America’s Got Talent Now Casting Via MySpace!

MYSPACE TEAMS UP WITH NBC AND FREMANTLEMEDIA ENTERPRISES TO FIND NEXT BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMER ON “AMERICA’S GOT TALENT”

MySpace Users Invited to Upload Talent Videos For the Chance to Appear In Special Broadcast Episode

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – May 1, 2009 – MySpace, the world’s premier social portal, is teaming up once again with NBC and FremantleMedia Enterprises on the hit summer series “America’s Got Talent” which premieres Tuesday, June 23 (9-11p.m. ET) and will continue Wednesday, June 24 (9-10p.m. ET). While the show has already traveled to several major cities around the country, MySpace will open up the search to every corner of America. MySpace users and aspiring contestants will again have the opportunity to audition for the current season of the show by uploading videos showcasing their talents at a special “America’s Got Talent” community hosted by MySpace at http://myspace.com/americasgottalent.

“America’s Got Talent” video submissions will be accepted on MySpace starting May 1 through May 11. The show’s producers will review submissions and selected participants will take part in an audition show dedicated solely to MySpace submissions. Contestants will compete for slots in the semi-finals and finals. All of the acts will be eligible for the $1 million grand prize.

New this season on “America’s Got Talent,” the multi-talented entertainer/producer and comedian Nick Cannon joins as host. The show will continue to be presided over by the explosive combination of celebrity judges David Hasselhoff, Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan.

With the talent search open to acts of all ages, “America’s Got Talent” has brought the variety format back to the forefront of American culture by showcasing performers from across the country. The series is a true celebration of the American spirit featuring a colorful array of hopeful singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists, impressionists, jugglers, magicians and ventriloquists, all vying for their chance to strut and perform on stage hoping to win America’s hearts — and the $1 million prize.

Third-season winner Neal E. Boyd, an insurance salesman with dreams of becoming a professional opera singer, had his life changed forever last August when he was crowned the champion. Not only did he win the $1 million grand prize, but he also received the opportunity to perform at the MGM Grand on the Las Vegas strip.

Second-season winner, Terry Fator, a ventriloquist from Dallas, Texas, achieved his lifelong dream when he signed a five-year $100 million deal to headline at the Mirage in Las Vegas. He currently performs five nights a week in The Terry Fator Theatre.

“America’s Got Talent” is produced by FremantleMedia North America and Simon Cowell’s SYCO Televison. Cowell, Cecile Frot-Coutaz (”American Idol”), Jason Raff (”Three Wishes”), and Scott St. John (”Deal or No Deal”) are executive producers.

A Casting Director for The Real World 22 Gives His Advice

The Real World 22 is currently casting, and all over the country young adults  are getting their votes on the website, sending in their applications or going to the open calls. Tens of thousands will try to get on, only 7 will have a chance to get drunk and make out in the hot tub. What can you do to get noticed by the casting director of The Real World, that doesn’t involve taking off your clothes and doing something ridiculous? Reality Wanted interviewed Real World 22 casting director Damon Furberg, and here’s what he has to say about making a good casting tape:

There are a lot of things but make sure you spend a couple minutes talking about yourself. Keep it simple but let us know who you are. Don’t go overboard and over produce it, real talent is hard to overlook. Also something to steer away from is rehearsing it too much. Go in knowing 3-4 things about you that make you interesting. At the end of the day we are looking for the right personality for the show, not someone that just has gimmicks. This show has been around for a lot of years so we are not looking for another Puck or a character that has been on in the past. We want to know about you, not how you compare to other characters from past seasons.

He also talks about whether they are partial to people from certain parts of the country (they aren’t), if you should you be discouraged by the amount of other applicants, and whether it is worth your while going to an open casting call. For the record, he feels it is absolutely worth going to open calls, because from his standpoint there is no substitute for meeting someone face-to-face.
