3 Tips to Pass American Idol First Round Audition

By Klipper Trombly

The first round of American Idol Audition is very different from the show you see on TV. The producers, not Randy, Simon and Paula, will pick up the persons who they think might have potential out of tens of thousands of contestants. Here are some useful tips.

1. Go to a hotel near the venue and have a good rest. Usually the audition begin at 8 a.m. Any line up before 6 a.m. is not allowed. You better get there between 6 a.m and 8 a.m. Leave plenty of time to traffic since there will be a big crowd. Bring some food and water with as you may have a long line to wait.
2. Dress smart. Since there are only 15-30 seconds for each contestant, put on some dress which make you standing out. according to the game rules, clothing that reveals tattoos, has designer names, sports teams, or any other logos or brand names, or bears the name or likeness of a celebrity, living or dead are not allowed. My advice is to dress like a real, stylish, and attractive you. Dress like American idol winner will not help since the producers are looking for people with potential.

3. Pick up the right song to show your voice. Since you've got just 15-30 seconds, make the best use of it. Do not pick up a song that is poplar, cool, or different. Choose the song carefully to make sure show off your unique voice. My advice is to show in front of your family or friends. Let them tell you which song they think represent you best. Also prepare 1 or 2 backup songs in case the producer really like you and ask you to sing something else.
