America’s Got Talent 2010 LA Auditions
Written by: JohnSign up to receive all the latest America's Got Talent 2010 News, Rumors and Updates.
The America’s Got Talent 2010 LA auditions just completed and a number of people have asked for a thread to talk about the AGT 2010 LA Auditions. As always on this site(Disclaimer: This is just a FAN site), your wish is my command (or at least something like that). So, use this thread to comment on your experience at the LA auditions. Post any pictures you might have taken before or after the show. Don’t disclose anything that you agreed not to say. Just share your experience and things that might help other people who auditioned in LA or will be auditioning for AGT 2010 in another city.
If you’re waiting for call backs, then you should keep an eye on the official AGT LA auditions page. The producers have said that they’ll update the city page with information about when they are done with auditions for that city. Also, they’ve posted the following message (which turns out is the most popular question we get on this site):
Only those acts that are moving on in the competition will be notified. Auditions are still being evalulated, no decisions have been made yet. All decisions will be made by April 2010
Yes, that means that if you don’t make it, you won’t hear anything. I also like that they told you April 2010 you can stop waiting.
Next up, America’s Got Talent 2010 heads to Dallas, TX on January 30-31. We’ll start a new thread for Dallas people to comment about the AGT 2010 Dallas auditions.

Hello All,
I was at the L.A. audition. Was anyone else at the same one???
I hear they had record turn out. So, no doubt you’re not alone.
However, this thread will build momentum over time. You just have to be a little patient. The cycle usually happens a few weeks after auditions when everyone starts searching online to see if other people have been called back.
Hi Janet:
I was there on Sun. Jan. 24th. I got there a little before 7am. The line wasn’t as along as I thought it would be, and by 8am I had my number and wrist tag, and was through the doors submitting my paperwork. On the way up the escalator going to the “holding room”, I was stopped by a camera crew who ask me to come back down the escalator and do an interview spot for them. I think it was because I was wearing my “Black Stetson 10 Gallon Hat” and my leather USA(flag on the back)jacket carrying my guitar case. Anyway, I’m sure I probably made a fool of myself. Who know we’ll see if it turns up on the net somewhere. By 12:30pm, I was finished with my audition. It went much faster than I thought it would. I was prepared to spend all day there. It was a great experience, and I met some real nice people while waiting for my audition, and there was a lot talent there. Now like everyone else, I’m waiting for the call. Good luck Janet, and everyone else.
P.S:
Janet, if you or anyone else gets a “call back”, e-mail me and let me know so I can be looking for on the T.V. auditions.
Chuck,
If you check the check box when making a comment, then anytime someone responds to this message you’ll get an email with any updates someone might post about the LA audition.
Thanks for sharing your story. I guess you’re going to be the LA cowboy?
Hi..My daughter Amber age 17 audtioned on Saturday..it was a great experience for her..a girl asked her if she would sing and she belted out her rendition of I will always love you by whitney..it was cool to hear others also sing after her..sort of like a sing off..best of luck to all..
John:
I’m just one of L.A.’s cowboys. There were hundreds of them there, looking good and sounding good. L.A. definitely HAS talent. I heard it all around me while I was waiting for my audition. It was a beautiful sight and sound.
Janet:
I love that song. I wish I was there to hear her sing it. I heard so many young talented people, not shy at all just bursting to sing if anyone ask them to. When I was that age I was so shy. You would have to pry a song out of me. The best of luck to your daughter Janet. You be sure and e-mail me and let me know when she gets her call back.
I was at the LA auditions!! My friend and i sing as a duo. It was an awesome experience. It was the first time i ever tried out for this show (Ive tried out for AI before but its not a good experience lol). We sang Alone by heart. The judge people asked us several questions about us and our act. Then we sang and i think we did really well. We were the only ones in the room that they asked questions to soo hopefully its a good sign!! Waiting for a phone call lol but i hear its quite a wait…
Hi everyone:
Something happened. I, like everyone else is going crazy waiting for our “call backs”, and if you are like me , you don’t even want to leave the house, afraid of missing THE CALL. You see I don’t have a cell phone, so they can’t reach me that way. They could e-mail me, but so far they haven’t. Today I thought, what if they called and I wasn’t home, would they leave a message. We have a phone that has caller I.D. and you can check all your “missed calls”. I checked the phone for any and wasn’t expecting to find one, but did find that on Jan 28 at 5:22pm while I was at work “Dreamworks” called. It was an (818) number, and that’s where someone said the call would come from. The number was (818)933-5400. I know that “Dreamworks is a studio in Burbank. Of course I quickly brought the number up and called it. To my utter disappointment, there was a recorded message that said “Due to network difficulties, your call can not be completed at this time, please try your call at another time” What? I couldn’t believe it so tried again and got the same results, and I have been getting the same results every time I try, and I’ve been trying all day. A few minuted ago I “Googled” “Dreamworks”. I found a search with a map, address, and phone number. The phone number wasn’t the same. It was (818)695-5000. All I can do now is think of why this happened. If it WAS my “call back”, why didn’t they leave a message, or why didn’t I get an e-mail, and if it WASN’T my “call back”, why would “Dreamworks” be calling ME. I have never dealt with them. I can’t wait until tomorrow to call the number I found on the net and ask them about the call I got and if they are handling the AGT L.A. “call backs”. I am trying to make sense of this, but it’s driving me crazy. I sang one song, and received the same “Very nice thank you” that the other four people received that were in the room with me. I was very happy with my effort, I thought I “Nailed it”, and I thought the other four people “Nailed” theirs. We left the room, waited a few minutes and one of the women that heard us came out and said “we’ve got every thing we need, and if you are selected, you will be notified, and it could take as long as April to hear from us”. There was no camera in our room. We all sang, myself and another guy with a guitar, and the two girls without instruments. Well, I will keep you posted on what I find out tomorrow. No sleep for me tonight.
Hi Chuck,
Interesting. Dreamworks is a big development house, but I’m not sure if they have ties to Fremantle Media who produces AGT. I’m sure they’ll call back if it is indeed the show. Let us know.
I was in LA and I am waiting very impatiently for the (818) number to appear on my phone as well! Fingers crossed~!
John:
I called the “Dreamworks” number I got off the net (818)695-5000. They said they were not affiliated with AGT, and they did not call me. At least I know now that I didn’t miss my “call back”, and I’m still waiting like everyone else for it to come.
I decided to “Google” that (818)933-5400 number that turned up on my phones “missed call” list. It turns out that I’m not the only one getting a call from them. There are tons of people that are being harassed daily by that number. It’s from Van nuys and it’s called “Dreamworks Construction And Remodeling, so if anyone else get a call from them, that’s who they are. They say the only number you can reach them at is (877-300-5316 if they start “bugging you”. They have only called me once and didn’t even leave a message.
Has anyone received a “call back”? If you do, please e-mail me and let me know when you received it. ChuckLoftin@Ca.rr.com. Thanks.
Hi Friends! I was at Saturday the 24th LA audition… What a great experience if I make it through or not. I felt that the entire day was well put together and organized. My hope is that AGT was really there to find GOOD talent. I am a singer who has been singing since I was a ittle girl and can’t imagine doing anything else. If America’s Got Talent is searching for RAW talent…….. they found the right woman!!
Good luck to you all!
Jamella,
Do you have a video of you singing online so we can check out the talent from LA?
Thanks,
My friend had all of the footage. Let me see what I can dig up and post. Please keep a watch!
HI EVERYONE, iI ALSO WAS THERE ON SUNDAY. I HAD SO MUCH FUN. I AM OLDER SO DOING THIS WAS ON MY BUCKET LIST. THE LADY PRODUCER WAS VERY NICE, SHE SAID SHE WAS GLAD I AUDITIONED, I THINK THEY SAY THAT TO EVERYONE, IT CAN BE MISLEADING TO SOME PEOPLE. SHE ALSO SAID SHE WAS GLAD I STARTED TO WRITE MY OWN MATERAL AGAIN. WAS SHE THAT NICE TO EVERYONE? I WISH THEY WOULD JUST TELL YOU RIGHT THERE IF YOUR RUBBISH OR NOT. GOOD LUCK TO ALL. DO YOU KNOW IF THRE ARE PICTURES POSTED ANYWHERE
Is anyone else out there? The wait is driving me nuts. Longest month of my life. On March 12-13 the live auditions start in L.A. They have to tell people soon to make arrangements for their life. I wish i t was just over. I did not expect to be this nervous. I have assumed all a l ong I would not get chosen so I thought that would make it easier. It hasn’t.
Good luck everyone. Ishkamarie@aol.com
in response to ISHKAMARIE
im with ya,i actually auditioned back in oct.
Lisa, where did you audition. I apologize for complaining. I only auditioned in January. I have 21 more days until Feburary ends. Since there is going to be a live show in March in LA I dont think it will take t ill April to start confirming acts. PLEASE keep in touch, good luck, and think happy thoughts. ishkamarie.
i auditioned in ny on halloween. you dont have to appologise,this wait is so stressful. its wierd that they are having the l.a. auditions first and in march,the ny callbacks will be on april 21.
This was on the AGT website today
America’s Got Talent will tape in Los Angeles on March 11th and 12th.
The Orpheum Theater
842 S. Broadway
Los Angeles, CA, 90014
Has anyone from the Los Angeles auditions heard anything yet?
I have been waiting ever so patiently myself! HA!
I auditioned on Saturday and have still not heard a word about the call backs. Reply if you have heard either way!
I just checked the official site and it says March 12th-13th on it: http://americasgottalentauditions.com/new/LA
Then, it links to the place to get tickets and it says March 11th and 12th – http://www.ocatv.com/shows/show/142
Looks like something is off. I’d put my money on the ticket site since they have to be precise to get people to show up. At least you’d hope.
Nice find Gina. Thanks for letting us know.
Hi Friends,
I don’t expect to hear anything back until March at some point. I have been kind of going on with life until I hopefully get that call or e-mail. Like I had mentioned in my previous posting….. I have been praying that the producers were SERIOUSLY looking for talent and praying that EVERYTHING isn’t going to be about “Ratings” for the show.
As far as I am concerned; we are all winners just for going out and standing in line for 12 hours to get a shot at the big time!
After reading the account of Bailey age 13 from the Dallas audition thread I am a little concerned. If his account is accurate, it indicates that the producer/judges liked his back story and after maybe performing a less than stellar audtion they asked him to try again with more emotion. I believe this is crossing the line from just judging talent. It seems to be more in line with coaching. So, I unfortunately now have the feeling that this show at this juncture and season is after good stories ( like overcoming a sickness or disease,a family economic hardship, etc) that may create a dramatic effect to increase publicity and hook more viewers. This activity is motivated by creating strong Nielson rating numbers so that advertising revenue per M (thousand) can be increased.
Who else that auditioned was coached? Once word of this type of MO by the producers circulates it will cause the show to only attract those with good back stories to audition and thus miss out on the real talent of America. In the end, viewers will tire of hearing story after story of hardship and discontinue watching. Let’s face it, we can all search our own stories and find some hardship somewhere. The effect is much like the professional panhandler found in urban settings. If you come into contact with them frequently you hear some pretty elaborate stories before they hit you up for cash. ( I mean no disrespect to those in need.) However, I have been in the position to hear those types of “come ons” by long term professional panhandlers and the stories never cease to amaze me. After a period of time, relentlessly exposed to such banter, you build up a tolerance for allowing yourself to hear the story.
Anyway, just my 2 cents
JHoward,
You’re absolutely right. I’ve said this a few times before. The producers job is to produce an entertaining show that gets good ratings. Stories make a show more interesting. Add a story to some talent and that’s why the show is so popular.
I’m not sure I agree that asking someone to do it with more feeling is coaching. I guess a little bit, but I also don’t necessarily see anything wrong with it. If they see a glimmer of what they want on the show and want to suggest something to make that person even better, what’s wrong with that? Plus, once they get on the show, a whole production team will be around them helping to make their act better and doing a whole lot more than coaching.
Coaching was happening throughout the audition process. When we were in the holding room the people who were picked to be on camera were coached to look worried, nervous, scared. So who knows this kind of ‘reality’ show may just be like the rest. Not as real as we think!
HI ALL, I JUST HAD TO P UT MY TWO CENTS IN TO THE CONVERSATION. I AM SURE YOU HAVE HEARD SUSAN BOYLES’ STORY. I CONSIDER HER A REAL TALENT. TELLING THE VIEWER ABOUT HER LIFE ONLY MADE HER MORE INTERESTING. I LIKE HEARING ABOUT THE PERSON. I LIKE TO KNOW THAT THE PERSON IS REAL. THE PUBLIC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WINNER AND WE ARE NO DUMMIES.WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL IF THE PERSON IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF US . WE CAN CHOOSE NOT TO VOTE FOR THEM. I WISH EVERYONE LUCK. I AGREE THAT WE ARE ALL WINNERS BECAUSE WE GOT UP AND DID SOMETHING OUT OF OUR COMFORT ZONE.GOOD LUCK. ‘THINK HAPPYTHOUGHTS AND MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. GOOD LUCK. ISHKAMARMIE
Ishkamarmie – I don’t have a problem with background stories, but do we need to have them repeated 100 times? We are intelligent enough to get them the first time, do we really need them drilled again, and again, and again? If we really want to see personalities then show some honest revelations from the contestants about their feelings but make them real, unprompted and uncoached. If it’s not possible given that because of the audience voting, the contestants may be reluctant to be open, then don’t show it at all.
I have no problems with coaching if it is related to the acts and is aimed to help contestants to achieve their highest potential, especially the finalists i.e. voice coaching for singers or some choreography,dance coaching for dancers, etc. This happens during finals of real professional competitions, and I see no problems with it. I want the contestant to do their best.
But I do have problems with coaching that makes this show so fake: i.e. showing feelings that aren’t there.
@Gina – I think by now everyone knows that there is a lot of stuff about AGT that’s not real.
hello, to everyone. my name is kimberlynn artis, and i audition on january 24th 2010. and my best friend she supported me all the way until i finished my audition. it really was an awesome audition for me. i am so hard on myself, i gave myself a 80% i feel i did a good job. although there were a lot of people that have talent. and it was all kinds of good talent. it really did not take all day, i got there around 7:00am and i was finished around 4 or 5:00 in the evening. i am waiting too, for a call back or an email. but, you see first you have to believe in god. because, he is the only one that knows if we all made it. i am 46 years old and i still believe in my talent, and everyone time i hear about auditioning anywhere that is real huge. i always there no matter what!!!! and so, even if i do not make it this year, which i have to believe that i will. i will audition next year until i do. i just wish that american idol, was different. because, american idol, has an age limit on their auditions. but, some how people that is older than the age limit. some how they slip right on in and they get discovered some how. i am a singer, and i feel like god will bless me one day and turn my dreams into reality. i am on pins and needles, but i do believe that everyone is a winner too. because, we all stood in line for our dreams, instead of wishing we were discovered. we all made an effort to try and make our dreams come true. that is the difference in just wish and hoping we were discovered. we made it happened, and now we can just sit back and pray!!!! and the most important thing is to never give up, because god gave us our talent to keep on going. so, i believe that everyone will someday get chosen for their dreams to come true. i believe in me, so just hold on to your dreams and keep on trying. its when you do not try, then that is when you have given up. god bless to everyone that audition, and good luck in your careers. peace out!!!!! and never give up!!!!! just remember i am 46 years old and i love to sing, and i can sing real will i an r&b singer and i sing gospel. and most important i believe in god!!
kimberlynn,
Best of luck! I hope you hear something.
Also, American Idol does have an age limit, but Simon Cowell is in his last year as a judge on American Idol. The reason he’s done is because he’s bringing over a show he’s done in Britain called X-factor. From what I understand, it’s similar to American Idol, but with no age limit. Might want to consider looking into that when it comes.
Hi Kitty, why did you audition for americas got talent if you felt it was not real.? I j ust read your post. When it comes to the show they have to repeat the stories over and over just in case someone new is watching and has not heard it before. There is no show on T/V where the actors are not coached in some way . Poles are taken and people are asked what they like just like they do for products. Next time someone comes up t o you in a mall answer their questions and tell them what you like. I know if you get chosen you are not going to refuse on the grounds that the show is not real. You will do what is asked of you t o win the million dollars. I wish all of you luck with your dreams. Kimberlynn I am pray for you to. No matter what happens God has a perfect plan for you. Luv, ishkakmarie
Has anyone heard anything? Does anyone know if there are any pictures on the internet of the 24th. Im having a hard time waiting. I have not practiced my performance even once. I am a little depressed.
trying tothink happy thoughts. did anyone besides me catch flack from their family about doing this? my family thinks it was a waste of time and money. I keep telling them it was fun!!! Ohhh welll.
Ishkarmarie,
I wouldn’t worry about your friends. A guy once told me, “Life is about making stories and telling stories.” You made a story that you can now tell.
John, thank you but I did not make myself clear. My friends think it is great. My family is who is giving me trouble. I knew the chances of getting chosen was slim to nil, but I wanted todo it for the fun. Thanks for you encouraging words. I hope you make it. ishkamarie
Hi,
Again,
I feel that we are all winners for just getting out of our comfort zone and trying out. I believe that I am a really good singer and prob. better than most on the radio today… ( Just like a majority of us out there) but a lot of it is who you know and what the producers are looking for for to make the show and the ratings good. There were no cameras in the rooms and I wish I knew what the judges are looking for and how they go about making their decisions without taking individual pics of all of us. My judges had laptops and I watched them as they made notes as I sang. All can do is “Keep it movin’” and be in prayer that I make it to the next round. If not, It was such an exciting experience that I will always remember……. and if I don’t make it, it is not something that will define who I am either. We all have a God given gift no matter what a producer or a judge has to say. I believe that I’m the best NO MATTER WHAT!
Oh dear Ishkamarie,
I haven’t auditioned for America’s Got Talent. You’re looking at my talent right here. Putting together cool online communities;-)
I did think about it one time. I thought I should go with my computer, dress up like a complete nerd. Then, I’d show my talent of blogging. I’d sit in front of the judges and type on my computer. Although, all I’d really be doing is typing about the experience of auditioning.
The reasons I haven’t done it (yet) is because I’d have to drive to LA (too far for a joke) and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t allow my computer.
So, instead I’m trying to get them to let me cover the Vegas auditions when that happens.
Hi John,
That would be pretty funny if you actually did that. Besides you have a cool talent. I am not very computer literate. Let me know if they let you cover the Vegas auditions.
Hi Jamella, I noticed there were ccmeras in the corners and on the ceiling above the X. They were not very big, but they were there. I think they did it that way so we would not get nervous and if other acts were in the room they would not try to upstage the performer. I m surprised no one else noticed them. They w ere the first thing I looked for. Keep thinking positive. Ishkamarie
Hi,
That’s cool! No I didn’t realize there were cameras in the rooms. Ok, ok, that makes more since as to how they may remember who we all are.
Thanks, I will stay positive…… U just never know RIGHT?!
Take care
ISHKAMARIE..Never saw any cameras in the room either but they do have special laptops that have webcams built right in them..just a thought.
Hi everyone,
I think they did not want the cameeras to be obvious because they wanted the performance to be natural.They did not want winking etc into the camera. They want the performance to just be honest with no hipe. There is so much technology now that they do not need big cameras. would it have made you nevous if you knew they were there?
Good luck to all. Ishkamarie
PS HAS ANYONE SEEN ANY PICTURES YET? EVEN THOUGH WE WERE TOLD NOT TO TAKE PHOTOS A LOT OF PEOPLE DID ANYWAY. I do not know where to find them on the internet. does anyone else know????????? THANKS ISHKAMARIE
Hi ISHKAMARIE..I agree with you about having the cameras. There had to be someway of them taping the contestants so that they can review at a later date. I would not have been nervous if I saw cameras…as far as photos, I myself have not seen any.
I noticed that a few of the city audition pages have been updated so I wanted to share what they now say…..
The Chicago Audition states the following:
“We have started calling some acts with good news, but are still evaluating others. All decisions will be made by mid-April.”
The New York page says this:
“Some acts have already been called with good news, but auditions are still being evalulated. All decisions will be made by mid-April.”
Philidelphia says:
“We have begun making some “good new” calls, but many acts are still being evalulated. All decisions will be made by Mid-April.”
Los Angeles:
“Auditions are still being evalulated, but some good news calls have already gone out. However all decisions could take as late as mid-April 2010″
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
I just read that calls have gone out to those in LA that were selected. I guess I was not selected.. Good luck to all of you who were. I am not going to lie and say I am not disapointed but I had fun, and I will tr y again next y ear. In the mean time I will enjoy t he show and the memories… I accomplished something incrediable for me
I READ THE CALLS WERE MADE TO THE LA PEOPLE THAT WERE SELECTED. I WAS NOT CALLED. I WOULD BE LIEING IF I SAID I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I WILL TRY AGAIN NEXT YEAR GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT.I AM ROOTING FOR SOME ONE FROM LA TO MAKE IT. I DO NOT THINK ANYONE HAS MADE IT FROM LA BEFORE. MY BROKEN HEART WILL MEND. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL STILL WAITING. ISHKAKMARIE.
Umm. I just looked at the AGT website and no information is anywhere on the site stating that anyone from Los Angeles or anywhere else has been called. I don’t think we should break out the kleenex just yet America. ISHKAKMARIE hold your head up girl they still may call you!
Best of luck to you all!
What are the local pages Mr. Lucky and where can they be found. Also did you get a call back from any of these pages? Just curious. Also remember this is a huge talent show not a singing show. I personally won’t be too hurt if I don’t make it here I am waiting for X factor myself.
Ok just found the local pages that Mr Lucky was talking about. I won’t break out the kleenex until I see the show air. LOL
I AM CONFUSED. TICKETS ARE NOW BEING MADE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE TO SEE A LIVE TAPING IN MARCH BUT IN THE SAME SENTENCE THEY SAY THEY ARE COMINIG BACK IN APRIL TO DO A LIVE SHOW. DOES THAT MEAN THEY ARE DOING TWO LIVE SHOWS IN LA,
Ishkarmarie,
Check out these comments from the AGT producers that should answer some of your concern: http://www.pureamericasgottalent.com/2010/01/19/questions-for-agt-producers/#comment-2793
ISHKAKMARIE it says:
Los Angeles:
“Auditions are still being evalulated, but some good news calls have already gone out. However all decisions could take as late as mid-April 2010″
Not all decosions have been made yet until mid April.
I WAS NOT CALLED, BUT IF I DO GET CALLED
TO ANOTHER STATE TO AUDITION FOR THE
JUDGES, AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE AIRFARE
DO I JUST MISS OUT ON THE AUDITION?
LINDA, THE LIVE SHOW IN LA IS MARCH 12 AND 13 I ASSUME THAT THEY WILL HAVE ALL THE AUDITIONS DECIDED BEFORE THAT DATE. I COULD BE MISTAKEN, BUT THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE. ISHKAMARIE
PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPITALS. I AM VISUALLY IMPAIRED.
Hi ISHKAMARIE..then why do you think they keep saying mid- April. What did you do for your audition? Were there cameras? Did they interview you? Have you oe anyone on this site ever heard of anyone getting a callback after just singing one song?..with no interview.
Ishkamarie,
My understanding is that they’ll pay your ticket to get you to another city if they invite you there.
HI JOHN, THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE. IT WOULD BE MY LUCK TO GET SELECTED TO AUDITION IN ANOTHER STATE AND NOT BE ABLE TO GO. THATS HOW MY LUCK USUALLY PLAYS OUT. IS THERE GOING TO BE AUDITIONS WITH THE JUDGES IN APRIL IN FRONT OF THE JUDGES OR NOT. IT SAYS THEY ARE RETURNING, BUT IT IS NOT CLEAR…. MAYBE I AM MAKING THINGS TOO DIFFICULT.
I W ILL AUDITION NEXT TIME MORE THEM ONCE. I GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL WITH A COMPRESSION FX OF THE BACK ONE DAY BEFORE THE AUDITION. I WENT BECAUSE MY FAMILY HAD MADE PLANS FOR US IN LA AND I DID NOT WANT TO LOSE OUR MONEY. NEXT TIME HOPEFULLY I NOW KNOW HOW TO ENTER A VIDEO AND KNOW THAT YOU CAN AUDITION AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT. THE DAY I AUDITIONED I HAD TO TAKE VICODIN JUST TO BE ABLE TO STAND ON THE X. HOPEFULLY THAT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN. NOT MAKING EXCUSES OR ASKING FOR SYMPATHY JUST STATING FACTS. IF I FEEL GOOD ILL DO BETTER
ISHKAMARIE
HI LINDA,
IT SAYS ON THE PAGE THAT WE WENT TO REGISTER FOR THE AUDITION. I CLICKED ON LA AND THERE IS NOTES TO THE AUDITIONEES. UNDERNEATH THE PLACE WHERE THE TICKETS TO THE LIVE SHOW IN MARCH ARE ANNOUCED IT SAYS THAT THEY ARE RETURNING TO LA TO AUDITION ACTS IN FRONT OF THE CELEBRITY JUDGES. THERE ARE NO FURTHER EXPLAINATIONS TO THEIR COMMENTS. IT MAKES IT VERY CONFUSING.
YES I WAS INTERVIEWED. I DID NOT SING SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE SINGERS DID. I WAS NOT CALLED BACK EITHER SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT MAKES DIFFERENCE. THEY COULD HAVE INTERVIEWED PEOPLE THEY THOUGHT WERE GOOD JUST IN CASE. ALSO ABOUT THE CAMERAS. I SAID EARLIER THAT I THOUGHT THEY WERE ON ABOVE THE X AND ON THE WALLS.., GOOD LUCK. LINDA
THERE IS A RUMOR GOING AROUND THAT THERE\\
ACTS THAT FOUND OUT THE NIGHT OF THE
AUDITION THAT THEY WERE CHOSEN. IS THERE
ANY TRUTH TO THIS RUMOR? PRODUCERS NEED
TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION.
ISHKAMARIE_ I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY CAN TELL YOU A DAY OR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE YOUR NEXT AUDITION. I HAVE EMAILED ONE GUY ON HERE AND HE STATED THAT THE PRODUCERS CALLED HIM AND ASKED HIM HOW CLOSE WAS THE NEAREST AIRPORT TO HIS HOME AND HE NEEDED TO GO TO THE AIRPORT AND A TICKET WOULD BE WAITING FOR HIM WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE AIRPORT AND THAT A CAR WOULD PICK HIM UP AND DELIVER HIM TO THE AUDITION AND THEN THE HOTEL HE WAS THERE FOR 3-4 DAYS I BELIEVE AND HE SAID THAT THO HE DID NOT MAKE IT HE DID HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE. I GUESS WE WILL HAVE UNTIL MARCH 12TH AND 13TH TO WAIT FOR THAT CALL HUH? WOW! GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO AUDITIONED! I WILL BE POSTING SOME YOU TUBES OF ME SINGING SOON SO YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT! TAKE CARE!
GINA, THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. HOW CLOSE TO THE DATE OF THE AUDITION DID THEY TELL HIM. I REALLY WANT TO AUDITION IF FRONT OF T HE JUDGES. I DONT CARE IF I GET BOOD OFF THE STAGE. I JUST WANT THIS SO MUCH MORE THEN I THOUGHT I DID. I KNEW I DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE IN YOU KNOW WHERE BUT I AUDITIONED ANYWAY JUST TO SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE. I HAD SO MUCH FUN. I MADE ONE MISTAKE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FATAL. THE MAN WHO TOOK ME FROM THE BIG ROOM TO T HE SMALLER AUDITION ROOM DID NOT TELL ME TO WAIT UNTIL I WAS TOLD I COULD LEAVE. ONCE I WAS DONE I JUST LEFT. THERE WERE 5 OF US. THEY TOOK US OUT TOGETHER AND AUDITION US SEPERATELY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE WE HAD BEEN THERE A LONG TIME. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG. HE WAS VERY STERN. ALL HE SAID TO ME WAS “COME WITH ME”. RH==THE MAN WHO WAS WAITING AT THE AUDITION ROOM WAS SO, SO, NICE. TRIED TO MAKE US ALL COMFORTABLE WITH PEP TALKS TO THOSE WHO WERE NERVOUS. HE SAID NOTHING THOUGH ABOUT NOT LEAVING W HEN WE WERE DONE. I DID NOT KNOW TO WAIT UNTIL THEY DISMISSED. ISHKAMARIE
THAT WAS HOW THEY AUDITIONED ALL OF US BUT BY THE TIME THEY GOT TO MY GROUP IT WAS ALMOST 8PM AND WE WENT IN 10 AT A TIME. AS FAR AS HOW MANY DAYS I BELIEVE THE MAN I SPOKE TO SAID THEY CALLED HIM 2 DAYS OR LESS IN ADVANCE HE HAD TO DROP EVERYTHING. NOT EASY FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE KIDS, LIVES ETC. GOOD LUCK HUN! I WILL POST MY YOUTUBE LINK THIS WEEK!
Anybody hear of any callbacks yet..i was not video taped so im not getting my hopes up..unless i just did not see a vodeo..idk. Anyone else have the sames experience as me.
I have a friend on FB that auditioned in LA and he said he has a few friends that have got calls for the 2nd audition in LA already.
GINA, WHAT IS THEIR TALENT IF YOU KNOW?
ISHKAMARIE_THEY WERE SINGERS FROM PHOENIX
GINA, THANKS FOR RESPONDING. HAS ANYONE HEARD OF ANY VARITEY ACTS GETTING THROUGH. MY ACT IS A VARITEY ACT. EXCEPT FOR MAGICIANS I H EARD THEY DONT HAVE AS MANY TO CHOOSE FROM. STILL GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED FOR BOTH OF US.
i would think that if its true that they didnt have many variety acts to choose from that it would better your chances
HELLO ISHKAMARIE- DO YOU HAVE A FACEBOOK? YOU SHOULD JOIN THE AGT’S FACEBOOK PAGE THIS IS WHERE I HAVE BEEN GETTING SOME OF MY INFOMATION JUST A THOUGHT!
GINA, I AM NOT COMPUTER LITERATE SO I DO NOT HAVE A FACE BOOK PAGE. HOW DO I JOIN THE AGT FACE BOOK.? I KNOW I ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS. IF THAT WOULD HELP ME I WILL DO IT.
ISHKAMARIE- I SENT OUT A MESSAGE FOR YOU REGARDING VARIETY ACTS I WILL LET YOU KNOW. DIDN’T WANT YOU TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO. I DON’T MIND KEEPING YOU UPDATED. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT I FIND OUT ASAP. HANG IN THERE
GINA , THANKS SO ,MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR YOU SING. ISHKAMARIE@AOL.COM
I PUT IN FOR TICKETS FOR LA SHOW. THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME ONE. THERE WAS A ‘a’ PRIOR TO MY SEAT NUMBER. MY DAUGHTER TRIED TO GET TICKETS AND THEY GAVE HER THREE. THERE WAS NO ‘a’ IN FRONT OF HER NUMBER. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIME TO GET ADDITIONAL TICKETS WITHOUT SUCCESS. WHEN I TRY TO EMAIL THEM I DO NOT GET ANY RESPONSE. THERE WAS ONLY MINUTES BETWEEN MY DAUGHTER AND MY REQUEST FOR TICKETS. “JOHN CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET MORE TICKETS? THANKS ISHKAMARIE
Ishkarmarie,
I think that’s the only method. Try creating a new email address and doing it again. Maybe that will help.
JOHN WHEN I TRIED PUTTING A DIFFERENT EMAIL NUMBER I WAS PUT ON A WAIT LIST. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?
Pay someone off at the door? lol
J OHN, I LIKE YOUR SENSE OF H UMOR!!!!!! YOU MAKE ME LAUGH.. ADD THAT TO YOUR TALENT.
I’ve got it. I can audition as a stand up comedian. I’ll just put up a video of the judges and roast them as they comment. Nah, that might not work….
Maybe I could put on a tutu, walk out on all fours and talk in a baby voice as I told jokes. Now that’s the ticket…I’m going to be famous.
I WOULD VOTE FOR YOU!!!!! THAT WOULD BE A VARIETY WORTH WATCHING. REMEMBER THE GUY WITH THE PAPER MASK. HE MADE IT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGES. I DON’T SEE HOW THEY COULD PASS YO9U UP. LOL. THANKS FOR T HE LAUGH. IT IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO WAIT KNOWING I PROBABLY DID NOT MAKE IT. ONLY ONE MORE WEEK, AND THEN WE HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IF WE GET A CALL FOR THE APRIL AUDITIONS. I’M TIRED,
GINA, DID YOU GET CALLED. I NOTICED YOUR ENTERIES STOPPED. IF YOU DID CONGRADULATIONS. I WISH I NEW YOUR NAME SO I COULD WATCH FOR YOU AT THE LIVE AUDITIONS. I HAVE GOT NO EMAILS FROM ANY VARIETY ACTS, WHERE ARE YOU ALL? I AM ATTENDIN THE LIVE SHOW ON MARCH 13. IF I CAN’T BE IN IT I WANT TO WATCH IT LIVE. MY DISAPPOINTMENT WILL GO AWAY EVENTUALLY. THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR, LORD WILLING.
hey i auditiond @ dallas and i was told that we would be notified in march……… but no one has been yet…… so now im hearing that it may be april tilll i hear something………. can someone tell me when i will prob be notified. p.s. i already know that if you dont get notified u arnt picked.
Well,
I have mixed feelings about the whole thing now that I know what I know NOW!! It was a great experience but at the same time, so rigged. Iv’e never really been one to beat around the bush, so I guess I can say I’m a little bitter. It will be interesting to see who made it through…. and who all of us talented individuals lost out too as well.
What can I say…. a lot of it is for ratings. I’m not a quiter so I’ll try out next year; for Simon Cowell’s new show as well.
ISHKAMARIE- NO I HAVE NOT BEEN CALLED AS OF YET BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP HOPE. DON’T FORGET VIDEO SUBMISSIONS ARE STILL BEING ACCEPTED TILL 3/31/10 SO I WOULD SUGGEST SENDING IN A VIDEO AS WELL! MY NAME IS GINA TAYLOR AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE ME ON THIS SEASONS SHOW! IF NOT I WILL AUDITION FOR XFACTOR AND MAYBE AGAIN FOR NEXT SEASON! GOOD LUCK!
can someone tell me about the XFactor show??? do u have to be a certain age to audition??? and when can u audition???
xfactor is simon cowells show that he is bringing here to the states,its like american idol but open to any age and i think audtions are supposed to start this summer.
LISA, AMERICAN IDOL GOES FROM AGE 14 TO AGE 28. NOT TOO MANT OVER 25. HOPE THIS HELPS.
actually i think ai is 16-29,and xfactor will be open to all ages which is great.
Hi all, please check your facts. I would not want to disappoint anyone. I know they lowered the age for american idol last year to 14.
They did that because of how many talented teenagers there is. X-factor may not have have a age limit but the over 25’s is really difficult to get into although not impossible. When it comes to the US it may not have the the same requirements. Simon Cowell is in charge and he is not easy to please. I hope everyones dream comes true although as we have seen with america’s got talent sometimes it just takes a little longer and maybe a different route then we planned. good luck all.
GINA,
DO YOU SING OPERA? COULD YOU EMAIL ME A SAMPLE.
ISHKAMARIE@AOL.COM. I WILL KEEP PRAYING FOR YOU.
JUST ONE MORE MONTH TO WAIT. I AM GOING TO THE LIVE SHOW ON SUNDAY MARCH 13TH. I.LL WRITE YOU ABOUT IT. THAT SORT OF MAKES UP FOR NOT BEING PICKED. I AM EXCITED. IT SHOULD BE FUN.
Hi ISHKAMARIE..My son sings Opera
Ish,
You have to share what it’s like at the live show with all of us.
Thanks.
although dissappointed that i will not be performing I am still excited to be going. I live 800 miles from L.A. so it is a long car ride. I can only afford to go for one night this time instead of three like I did for my audition. I am sad that I was not chosen. I knew not everyone, good and would get through but I did not think it would effect me this way. People warned me but I thought I could handle the rejection. Going to the show is my families way of making up for it. I love my family. They always try to find ways to make up for dissapointments. It was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday and I will never forget the way I spent my last birthday. Next year I will know how to make my audition better and perhaps that will be me my year. When I return I will tell you all about it. I am sure I will have a blast. tell then think happy thoughts. Remember you have one more month be for you break out the kelnex. Bye for now. ishkamarie
in case you don’t know what I wrote., I meant to say, “good or bad ” talent. We all know a lot of good talent will not make it through because there is just too much. I will wish all of you who made it good luck. I do not think I could boo anyone off stage after experiencing how difficult it is to get up there and just audition the first time in that little room in front of the producers. Learned a lot. Will try to be a little more sensitive to the feelings of others. ishkamarie

Thanks Gina.
why hasnt anyone posted if they were called,la. is going in front of the celeb judges aoon
I HAVE BE WONDERING THE SAME THING. I THINK WE WERE TOLD NOT TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SELECTION PROCESS, . . I DON’T KNOW IF I TRUST THE PRODUCERS ANYMORE. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING. COULD IT BE THAT THE CONTESTANTS WHO GOT THROUGH W ERE PRESELECTED AT THE AUDITIONS IN LA. IS THAT WHAT THEY CAN NOT TELL US ??????????
WE ARE NOT DUMMIES. YOU CAN SEND THAT TOO THE PRODUCERS. SOMEONE., AT LEAST ONE PERSON SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH AND LIVED T O TELL ABOUT IT.
Quite possible that those that made it to LA aren’t allowed to say anything. Part of the contract I’m sure.
ISHKAMARIE- HELLO SORRY FOR THE DELAY OF RESPONSE I AM BACK IN SCHOOL. I JUST LOOKED AT THE AGT FACE BOOK AND I POSTED A QUESTION ABOUT LA AUDITIONS AND WHO WAS CALLED. HERE ARE SOME OF THE RESPONSES I GOT BACK-
FROM T.F.
One guy from the LA I know for sure made it in. They told him right on the spot. His name was Thomas sarae or Thomas sarian sarain something like that. He was in the same audition room.
The LA people who audtioned have all been set. It wouldn’t really be call backs. Its pre-lims before the live audtions. So basically another round then the live round. And they told you if you were in or not. If you vid- audtioned, they would call you.
I audtioned in LA 2007,2008,2009 and 2010. I made it past the beginning but didnt make it to live audtions. it sucked not being able to go father but hey theres always next year.
Oh I found out the name of that really cool breaking group from LA. It was called. Skills crew.
Also the usually don’t give the calls til later this month for the prelims. The final call is usually late April.
I AM SUPER CONFUSED BY THIS INFORMATION. IT LOOKS AS IF THIS WOMAN IS SAYING THAT IF YOU WENT TO LA THEY TOLD THE PEOPLE IF THEY MADE IT OR NOT. BUT THEN AT THE END SHE SAYS THEY WILL CALL BY APRIL. STILL CROSSING FINGERS.

OH YEAH AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT IF I AM AN OPERA SINGER I AM NOT. I AM A VARIETY SINGER. I AM STILL TRYING TO GET SOMETHING UP ON YOUTUBE AND WHEN I DO I WILL POST IT ON HERE!
I THOUGHT THE AUDITIONS IN LA WERE CALLED THE PRELIMINARIES. DID YOU HAVE A SECOND AUDTION AFTER LA. T HEY MAKE IT SOUND LIKE AFTER THE LA AUDITIONS THEY PICK THE CONTESTANTS THAT ARE AUDITIONED IN FRONT OF THE JUDGES. I AM SO CONFUSED. THERE IS ANOTHER AUDITION BEFORE YOU GO IN FRONT OF THE JUDGES. IS THAT WHAT YOU MEANT BY THE FACT THAT YOU DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE JUDGES. IF THAT IS TRUE THEN WHAT DO THEY MEAN BY THE STATEMENT THAT THEY ARE STILL REVIEWING THE ACTS UNTIL MID APRIL. ARE THEY ONLY REVIEWING THE ACTS THAT MADE IT TO A SECOND AUDITION THAT WAS DONE WITHOUT THE JUDGES.. I HAVE WATCHED EVERY TELEVISED AUDITION. SOME OF THEM THAT GOT THROUGH LAST SEASON WERE HORRIBLE. ONE MAN UT A PAPER BAG OVER H IS HEAD AND SANG. HOW DID HE GET THROUGH TWO AUDITIONS AND MOVE ON TO THE JUDGES. I GUESS I AM A LITTLE DISPPPINTED ABOUT HOW THEY PICK THE TALENT.
THE SHOWS ARE COMING UP, DOES THAT MEAN NO ONE ELSE WHO AUDITIONED HAS A CHNCE OF BEING SELECTED. IF THAT IS THE CASE THEY SHOULD JUST TELL US NOW SO WE CAN FORGET ABOUT IT AND STOP WAITING FOR PHONE CALL. I SORRY YOU SDID NOT MAKE IT. YOU MUST BE TALENTED TO MAKE IT AS FAR AS YOU HAVE. I WILL BE IN THE AUDIENCE SATURDAY NIGHT,…. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE. I AM GOING TO THINKI LONG AND HARD BEFORE I DO THIS AGAIN. I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THIS IS A LITTLE DISHONEST. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE WHO MADE IT
GINA YOU SAID THE LA SHOW IS SET. DOES THAT MEAN APRIL IS SET ALSO???
ISHKAMARIE- your guess is as good as mine. I just copied and pasted the comments I found from the AGT Facebook page so you would be in the loop since you don’t have a Facebook. These are comments from someone who knows a few people got through.
As far as it looks we look as though we are just waiting until April (those of us from the LA auditions) all we can do is hope for the best.
G
THANKS GINA FOR FOR FORWARDING THE INFORMATION TO ME. MAY BE IT WILL MAKE MORE SINCE TO ME AFTER I ATTEND THE TAPING ON SATURDAY NIGHT…. KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT GOING.
WILL TELL EVERYONE ALL ABOUT T HE EXPERIENCE.
well l.a. tomorrow is your big day,you all must be so excited,congrats and good luck to you. i am still waiting for my callback but i have time since new york doesnt go in front of the judges till april
I WILL BE LEAVING SOON TO GO TO LA TO ATTEND THE TAPPING OF AMERICAS GOT TALENT. I FEEL LUCKY TO LIVE SO CLOSE TO LA THAT I CAN DO THIS. I AM ALL SO LUCKY MY FAMILY IS WILLING TO TAKE ME EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT GET SELECTED. EVEN THOUGH THE TICKETS ARE FREE IT IS EXPENSIVE FOR HOTEL, FOOD, PARKING ETC. TO GO TO LA. WE AS ARE SPENDING MONEY WE REALLY DO ON NOT HAVE TO SPEND JUST TO FULFILL A DREAM OF MINE. GOING TO THE TAPING IS AS CLOSE AS I AM GOING TO GET THIS TIME TO BEING ON THE SHOW. NEXT YEAR I WILL BE BETTER PREPARED FOR THE AUDITION PROCESS. I GUESS AFTER I AUDITIONED IN FRONT OF THE PRODUCERS THE SECOND TIME THAT THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND. I AM GLAD I DID NOT KNOW THE PROCESS AT THE TIME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEVESTATED TO GET THAT CLOSE TO BEING CHOSEN AND THEN NOT MAKE IT. ANYWAY, WHEN I RETURN I WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT. SAY A PRAYER FOR SAFE DRIVING, AND THAT I AM NOT DISSAPPOINTED AND I WILL WRITE YOU ALL SOON. ISHKAMARIE@AOL.COM
Ok, Went to the LA taping with the judges last nite, (March 13) I noticed that all the contestants for the show last nite where golden ticket auditions at the original auditions in LA including the performer I was a guest of. The golden ticket is a pass to the front of the line and the holders (there where alot of them) actually had an appointment time to apear instead of waiting with every one else. They where treated as individuals rather than groups of contestants. So here is my question, did any of the general auditions get call backs? or is this thing rigged and just using every one there as TV. I would like to hear from people if they’ve gotten call backs. Here’s a copy of the guest letter we got to appear, even we had special admittance.

WOW! If this is the case I have a feeling several of the people who went to the contest thinking that it was going to be a fair chance to all who were asked to come and audition are going to be really ticked off. Kind of makes me wonder if the ones with the ‘golden ticket’ were the only ones they were considering and if so why would they waste all of our time?
Gina
I agree, the only people I saw where the same ones I saw at the audition. I’ve talked to a few friends who are in the industry, what they had to say was rather disturbing and had nothing to do with finding new talent. Hope sells, the more hope there is the bigger the buck, aparently all the bad talent that is let through is for the “are you serious” and “what was that guy thinking auditioning” We all know they got past auditions BUT, did they actually stand in line, or were they invited? There were a couple of nut cases upstairs with us as well. Really, my whole view on this reality tv stuff has been blown out of the water, I used to think “thats pretty cool, all these people get an opportunity of a life time and then see how it really happens, VERY DISSAPOINTED! Still if you stood in line for the auditions I would like to hear if you got a call back, atleast there would be some hope for REALITY TV.
Greg
Greg,
This was pretty much apparent since Susan Boyle said that she was invited to come and perform on Britain’s Got Talent. Makes sense why the show would want to “recruit” talented people to come and audition for the show. Makes for a better show.
Although, I don’t think it’s completely accurate to say that no one gets through that doesn’t have the “golden ticket.” I’m sure that some of the acts that have performed on the show didn’t get invited. Some of the singers come to mind. The little girl band that was on last season came on this site and didn’t sound like they had a special invite either.
I also think it’s pretty safe to assume that some of the freak show acts that they have were people who just walked on to the show and didn’t have a golden ticket. That’s why it has to be open to everyone, so that they can find the people who are not talented and willing to make fools of themselves.
Certainly, this taints the show a little bit, but that’s one problem with being so involved in a show.
HI EVERYONE, I JUST GOT BACK THIS MORNING FROM LA AFTER ATTENDING THE TAPPING OF AGT. AFTER I SLEEP AWHILE, COLLECT MY THOUGHTS, AND ATTEMPT TO FIND SOME GOOD THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT IT I WILL TELL YOU FROM BEGINNING TO END MY EXPERIENCE,..
ISHKAMARIE
I sent you an email if you want to email me your experience and then I’ll post it as its very own post so more people see it.
Hi there! I am going to a taping in Portland, OR tomorrow and am wondering when I should line up. It starts at 6pm… has anyone been to a taping as a regular person? Not a VIP? We have about 8 people in our group so we want to get seats together…
Thanks for your help everyone!
