4. BEYOND THE FIRST ROUND
If you are successful and pass through the first round, you will enter the second round in Hollywood, California. A vast majority of contenders do not make it through to the second round. Be prepared to be one of those people (no matter how good you and others think you are). If you are not accepted, take the criticism of the judges and work on your singing ability. There is always next season.
Auditioning for American Idol is more than just standing up in front of some judges and singing. The serious contestant should prepare far enough in advance to feel comfortable with their material and their chances. Remember most who try out for American Idol do not make it past the first round. Be prepared for anything and your audition will be an enjoyable experience. Best of luck!
