The following is the experience that someone shared with me about their experience at the America’s Got Talent 2010 Portland auditions.
My Portland Oregon audition! On March 1st, I auditioned for America’s Got Talent in Portland, Oregon. I left early with my mom, expecting a large crowd like the one that had showed up on the first day. When I got there, there was no line anywhere. We walked in and right through security and the place where you get your audition number and wrist band. We entered into the waiting room to find only about a forth of the place had people. Since we had filled out our paperwork earlier, we walked past the people filling theirs out and right to the people who checked them. We joked around with the people working and made them smile while they checked over our paperwork. We then went and sat down, waiting for my number to be called. The first group of people auditioning were called and they were filmed as they headed out the door of the waiting room. We waited a little longer, talking to random people and having them preform their acts for us. A few people were interviewed and they scanned the area a couple times with the camera. My number was called not long after and I joined my group. They only filmed the first group, but there was a camera outside the door just sitting there and filming the people walking by. We lined up in numerical order and then we were split in groups of ten. Once my group of ten got to the chairs outside of the audition room, we were split into groups of five. We waited for about ten minutes before we were called into the room. There was no camera. Just three girls sitting behind computers. We said our name, age, where we were from, and what we were singing. Afterward, they thanked us and told us they would call if you made it through the next round. A friend I met there told me that they asked when they would be contacted and the people told them it would be before the 16th (Because the show films on the 17th and 18th). No one was called back in, and I didn’t see anyone in any group while I was waiting be called back in. I’m not sure it’s a good thing? We got to the audition about 9 and left at 11 something. The process was fairly quick and painless, but it was a lot of fun. I made a bunch of new friends and had a blast. Portland definitely has some talented people. Let’s hope for the best!
