Anyone get a callback that already auditoned in the other cities?
Callbacks from Nashville, Orlando and Charlotte auditions.
Just curious if anyone from the first 3 cities have gotten an offical callback. It has bee 2 weeks since Orlando and will be 2 weeks on Wednesday and Thursday for Nashville. I think they told us 2-3 weeks, so there is still time.

No reason to get bummed out for a few more weeks though. Just because someone doesn't get to go to a tv taping, doesn't mean they won't go to Vegas. Just keep swimming, swimming ,swimming so to speak.
But I must say, the excitment is great.

Orlando auditioners, any callbacks?
should i give up hope??
I was a singer who tried out in Orlando. After my group of 10, the called me back into the room alone. They asked me to sing my song again, and asked me a few questions about my application. Then they asked me to wait to be interviewed by a producer. After about an hour I was interviewed by a woman for about 15 minutes and then they took some video of my friends and I talking. I have heard NOTHING since then. They seemed so interested, I am just wondering if I should stop waiting for a call??

my husband auditioned in Orlando and was interviewed like three times after his his audition. He was asked to sing more than once in front of the judges and asked to sing in front of the crowd all while being taped. No callback yet. Maybe like American Idol they are looking for the sad stories first then the actual talent. If thats the case then they shouldn't have followed people around with cameras and given them false hope. Not to mention how much money it cost to have him fly to Orlando and stay at a Hotel. If he doesn't get a callback he won't be trying out next year. Sorry to sound so angry its just come on already...someone has to know something.

My husband audition in Nashville. We haven't heard anything back yet. I think he's going to go to Atlanta & audition there. If you make it pass the producers you go to the judges. It seems in Atlanta you find out faster. We have no idea how this process works. No details information is posted.

I can understand that you are frustrated but this is an extremely arduous process that has many moving parts. I look at it this way...if it is meant to be, it will work out and those that go on have the best talent and or the most compelling story. I wish everyone success as we all wait on the outcome of this incredibly cool opportunity!

The people in the holding room said 2 weeks-2 months; however after my son's audition the male "judge" looked at me and said, "You'll get a phone call within four weeks if he makes the show."

finally this thing let me post!! LOL. well, I haven't heard anyhting either, nor have a few people i have spoken to. most people on here seem to have had a good response from producers, and they seem to be the ones that would get a callback. I auditioned in Charlotte, NC on Feb 3rd. It was so fun!!!
Hopefully if someone gets a callback and cant "publically" announce it, someone could post, "no comment" on callbacks, or something.lol.

Feb 20 2008, 12:14 PM
when I auditioned for the judges or producers, the male smiled and said, "Wow, you have a really nice voice." I said thank you (of course), and he said: "well the way this things works is, we let the producers look at the tapes of the auditions and if they like you, you get to auditon in front of the judges. So, if they like you they should give you a call in around 2-3 weeks," and moving his eyes upwards like thinking, he added "or well about a month." the lady beside him pointed out something on my application and he aske dme about that, and said well hopefullt they'll give you a call. SO, i am still waiting and cant help but think positive. They all smiled and seemd to find humor in something about me, even when I spoke.lol. The camera guy kept smiling like he was gonna laugh.lol. not sure what it means, but hey, It felt comfortable, and liked. my sapce page is myspace.com/theroadrunnerz

I have heard from several people who were even interviewed at their auditons and so far not one has recieved a callback. I am pretty sure the callbacks will be "called" to Atlanta b/c the dates for taping the shows are 27th and 28th, and auditoners are scheduled to come 24th and 25th. I do know that the taping will be at Cobb Energy Perfroming Arts Center, in Atlanta. They may know something there. If anyone finds out, let us know!!!!

ok here is the scoop. I have changed my name for obvious reasons. this I can tell you from first hand experience. lets just say someone I know got a callback on this past monday from one of the producers from the Orlando Auditions. This person I know is going to be going in front of the judges. I don't want to say when cause I don't want to say too much. I don't want others to lose hope. This producer did say that they are still calling a lot of people back so maybe they didn't get back to you yet. Good luck all

Don't give up hope. That is the last thing I want to do is ruin anyone's hope. Maybe this particular producer is quicker in calling back people. I do know that the staff is very busy with calling people and meetings about every little detail pertaining to the show.

Dear Mom:
I recieved a call Monday around 6pm. I was given a number to call them back. Said that they would like for me to be on standby for any of the four locations around the country where the Celeb. will be used and that they would fly me out to addition for them if they needed talent at those locations. I said I would be available. Oh they did call my home directily. I hope this helps. Good luck to you all and Merry Christmas Always,

I'm just curious to know if anyone from the Nashville auditions have received a call back from the Producers. I understand if you don't want to mention it on the message board, and, if that is the case, just send me an email letting me know 'yes' or 'no'. I know Charlotte has already began callbacks. i'm just seeing if they've begun callbacks for Nashville. Thanks everyone, and DON'T give up hope. Good Luck!!!

Okay, at the ORL auditions, I was very lucky to have an AGT member quietly come up to us in line and ask if anybody had any questions, I asked about callbacks and she said people should know by March, I asked beginning or end of March? She said beginning, so I'm giving it til mid March. I know she was "In the Know" because later she was the main judge. Now I 'm just hoping that my technical questions while in line didn't hurt my daughters chances.

I auditioned in Orlando and I had a great time. There were so many truly talented people there and I really think that even though they talked to some and had them perform more then once was not a sure thing on being called back. It is scripted I think and they have already decided what they are looking for. But I had a good time anyway and I feel bad for the emotional pain some were caused by not knowing they may not choose you no matter how talented you are. I heard in Orlando some people got to use music. Well everyone keep trying out and have fun with it.
Please take a listen to my music and give some feedback.
