Also what are the producers like? i signed up about a month in advance online. you have to sign some waivers and whatnot, it’s a whole thing. you show up, you confirm your presence, and you get one of those designated stickers with your number on it. after filling out another form about yourself (your act, who you are, et cetera) and waiting a million hours, your number is eventually called in a group of numbers. i was in a group with a bunch of singers. we got called away to another, separate waiting room which was much smaller and more quiet, and then called into a room with one of the producers. the room was kinda like one of those dance rehearsal rooms with a ton of reverb. he called us up, one by one, and we gave him our forms, said our name and our act, and he told us when to start. i sang when i went up, he reacted as stoically as he did everyone else (as to not make any implications with his reactions), and we would leave.

i was told that i would hear if i advanced to judge auditions via email within two months, and, unfortunately, that didn’t happen, but hey! it was still a great experience regardless, happy that i did it, and there’s always next year!

the producer was as basic as he was supposed to act, and i think that’s part of the contract. his name was matt, some british dude. he seemed nice, but i guess he wasn’t allowed to react in any way to the performance.
