How To Impress The Judges Of American Idol

How To Impress The Judges Of American Idol If you are going on a reality game show like American Idol or Dancing with the Stars, it is a good idea to give some thought to how to impress the judges. There are several basic tactics you could take.

The first is to merely do your best and hope for the best and the other is to research the likes and dislikes of the judges; work out from previous series which judges are the most powerful and then endeavour to please the two most influential judges.

The second option involves devious methods and plenty of research but do not think that it has never been tried. Whether or not the tactic was successful, we shall almost certainly never know, but given the immediate rewards and a lifetime of success, it is not astonishing that contestants employ coaches and consultants to help them win.

Mum and Dad taking their hopeful teenage boy or girl down to the auditions is not how winners become successful any more. It takes preparation, dedication, study, application and rehearsals. Plenty of rehearsal.

If you go for the first alternative, then, it is not wise to merely sing your favourite song. The judges will have heard 'I Did It My Way' thousands of times at audition and Frank Sinatra did a version that is fairly hard to beat.

Endeavour to find a song that is unusual, but also a song that you are able to identify with and sing well. This means research and rehearsals, but it is not worth turning up at the auditions unless you put lots of effort into your piece. The competition is just too strong.

Nerves are a big difficulty for most people, even many contractors, so the judges will have seen that all before. you have to strive to learn to deal with your nerves before the audition.

The best way of doing that is by singing in front of audiences. So, go to karaoke nights, do guest spots at bars, sing at parties, enter singing competitions, sing in the bath with the window open. Do everything you can to become used to performing in front of an audience.

This naturally takes time, so give yourself at least a year before you apply to attend an audition for a TV talent show, whichever field of entertainment you are interested in.

If you are quite inexperienced at performing and you have no-one among your friends and family who can advise you, perhaps you ought to consider hiring a coach to help you.

You will almost certainly just have one crack at the big time, so do not squander it.

Emotionally, you will feel drained if you do not make it past the auditions, so do not let that happen to you without giving yourself every opportunity of succeeding.
