Aggy Dune to sit back and judge him as he does half his audition tape on the toilet. I honestly wish we had gotten more of these two commenting on his video, because they are both gems and I love the banter and chemistry they have. We also get an odd low quality clip of Tempest Dujour from this season showing her displeasure with the whole ordeal as well.

Alexandra makes quite a few mistakes, such as pooping on camera, not having lacefront wigs, and most heinous of all she didn't know the lyrics to a RuPaul song! I found the video to be a very funny take on the whole culture the show has created. I know there are other people out there that will give you serious advice on how to audition, but here we get everything you need to know with a lot of laughs along the way. It's now obvious that Adam has become a full member of the WoW family.

If you think you got what it takes, head over to the casting site to give them your tape and get your chance to be on the show.
