America's Got Talent

TSM330i · 10-25-2009, 10:25 PM

Hey all,
I auditioned for America's Got Talent today. I sang on the Danny Bonaduce to try to get a timed audition (meaning I wouldn't have to wait for 8 hours to audition) and I won one of the five slots he had available to him.
I sang (Wide Awake - Chris Cornell and I can see clearly now - Jimmy Cliff) in the first audition and was put through to the second audition.
I then sang Wide Awake for the executive producer (there were only about seven people in the room - it was video taped as well) and they really liked it a lot. He encouraged me to practice in front of large audiences because if I make it to Vegas I'm going to have to influence large audiences to vote for me.
After this, I was sent to another area to be interviewed and they video taped that as well. It was more or less a "getting to know you" type of Q&A session.

I won't find out till January 2010! I know, it's a long time, but Philly is only the second stop so far for the auditions.
I can't wait!

TSM330i · 10-25-2009, 11:26 PM

Thanks all. No vids of me yet. I have to practice and get some time in front of a camera too, so I'm sure I'll have something soon.

Congrats. Hope you do well.

That is a great idea!! Check some local clubs to see if they have an "open mike" night or something too. I don't know if this site is legit or not (top Google hit), but maybe it has some leads?

Open Mic Philly

Hell I'd vote for a fellow E90er. GL man!

TSM330i · 10-28-2009, 05:03 PM

Thank you all. I will definitely let everyone know if I make it on.

I'm already looking for open mike nights and karaoke bars. I know there's open mike night local to me.

I was away at a national sales meeting for work. I sang at the happy hour for everyone. It was a blast!
