How do performers audition for America’s Got Talent?
Each year, America’s Got Talent sees hundreds of amazing acts from singers to magicians.
In order to get on the show, performers have to audition.
However, the process is more than just showing up and showing the judges what they’ve got.

Additionally, if they can’t do either, they’ll have the opportunity to send a 90-second video audition.
NBC’s Unscripted Formats Manager, Theresa Graham told NBC: “If they think that somebody is worth considering, they put them through to our executive producers.
“After they say yes, then the Act will go to audition in front of the Judges. We all see everything play out from there.”
While auditions for season 19 have already closed, the show will open auditions for season 20 soon.

What do performers need to bring to their audition?
If the producers move you to the celebrity judge audition, performers should be sure they’re “camera ready.”
This means they will need to be fully in costume, hair, and makeup would need to be done prior to coming, and performers will need to bring all props with them.
If you have your own music, producers will put you in contact with the music coordinator who will help edit your track so it reflects the 90-second audition time.
While performers would need to be fully dressed for their audition, they aren’t allowed to wear clothes with logos on them.
