Are You The Next American Idol? Strategies To Get On The Show

By Dennis Duncan




It's really simple to get passed the regional Idol judges. You need to be realistic with your vocal talent and learn how to sing. Have you had vocal coaching or lessons? The aforementioned suggestions aren't imperative; however, these tips can be sound to a career. So, it is not mandatory but vocal coaching or lessons can give you additional tools in your arsenal that will develop correct technique and breathing.

I endorse vocal coaching if you can find someone who is an expert in the field and can help you. Take into account that only a hand full of the judges for the regional auditions, the pre-Idol judges, if you will, have experienced time on the "other side of the glass" as a recording artist. In reality, many of these regional judges are people with no singing talent whatsoever. Yet, most do have some sort of extensive knowledge in entertainment. So, you should appease the judges in your regional auditions. Making it beyond the regional judges can be successfully accomplished with a well thought out plan and proper song choices.

What not to do: Undoubtedly, i wouldn't recommend go dressed in a chimpanzee suit. Do not paint yourself red. Don't go dressed up like an idiot or you will be perceived as one. Don't be disillusioned by believing that you need to stand out from the other contestants in the regional auditions by doing something buffoonish or dancing some humiliating dance.

Let me be honest. Excelling at the regional auditions is in part based on singing talent and additionally part casting by the producers of the show. You won't be in control of the casting part. You very well may be a better singer than the contestant next to you but for some reason unbeknownst to you that person auditioning may get through to the next round likely because they are appearing or acting quirky. If you are wanting your fifteen minutes of fame, then dress up in something cockamamie, and then prepare to get on TV and be back home later that day because you won't get much further than that.

For entertainment, the show producers of the regional auditions allow several of the foolheaded contestants to make it through the regionals. But very few of the chosen have any staying power, if you will, and are simply chosen to the next round for entertainment value on TV.

I've watched these auditions from a distance for years now. If you are good and believe you have vocal talent then simply go to the auditions and display your vocal talent; but, I'll warn you, you'll only have ten to twenty seconds to sing. So be prepared to "turn it on" as soon as the regional judges say go and don't get bogged down by telling the regional judges your life story about how your kitten inspired you to audition. Just do your thing.
