Raleigh is getting all kinds of attention from network TV shows lately.
A few weeks ago, NBC announced that a new singing competition show called "And the Winner Is..." will be looking for talent at the Longbranch in Raleigh on Decemeber 8. Now, NBC's "America's Got Talent," a competition reality show judged by an ever-changing roster of celebrities, will follow them to town.
Talent scouts for "America's Got Talent" will be in Raleigh on December 15 in search of contestants for their eighth season.
The Raleigh Auditions will start at the Raleigh Convention Center at 500 South Salisbury Street at 10 a.m. and go until approximately 8 p.m. You must pre-register at the AGT site: download the paperwork, fill it out and take it with you to the audition.
The audition is open to acts of all ages, and any kind of talent is welcome. Singers, dancers, jugglers, comedians, magicians, fire-breathers, you name it. Auditioners get 90 seconds to wow the scouts.
If you miss the Raleigh Auditions on the 15th, the next closest location will be Norfolk, Virginia, on the 16th (auditions are in Savannah, Georgia, on the 14th).
Good luck!
