Got Talent? Audition for Simon Cowell's New Show America's Got Talent
Monday March 27, 2006
American Idol judge Simon Cowell and the producers of American Idol are looking for talented people to compete on the upcoming competition series America's Got Talent. They are describing the show, which will air next summer on NBC, as "the largest and most comprehensive talent search the country has ever seen." Unlike American Idol, America's Got Talent will welcome dancers, comedians, and novelty acts -- not just singers. "This is the show I've always wanted to make," Simon said in a press release.
If you've "got talent," you may audition for the show at the following casting calls:
* Los Angeles -- April 6, 7 and 8 -- Sheraton Los Angeles Downtown Hotel, 711 South Hope Street (south side of Wilshire), Los Angeles, 90017. APRIL 6 -- official kickoff with Simon Cowell
* Chicago -- April 12 and 13 -- The W Hotel (Chicago City Center), 172 West Adams Street, Chicago, IL 60603
* New York City -- April 17 -- The Westin Hotel Times Square, 270 West 43rd Street, New York, NY 10036
* East Elmhurst, New York -- April 19 -- The Crowne Plaza Hotel (LaGuardia Airport area), 104-04 Ditmars Blvd., East Elmhurst, NY 11369
* Atlanta -- April 22 and 23 -- America's Mart, Building #2 (Atlanta Gift Mart), 230 Spring St., Atlanta, GA 30303
If you're under 18, you must be accompanied by an adult and must have parental permission. If you can't make it to the open casting calls, go to www.nbc.com and click on "casting."

is there any time left to try out i really want alot badly!
I really would like to have a chance to audition. How to I make sure that I make the next Atlanta audition? I did not know about the auditions until I went online on 6-21-06.
I Cant make to atlanta! I live in NC and I want to get on the show, since they let kids in to!Is there anyway I can go to Raleigh for this???
Why are there no auditions in miami? are the judges coming here because i have no time to make it to no other state at this time. I write poetry im a poet and i feel that i should get a chance to be on tv expressing my feelings to USA i just want to know if they are coming to miami, fl for auditions?
Hi…when can someone audition for your show in the New York City area….I worked for Arthur Godfrey for years& have come across the most amazing pianist/keyboard artist/would like him to have a chance to audition with you …kindly advise…he lives in Pa….graduate of 3 major conservatories in classical & voted #1 in charts in Japan few years ago in cross-over/neo-classic rock…he deserves a shot, please send info. thanks Sandi Linden(Mc Carthy)
HI..ummm when is you’r next auditoin in the NY area? Because i have been singing almost all my life and i have been singing in all of my school shows since kindergarten and i would like to show my singing and danceing talent to america insted of my school please send me an e-mail back.
I personally thing that while Piers the judge that is trying terribly to act like Simon on American Idol has got me and many people I know to quite watching the show. Yes its one thing to be honest but when you start making little kids cry that’s one thing but when you start telling excellent acts like ” Quick Change” that they need to do something else he is just showing his stupidity and ignorance. They are a great act and unlike a singer or a juggler they cant just change there song or item they are throwing in the air. to me he is trying so hard to be rude and (simon like) that he has actualluy lost reality on how to be a judge Personally I and several people I know have lost interest and will not even watch the end of the show and if you think you have done good by sturring up attention and getting complaints think again. its not like Howard Stone where i will tune in next week to see what he will say. If I wanted to watch people being ignorant to young kids and worthy adults i would have to have my head checked. One more thing then the way he kept following up his evaluations with i like the way you “listened to our comments” I think he realized he was wrong and was too ” trying to be Simon like ” to admit he was wrong
Thank You
