After 3 years of this television program, people either can’t tell they suck or need someone to actually tell them that they do. Just because the acoustics in your shower make you sound like Pavarotti in concert doesn’t mean you sound good once you get out. It’s a bit like farting in the shower…. always a little louder and has a great reverb.
Obviously the first step in becoming a contestant is finding the city where auditions are being held. The next step, even more obvious, is to enter the contest by auditioning.
Why audition?
The audition serves as a filter to rake through all the muck and mire that is pitched in front of three judges for months to come. If you don’t know the judges by name then you may have Alzheimer’s already and should probably give up the dream of being America’s next idol.
There are plenty of people who come to audition. Competition is very tough. You should definitely bring your “A” game because you do not want to be another William Hung. Or maybe you want the negative attention, it’s all up to you. If you enjoy singing karaoke, this is probably not the event for you. If you sing in the shower and think you sound good, you should probably not audition. If you are easily offended by sharp criticism, you may want to sit on the sidelines for this one and watch somone else get torn apart mentally.
Well, now you know what to do, you will need to prepare for your audition adventure.
As you may have seen in the news, people wait for days in line to be seen by the judges. You will want to get a good spot in line so you can minimize your wait outside in a line full of potential idols. Did I already mention you should be able to sing well? You should eat a balanced meal, work out any vocal issues and get plenty of rest before you perform. Most of the contestants have been preparing for this event for months if not years.
If you want to go on to Hollywood then you will need to be in great mental and physical condition. I would suggest getting into shape because nobody wants to see a chubby guy or girl onstage unless it’s a cooking show. Seriously, a little exercise never hurt. Unless you are the next Aretha Franklin or Frank Sinatra and can belt out any tune perfectly on command, I would take image improvement into consideration.
Other important items to think about in preparing for American Idol should include song selection and wardrobe. Picking the right song to showcase your talent is going to make or break your idol experience. The songs most people choose to sing do not fit their actual abilities and they fail miserably. Choose wisely and ask a friend to critique!
Aside from choosing a good song to sing, you should have some cool threads to wear. I love watching the people that come in wearing torn clothing and flip flops. This is a contest for professionals, not a beach party.
One final note would be to review all of the past seasons of the show to see what worked for the judges and what did not. Each year the finalists all seem to possess similar traits so pay attention!
