You may think that if you get an American Idol audition, you get to perform in front of the judges you see on TV: Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson. But this is not true at all. In this article, I’ll let you know the entire process it takes for the American Idol audition and tell you what you should expect. Continue reading and I’ll give you all the nitty gritty details.

Fill out this quick form and find casting calls for American Idol.

American Idol is already at season 9, that means 9 years already of American Idol. What that means is that you’ll see more auditions for American Idol. When you watch an episode of American Idol about the auditions, they glamourize the whole thing and it doesn’t really work that way.

The truth is that you will be in line for hours at a time. Also you don’t get to perform in front of Randy, Paula, or Simon. There will be no cameras unless they film you in line for a fraction of a second. You’ll need to get past this part first and have the casting directors like you before you can see the celebrity judges. The casting directors will then choose you if you have the certain look and possess the skills to be an a American Idol. They even choose people who are horrible on purpose so that they can show clips of that during an episode. It’s a rough industry because even candidates who sing really awesome may not make it to the first round of casting directors. If you don’t have that look: Caucasian, attractive, and with a story, you won’t make it.

Being in the casting directing business, I am just telling you how it is and not trying to sway you. For example, look at William Hung with that “She Bangs, She Bangs” song. He was horrible, but the casting directors knew that they could market him and make him a laughing stock of the whole country. What ever got ratings was the best motivation for the casting directors.

Less than half of a percent of all candidates on the show get to see the celebrity judges and be on TV. I don’t tell you these things to discourage you, but instead to make you try harder to get it.

Star in your own song and find auditions for music videos.

I wish you the best of luck with your American Idol auditions and keep trying because you never know.
