Full Version: Video Submission Questions
Can anyone tell me if they know what the Video Submission deadline is? Also, if I submit a video, will I still have to audition in person? Any help would be great! Thanks!
yes you will have to audition in person.

ok - not to be a pain - but then why submit a video at all?

Actually if you've sent a video I don't think you have to audition in person...it's done in lieu of a live audition. I read a recent story on "Sir Links A Lot" about a guy who sent in a video a year ago and recently got a call to go to Chicago auditions. BUT, I think a live audition along with a videotape is a better way to make sure you're seen! It really can't hurt.

well f you live close enough then a video submission would not be needed...i can see your kinda worried but, just make sure you get a email and go from there.
VIDEO TAPES, Someone has to know!!!
Ok - I read on another post that the producers aren't even looking at any video tapes that are being sent in - that they are just looking at the audition recordings in the audition cities.
Although I doubt any of you are producers on the show and would have "inside" knowledge, is there anyone out there who has heard this as well?
I am not able to go to my audition time/date/city and NEED to send in a tape, but if they are not being viewed......
PLEASE HELP!!!

send it in anyway. Don't take a chance on what someone heard or what they might have done last year. Just do it. And keep a copy so you have it to use again later.

Absolutely send in a tape, I sent a tape in and they called me to go to an audition. I hope they judge on both!

This is my first post - I think I hit the wrong button, so I apologize if it posts incorrectly (it looks like I'm trying to take credit for Queenfish's post, which I'm not).
Anyway, yes, you must send the tape anyway. I also sent mine in November, have submitted online for the New York auditions a few times and although I haven't heard from them, still hope to although am not sure whether I would have heard something by now or not.
I want to add my 2 cents worth, however. Whereas I agree the stakes are high for anyone who goes to the trouble to audition (tape or live) for this show, and that nobody likes rejection, it is the nature of the beast. I've been kicking around this business as a singer/producer for close to 30 yrs (not TV granted, but NYC clubs and stage) and the way to deal with the wait is not to wait by the phone on pins and needles by treating any one show as the end-all-or-be-all to a career. Instead what helps is to get from one audition to the next and in between auditions work some more on the craft. Then somewhere in between you will land something. It may not be stardom right away, but I just feel that the real reward is discovery and process of creating and refining the skill. My tape was very good and professionally made, etc. but that doesn't mean they are even looking for my "type" or particular talent, demographic or whatever. As we all know, also, they have to choose a certain number of no-talents to counter those who do have it. If I'm not chosen, I simply have a new demo now I can use for other purposes and can audition again next year, if the show's still around and if I so choose. And if it's not, trust me, there'll be another one. I certainly didn't sit around and wait at the phone but was out auditioning for other things, a couple for which I was called back, planning a new club act, etc.
Anyway, I didn't mean to go on, but to share how I keep things in perspective because I think I'm reading about a lot of anxiety on here. This was actually meant to be tagged to another post on another of the boards, but I accidentally hit the wrong button and got so confused I went ahead and put it here.
Send the tape in regardless of anything anyone else said. By the way, Queenfish, I was born and raised in the Missouri bootheel as well.

oh yeah??? where from??? I am from Caruthersville. Where are you now? Do I know you?? (I am 43 yrs old). The bootheel ain't big ya know. lol Hey, i like what you said. I said basically the same thing to some of the younger auditioners on another thread. I have, over the years, learned to really enjoy my craft. I find the most enjoyment in my craft when I take a song that I or someone else has written and I get the opportunity to sing it, record it , all my way, and then the writer pitches it to the big names. I really really enjoy what I do. anyway, looking forward to hearing from you again.

we've discussed this a few times in the past months and I don't believe any one really knows. Good luck to you though. I know that some who sent in videos got invited to an audition, like the rest of us. I would assume that those people would need to go to an audition to be considerd, but that is just my opinion. Other than that, I really have no clue.

I don't think you have to audition in person, but it couldn't hurt. From what I've read, if they liked your video, they asked you to come in, but gave a special private audition.

No one can answer this question, since there is no deadline posted on the AGT site.
America's Got Talent will tape in Las Vegas on May 11th.
