How To Audition for American Idol

When you see American Idol auditions on TV it seems like everyone gets to see Simon, Paula, and Randy, but this isn’t true. I’ll show you what the process in an American Idol casting call is all about. Keep on reading this article to find out.

Fill out this quick form and find casting calls for American Idol.

It has been already 9 seasons of American Idol and there will be more coming. With every upcoming season, there will be more casting calls to find the next American Idol. When you watch an episode of American Idol about the auditions, they glamourize the whole thing and it doesn’t really work that way.

The reality is that you are in line with other candidates for hours and hours until you see the casting directors. You don’t even get a chance to audition in front of a camera or in front of celebrity judges. What happens is that you have to past this milestone before you can see the celebrity judges you see on TV during an American Idol episode. Next the casting directors will pick you based on how you look and if you sing good. The casting directors will also purposely pick people that suck so that the public can laugh at them on national television. The casting directors will definitely not choose you based on singing alone If you don’t have that look: Caucasian, attractive, and with a story, you won’t make it.

This is not to sway you away from auditioning, this is just looking at the past people that casting directors have chosen. Here’s a perfect example. Remember William Hung with that song “She Bangs?” Although the casting directors knew he was horrible, they also knew that they could use him for ratings. It didn’t matter that he was the laughing stock of the whole nation for a week. All that mattered to the casting directors was getting viewers and getting Nielson ratings.

Less than half of a percent of all candidates on the show get to see the celebrity judges and be on TV. I don’t tell you these things to discourage you, but instead to make you try harder to get it.

Whether or not you’re looking to be a singer, music is your background so start off with music video casting calls.

Good luck with your American Idol audition and I hope to see you on a cover of the next CD.
