America’s Got Talent 2010: Laryngospasms

So what is a laryngospasm? According to Wikipedia and other websites – medical or otherwise – it is an uncontrolled reaction (aka spasm) to the vocal chords. So I suppose if you’re singing, that’s one way of looking at it.

But the other, lesser known definition of Laryngospasms (or Spasms for short), is the male singing quartet of practicing Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists.

The best way to describe this group is that they take popular songs and create musical, medical parodies of them. Case in point in a Christmas party many moons ago a couple of the original members were singing Breaking Up is Hard to Do by Neil Sedaka Neil Sedaka - The Very Best of Neil Sedaka - Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, and thanks to a suggestion from an audience member, created a parody called:

Waking Up is Hard to Do.

With a couple of albums and videos on YouTube. They have gigs throughout the country all while still keeping their day jobs!

So with a steady gig going on, a chance to go on America’s Got Talent seemed inevitable. As it turns out, their act was all fun and campiness, but is there a spot for them in the mainstream music scene?

No matter the answer, this has been an established group for almost two decades running and have gigs scheduled throughout the United States through 2011. Just go to the The Laryngospasms website for more information. Listen to their music, find out where they are singing at next. Or head to their YouTube channel to see music videos that they have created as well as a video about their trip to the America’s Got Talent auditions in Chicago. Finally if you’re a Facebook junkie, just join their Facebook page to show your support.

America’s Got Talent 2010 Chicago Acts (Part 1)

Hello all! So after a week or so of digesting and relaxing I’m finally ready to give you all a sneak peek on acts of that could potentially be on television during the Chicago Auditions that were held on April 27 and 28.

Over the course of the next month, PureAmericasGotTalent.com will provide you with information of acts that that have gone through the Chicago auditions, some of the judges comments/expressions, the audience’s expression and any online information in regards to the group for you to enjoy.

However, as always there are some groups where information is scarce or impossible to find, in which case you the reader could help us out. If you have any knowledge of any of the acts feel free to leave a comment or simply contact us and let us know so we could honor them with a post for others to see.

Keep in mind that although AGT Chicago had four tapings, this blogger was only able to make it to two of the tapings, which adds up to thirty-one acts! One per day. =) So enjoy.

This first post is dedicated to the nameless acts where information was scarce or confusing online:

America’s Got Talent 2010 Audition Cities and Dates

I haven’t been updating this site too much lately, but A LOT of people have been talking about the auditions for America’s Got Talent 2010 in the comments. So, I figured I’d give my readers an update on the America’s Got Talent Auditions.
First thing you should know is that you can (and should) pre-register for the AGT 2010 Auditions.  Then, the official site will notify you when the auditions are happening and the details you’ll need for the audition (DISCLAIMER: This is not the official site.  This is just a fan site.  You can find the official AGT 2010 Audition website here.)

Ok, so as of the day of this posting, here’s the audition locations for America’s Got Talent 2010:
January 23-24, 2010
January 30-31, 2010
February 13-14, 2010
February 20-21, 2010

February 28-March 1st, 2010

Auditions are over for the following cities:

Chicago

If you can’t make it to any of those locations, then don’t worry.  You can also submit a video audition online.  In past seasons I know a number of people submitted a video online and went to the audition.  Not sure how much that really helped, but probably doesn’t hurt your chances.

That’s all for now.  You also might want to check out one person’s suggestions on what to take to the America’s Got Talent auditions.  Also, please come back and tell us your experience with the auditions and share your talent with us.  If you want to share anonymously, then drop us a note on our Contact Us page.

America’s Got Talent Season 5 Auditions (AGT 2010)

A notice was posted to the official AGT audition website about the America’s Got Talent Season 5 auditions being over. I meant to post this when I first saw it, but I’ve been a little bit busy lately. However, I felt it only right to post it since I’d posted so much information about America’s Got Talent auditions.

The cool part is that the official America’s Got Talent audition website also has this posted:

Auditions for Season 4 of America’s Got Talent are now over. All the acts have been notified.

The show will premiere on JUNE 23 9/8C ON NBC.

Online pre-registration for season 5 (which will air in 2010) will start June 15, 2009. Check back for details.

I’m certain this will be bad news for those who auditioned for America’s Got Talent season 4 and never heard back from the show. However, it’s great news for those interested in participating in the America’s Got Talent season 5 auditions. Yes, that’s America’s Got Talent 2010. Seems like it’s a long ways away, but it will go faster than we think.

Anyway, best of luck to those that will be on America’s Got Talent season 4 on June 23, 2009 and even more luck to those who brave the crowds to audition for America’s Got Talent 2010.
