   Hi! Im Abbi and basically I love to sing.

2. # John commented on September 22nd, 2008:

   Abbi,
   Do you have any video or audio of you singing? I’d love to see it.

3. # Kylie commented on September 29th, 2008:

   yeah, im planning on audtioning. I’m gonna singg!! I’ve had a lot of ppl tell me that i have a GREAT voice (i think it’s ok…) and that if i really try, i can win. i don’t believe that. but the cool thing: my vocal range is only a little lower than mariah careys. i can sing any of her songs that i want. lol! its funny… look out for me! (if i can find where the auditions are…)

   Kylie,
   Do you have something online that we can hear? Let me know and I’ll post it on here for people to critique. Give you a jump start before going before Piers.

   I am 12 years old and love to sing
   I have been practicing for the next audition in nyc

   When are they?

6. # John commented on October 6th, 2008:

   Hi Melissa,
   Do you know your name is the same as the person who just won Nashville Star?

   I’m not sure when they will be next, but if you keep coming back to this website I’ll post the information as soon as I find it.

7. # Katie commented on October 7th, 2008:

   Gosh, just like everyone else if I got the nerve to audtion (or if they even come near me) I’d be singing. My best friend wants to audition to and she has a fantastic voice.

8. # John commented on October 7th, 2008:

   Katie,
   No worries about the nerves. In fact, if you’re worried about the nerves, how about you post the video on YouTube and we’ll give you feedback on how well we think you’ll do. Might as well post it in a nice intimate place like this website and get the feedback from the comfort of your own home instead of broadcast to millions of people with Piers making fun of you.

   Hey John my name is Miguel Garza and Im a singer/songwriter. You can check out my stuff at myspace.com/miguelgarzamusic. Im 19 and the recordings arent great cuz I did them myself and all the instruments so there are mistakes. I think I sound better live with just my acoustic guitar and voice…tell me what you think.

10. # John commented on October 15th, 2008:

    Miguel,
    Thanks for sharing. It sounds like you have some raw talent. However, it seems like you need to refine your singing and guitar playing a little more. You seem to slip out of tune every once in a while as you sing. Also, when playing guitar I’m not sure if the notes are just out of tune or if you’re just hitting the wrong ones. Might also be the recording sometimes, but sometimes the guitar sounds off.

    I like your core sound, but could use some polish to really do well on the show. Also, I know you’re doing love songs, but some of the airy singing sounds like your trying to hard. Just let it come natural and work on controlling your voice and you’ll be very successful.

    Best of luck and we’ll certainly be watching for you on the show.

11. # Miguel Garza commented on October 20th, 2008:

16. # John commented on October 27th, 2008:

    Carine,
    I’ll let you know once I hear something.

    The first song I believe you get to choose. Then, after that the producers choose a number of songs with usually one of the suggestions being the song they really want you to choose.

17. # Jena commented on October 29th, 2008:

    Hi John. Just happened to stumble across this site. Are you connected to the show? I do have questions - seems like you may know a bit?? Are you the man to talk to or should I keep searching?

18. # Jena commented on October 29th, 2008:

    Ok… just read the “About Pure AGT” page. I see you’re a dedicated fan. You’ve given some great advice - Looks like you know what you’re talking about! I’ll keep searching. Good luck to everyone auditioning this year!!

19. # NYAMABU,BILOLO(CARINE) commented on October 29th, 2008:

    WHEN IS THE NEXT AUDITION FOR SEASON 4, IN LA?

20. # shannon commented on October 30th, 2008:

    can you send in an audition video tape?

21. # John commented on November 1st, 2008:

    shannon,

    They did one on myspace last year and so you can probably do something similar again. However, I don’t think they have a pure audition video tape option.

22. # Regina commented on November 2nd, 2008:

    Hello,
    Im Regina, and I yodel
    I am signing up for America’s Got Talent!

23. # nicole commented on November 2nd, 2008:

    hi, i’m singing and i was wondering when the auditions were. about what month were they held for the season 3 auditions and may be the same months for season 4?

    last season was it in december or later than that? or earlier?

24. # shannon commented on November 2nd, 2008:

    sorry i have one last question.
    what month do they usually hold the auditions in? like for season 3, was it in december or earlier or later than that?

    so just what month might they hold it in if it was the same as season 3?

25. # John commented on November 3rd, 2008:

    Shannon,
    I’m not sure when they did them last year exactly, but I believe I heard somewhere that this season was going to be on earlier in the summer. Which makes sense since this year they had the Olympics going on which through off its schedule. Therefore, I’m not sure figuring out last year’s dates would be that helpful.

    I’m still on the lookout for the audition dates and will post them as soon as I know.

26. # In Sterio commented on November 6th, 2008:

    Thanks for this site John! Looking forward to finding out when and where those audition dates will be…we can’t wait to audition!

    much love!!

    im ten and im gonna sing at the auditions my friends say i sing good and i think i do ill give it a shot wish me luck!!!!

28. # Jennifer Henderson commented on November 9th, 2008:

    I sing in a blues band, called Mojofilter.
    My boss told me she would pay my way to any audition just to see me pursue my dream. I live in Sikeston, MO. The same town Neal E. Boyd is from, he is/was a regular at our little bar and grill. He is a truly amazing guy! I would like to show the world that Sikeston has even more talent!!!

29. # John commented on November 10th, 2008:

    Jennifer,
    Great story. I wish you all the best. Do you have any videos or anything up of your blues band?

30. # John commented on November 10th, 2008:

    Brianna Dotson,
    Do you have anything online of you singing? Seems like 10 year olds have a good shot if they really can sing. However, I think Bianca Ryan set the bar pretty high for young singers like yourself.

31. # Amika commented on November 10th, 2008:

    i am 12 and i get told i am a really good singer and i can sing a bunch of taylor swift songs and i think i should give it a shot

    hey, sorry to bug you again but i do have just one last question.
    do you have any idea when the video tape deadline would be?

36. # John commented on November 24th, 2008:

    shannon,
    Sorry I don’t know. I’d say get it in really soon. They might just always accept them and use them for the next season if you are too late.

    Hey yall! My name is Holly Hardin and I appeared on Season 3 of Americas Got Talent but got cut in Vegas! I will be auditioning in Atlanta! Hope to see yall there

39. # emma commented on December 14th, 2008:

    do you have to send in a video tape audition to be considered a contestant or go to the open casting call? or can you just go to the open casting call without sending in an audition tape?

40. # John commented on December 16th, 2008:

    emma,
    It seems like you can do either of the two or both. If you go to the open casting calls you don’t need to send a tape. If you send a tape, then you shouldn’t need to go to the open casting calls.

    Of course, if you really want to be on America’s Got Talent, then you might as well try both. Otherwise, if you’re near an AGT open casting call, then just go there and show them what you got.

41. # emma commented on December 16th, 2008:

    okay, thanks so much!

42. # Alex commented on December 20th, 2008:

    Hi,

    I was wondering if you knew the deadline for sending in the audition tapes? I want to send it soon…but I’m afraid it might get lost in the holiday/Christmas rush! But at the same time, I should send it before January, just in case the deadline is like, now haha. Do you know if they watch ALL the tapes? I’m going back to school in DC, so I’m worried about the dates for the audition. Is it usually during the week? Or on weekends? I hope it’s the latter! I’m sorry for so many questions, but thank you SO much for the advice!

43. # John commented on December 20th, 2008:

    Alex,
    I don’t think they’ve said. Plus, my guess is they might just leave the auditions open for the fifth season of the show. I’m pretty sure we’ll be getting a number of more seasons of the show.

    My guess is that someone watches all the tapes. This person will filter the best and the worst to show to the producers and the like.

    I believe that it is during the week, but I could be wrong. Most of them are a couple days also. Be glad you’re only in school. Skipping a class usually isn’t life or death. Just hope that you don’t have a test on that day.

44. # Alex commented on December 21st, 2008:

    K, thank you very much John!

47. # Crystal Waltz commented on December 23rd, 2008:

    Hi John. My daughter, Angelle, age 9, will be auditioning for this season of the show. She has an amazing voice and can be seen singing at this website: kidzbop.com/contest/show_video/3159 although for some reason it didn’t upload to this site the best, so is not the highest quality. Check it out and let us know what you think. Thanks! Crystal

48. # Crystal Waltz commented on December 23rd, 2008:

    I also wanted to comment that the above performance is not necessarily her best. She can do much better on the cadenza, and usually does. This is, of course, a live performance at the Iowa State Fair in August. Crystal

49. # kalene commented on December 29th, 2008:

    I’m kinda iffy on this whole thing, so here’s a bunch of questions.
    Do you have to send a tape or can you just go to auditions.
    How many songs do I need to prepare.
    What do I need to bring to auditions.

    I just really want this.
    You see, my father passed away a year ago
    And my life kinda crashed. My mom does nothing
    But drink and I need this so bad, so I can finally
    Get out of this mess. I have the potential.

    Thanks.

50. # John commented on December 31st, 2008:

    Crystal Waltz,
    It looks like Angelle has a lot of talent and a lot of potential. I think she could definitely do well on the show. She has the potential talent and look that the show will want. We’ll see how well she can do with 10 million people watching her.

    I really hope we get to see her on the show. Let us know if you audition and how it goes.

51. # John commented on December 31st, 2008:

    kalene,
    You don’t have to send in a tape. You can just go to the auditions if you prefer. I think the show just wants to give as many avenues for submissions as possible. Last year they had myspace submissions even.

    I’m pretty sure you’ll only need to prepare one song. I think they also have a time limit on what should be prepared. I’m sure they’ll have the details out once they announce the dates and times of the auditions.

    It depends on your talent what you’ll need to bring. You might not need to bring much at all if you’re getting up and singing or something. Possibly the music you’ll use to sing.

    Best of luck!

53. # Crystal Waltz commented on January 6th, 2009:

    Wow, John. Thanks for the great and encouraging comments. Seriously, those were nice things to say. In fact, one of the casting directors has contacted us after I sent in a quicktime video and requested the signed release and hard copy of the DVD to show to the Execs. So, we are keeping our fingers crossed!!! I’ll keep you posted.

54. # John commented on January 6th, 2009:

    Well, when someone has talent I’m very happy to offer compliments. When they don’t, I like to tell them honestly what I think. I’m basically Simon Cowell with a little bit more tact.

55. # Crystal Waltz commented on January 6th, 2009:

    We have another question. I usually play piano for Angelle. I have been watching videos of AGT online and it looks like the singers all sing to background tracks. Are there rules regarding this?? For auditions should I have her sing to a CD or can I play for her? Thanks.

56. # John commented on January 6th, 2009:

    Crystal,
    Remember that I’m just a fan like other people. Possibly a little more informed than most, but still just a fan.

    For the first audition, I think you can choose to play it yourself or have a background track. The fact is that playing the piano is a talent also and you and your daughter could be an act together. Just know that if you both compete, then they’ll judge your talent on the piano also. Unless you’re killer at the piano, then Piers will very likely say what he did on the first season with the harmonica brothers where he said the little brother needed to lose his big brother. Don’t be surprised if you heard that your daughter needs to lose her mother.

    That said, you don’t have to compete with her and could still play the piano. However, if she does well, I’m pretty certain that the producers will pressure you to use a background track for her performances. I could be wrong, but I think that would be the case.

    From what I’ve heard from past contestants, they offer you a couple choices of songs to perform with often one song in particular that they want you to perform. Remember they’re trying to create a compelling television product. They are more interested in that then they are in you.

    I hope this helps.
