January 30th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
if u haven’t heard anyhthing by now i dont think u got in, but dont give up, it may cum
January 30th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
Good luck to those of you who have bothered to apply and then gone through to the initial audition stage. For those of you who failed to get through on the day its really bad luck. You have to be good enough on the day to get an invite back. So keep pressing on.
Maybe if you were very young say below the age of 13, you should give it a few years before applying for another talent show. After all the singing voice is going through a great deal of hormonal changes at this stage in your life and will take some time to reach a point where you can actually start training it properly.

January 31st, 2007 at 6:57 pm
Hello Debbie,
Being a fan of reality TV, I like people to audition who really want to, as you say your application was recent maybe you haven’t allowed enough time.
However if you really want to speed things up you could try there number 09064 70 10 70, which will cost the bill payer a pound with a BT network and maybe slightly more with others.
Otherwise you could go online and try
http://talent.itv.com
Although this is late in the day you should mention the date of your original application. This website nor I, have any say in who goes through.
Best of luck.

February 3rd, 2007 at 1:09 pm
Hello Jo,
As with all good things they do have to come to a close soon. The level of interest in the show is also an indicator of the point at which saturation is reached. The show does start in April so I would imagine that if your application is dated any later than the second week of JANUARY which I know is when the first cut offs were made than it could well be to late.
Why not give them a ring on the offchance of getting through. 09064 70 10 70.

February 4th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
Hello Jo,
It’s interesting how these things work. First in first served has always been a ruling I’ve become accustomed to. But sometimes if a programme has thousands of applicants the odd one will go astray. So when people ring up to remind the powers that be they made there application on a certain date and then back it up with something relating to the contents of an TV advert date and showing or maybe back it up as they had enclosed a photograph/CD/DVD or the old video or cassette of what they do. The makers of the programmes would feel obliged to search for that entry. After collecting what they think will be the minimum they can deal with, they decide on a pattern of open auditions and invited auditions. The open auditions would be a bit like the X factor you would not be guaranteed to audition in front of the judges for the show, this could be anyone involved with the shows production. After this you may or may not get another audition for one reason or another you a) have a talent or b) you may make good or controversial viewing.This audition may or may not be videoed for television broadcasting.
The invited auditionees are given a specific date, time and place. Fail to attend and its hard cheese unless exceptional circumstances apply and another chance is given.Invited auditionees may have some degree of dedicated time slot a magician or acrobat may need time to set up and change. So time is imperative.
Late entrants such as yourself may be considered if the numbers of invited auditionees fail to start turning up, they cancel and a vacant space becomes available, sometimes allowances are made in certain circumstances to allow opportunities in areas where such might be limited. Time again is another factor a late entrant may be considered if it appears you are willing to travel from one city to another.
I would always say you should risk a phone call.

Maureen
Any news on the expected notification from Birmingham’s first day (frid) auditions.
anj
February 5th, 2007 at 11:03 pm
Lindy B
If things are as they were in Birmingham, around 60-100 people have 9am time slot. Everyone arrives, lines up, registers, and then you are taken to a holding area. During this time you have an opportunity to practice and impress the film crew, producers and directors who wander around chatting to everyone. You are then sorted into groups and go off for your audition with the producers, film crew and directors. The whole process took around 4 hours and we had arrived about an hour or so early,, so prepare for a long session,,,, but it was fun.
Oh and they don’t tell you at the time how you have done, you have to await a phone call or letter in due course.
Good luck for your daughter, my son is now in the waiting game.

February 7th, 2007 at 2:29 am
Maureen,
I was just wondering, obviously thousands of people make the initial application, whether it be on the internet by phone or by post!
But i just wanted to know if you knew what ‘factors’ if you like, is it the producers look for to put you through for an audition! what sways their votes about your application? is there a certain criteria?
Just out of interest, Thanks
February 7th, 2007 at 2:33 am
Oh and i forgot to mention….i have an audition on the 20th feb in islington!:D
But whenever i think about it i have to take deep breaths lol even though i believe in myself as a good singer i cant help thinkin people might hear me differntly lol like the dillusional chicken man on the x factor etc….dnt get me wrong…i’m not like him lol i’m just REALLY REALLY UNBELIEVABLY nervous….so nervous i have thought of just bottlin out lol i know i can sing…thats the beauty of it….but its just if i impress the right people…..thats what i’m scared of!
Any1 else feel like this?please put me at ease lol
WELL GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SHAKIN WITH NERVES IN ISLINGTON TOO LOL

February 7th, 2007 at 3:18 am
The first stage auditions are obviously being done via observation and open audition. Hence 50 + will have a time slot that reads the same in those cities where applications are received by the thousand.
Where the production team are certain of a selection you would get told on the day of the audition very much in same way x factor auditionees are informed, that you are through to the next stage. In the unlikely scenario of someone turning down an opportunity a new space may or may not become available. These people would then be contacted via telephone or letter.
For those who hear nothing within say 10 days to a week within the show going out broadcast national TV coverage, you should assume you have not been successful. But should on all accounts remain hopeful of doing other things career wise over the years.
Rejection is the norm in any avenue of the entertainment industry.
If your applications have been made early enough than you could still receive an invite to a first audition.There is also more than one day of auditions in each city in accordance to the numbers of applicants received.
It is a bit late in the day now for any consideration of new ones now.
Good luck.

gud look to everyone who entered!!!!
February 7th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
Maureen,
I read your notes, I was under the impression no-one was being told they were definatly IN, at the auditions. we were all told we would recieve a phone call if we were in, or a letter in about 4wks if not successful.
Maybe the production team gave some info to some people, but not to anyone I met at Birmingham on the first day of auditions.
Help me out, if you have any inside info, my son is sitting waiting to hear as are his friends.

Ok we got an audition slot on Feb 21st in London - it arrived today. Recall dates for London (and I’m guessing the rest of the country) - are not until April. So it would be logical to assume that you will not get a recall letter until all the first round of audtions have taken place. Cardiff and Manchester have yet to happen after London - so recall letters will not go out until March!
February 7th, 2007 at 6:02 pm
I auditioned 28th jan in birmingham..
they did say they would inform everyone by phone or post.. but I’ve had no word.
On the initial letter for my birmingham audition, it confirmed that if you were to get through to the second audition the auditions would be held between 12-14th Feb.
If letters have not been sent yet, then people are not going to have much time to prepare.
And what If letters are not being sent to people who were not so successful? I saw a number of younger acts who may not respond so well with rejection, but still I think they should be informed, as it is very unfair to keep them waiting so long.
So far, I do not think this production team are doing so well (though they were very nice :D)
Hopefully things will liven up and everyone will be informed on their achievements.
February 7th, 2007 at 6:14 pm
Miranda,
I totally agree with you. We all recieved a letter telling us the next session would be 12,13,14 Feb. The producer also stood on a chair telling us we would have a phone call if we were successful and a letter in about 4wks if not so lucky.
My son is 12 and he’s beginning to feel disheartened by the whole thing.
Hes getting fed up asking friends he met on the day and being asked by his school friends and family.
So come on ‘Britains got talent’ team let us know, one way or the other.
I also agree with Star1, it would be hard to make a decision until everyone has been to the inital audition, unless of course they are just taking so many from each venue!

Tara,
you said you have tickets for the next auditions, can you tell me more about that? How did you hear about the tickets? who needs them? If you get through will your family need tickets, and are there any left?
I didn’t think about it being open for public viewing.
Where is the Alexander Theatre,,,, sorry for all the questions.

Hi Jo,
Thanks I just found it following the earlier link, Im shocked surely we will have some notice. I have booked the time off cos this is Scottish school hols anyway, but I would need to arrange transport and hotel. I haven’t heard of anyone getting through yet. I’m just like you the wait is awful, especially after I read the earlier link and checked the site.

Don’t know of anyone else from the saturday group, only friday, but read back the links some people did say they were there on Sat.
Marc was filmed and interviewed, he met loads of friends and they are keeping in touch.
we did have a great time, but I think it was a bit messy on the friday cos that was the first day, we were there for about 5 hours.

Hello Angela,
Oh dear, patience is a virtue.
Last year having been a judge in some regional competitions, the practice we followed was a) if someone was absoulutely outstanding we would say so straight away. This meant anyone who was truly gifted and talented would have the opportunity to get to the second stage and possibly sail through. Some would say this was unfair, but in my books it isn’t. I’m a believer in real talent shining through and not being sidelined because some people are specialists.
However, if a number of people all seem to exist at around the same standard and are good this is worrisome they would normally be told to wait for a phonecall or a letter. The vast majority of auditionees are well below average but may at times have there heart in the right place. At this juncture a judge is drawn between saying diplomatically, I’m sorry you aren’t through but maybe if you did this blah blah and came back in a year or two, you may have progressed that bit further forward. Or does the judge say something that would dash the dreams of an auditionee for good. For example;-
‘You are terrible, what on earth was that, I don’t know why you bothered wasting our time, You will never be put through’. These words are harsh and will not always be appreciated.
Sometimes in the world of entertainment irrespective of what you think entertainment is. It can pay to be pushy. Charlotte Church personal success is all down to two people without which a recording contract and selling millions, making millions and being heard internationally would never have been possible, Her mum and Johnathan Shallit of Shallit Global.
So if you are keen and confident that your son is talented, wait until the second last week of March which is when all the first stage auditons will be over and wait one week to ten days and if you have not had a call or letter by the 3 or 4th of April give them a ring. Or get in touch via the website, someone will respond to a legitimate email.

February 8th, 2007 at 1:35 pm
Maureen
thanks for the info,, I was beginning to think some people may have been told on the day… I see tickets are availble now for the second leg, so it must be so.
Anyway, Marc loves singing and no matter what happens he will have great memories and will keep on performing.
Good luck to all, as you say real talent will out and Marc is only young,, years will help him progress.

Hello Anita,
So you haven’t received an invitation to audition yet even though you applied at the beginning of Jan 2007. ???
Have you tried registering again online and if there is a comment box mention not havving heard from your earlier application.
This is the website you need.
http://talent.itv.com
I have mentioned this as most of the others with similar titles to the Britains got talent programme are actually businesses you have to pay to register with.
Also some are websites for personal internet users.
Hope you have some luck.

PLEASE NOTE THE BEFORE DATES THE CURRENTLY ACTIVE DATE IS 21ST FEB 2007.

HELLO MAUREEN ive received a phonecall to say ive got an audition for manchester but ive not got a date yet im quite concerned as i also have competitions coming up on the 30th of march i noticed you have helped alot of people out on this website and wonderd if you could answer this for me pls
February 9th, 2007 at 11:10 pm
WHAT MY QUESTION ACTUALLY WAS MAUREEN IS DO U THINK THE MANCHESTER DATE WILL BE AS LATE AS THE 30TH PLS TRY AND ANSWER
February 10th, 2007 at 2:48 am
Hello Keeleigh,
Gosh have they forgotten to tell you your audition date most odd.
If you check in to the online website you will come across an email address under the terms and conditions at the bottom.
Send them an email and they should respond quickly. I have a strong feeling that the Manchester auditions will follow anytime after the closing date which is the 21st of Feb 2007.
Good luck.

February 10th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
hi maureen,
im been quite annoyed about this whole competition! me and my friend sent an aplication form of in the 1st week of jan to make sure it gets there for the london auditions closing date. (12th jan) we still have had no response! but a dance group in our area recieved their letters today (10th feb)and i was wondering if there is any chance they are still sending out letters for the london auditions, if not are they sending letters to say if you have failed to get an audition; as i sent of a few dvds and will be wanting them back; they cant just keep them!
thankyou very much for your time!

February 11th, 2007 at 4:09 am
THANKYOU for responding to me MAUREEN but we think the reason they didnt tell us our audition date is because while we were waiting for a responce my mam who was more than anxios phoned the post office to find out if our application had got there or not because we had sent it recorded .The post office said there was no record of it been deliverd but quite often i have had letters that should be signed for yet havent signed which is fault on royal mails part.so my mam wrote a letter to britains got talent explaining that we had sent a app in but there was concern over weather or not they had recieved it. 2 days after she sent the letter we got a call saying that we were on the system and that we had an audition for manchester which they said we would recieve a letter shortly that that was a week and three days ago now SO MY MAMS FLAPPING AGAIN NOW i beleive that man auditions arnt selected till after closing date of app which is appar 21st of feb so i am gathering our letter will come after then when they send the rest of manchesters out. Thanks again for your responce anyway great help and ill let you know when i get my letter.

Hi Sherika,
At the Birmingham audition the producer said the prize was £100 grand and the opportunity to be part of the ‘Roayal Variety performance’ so they ask everyone how it would feel to perform for the Queen.

Hello Keeleigh,
Your post above sound very reassuring, I am pleased for you. So all you have to do now is give yourself the best chance and practice practice practice, until you know exactly what you are doing inside out.
This is an area where most people fail in auditions is that they are just not prepared.
So good luck.

Hello Scott,
I think it would be in your best interests if you sent the production company an email
britainsgottalent@itv.com
or
lisa.chandarana@talkbackthames.tv
I will say this as an industry mentor unless it is obvious who the video’s, dvd’s or cd’s are from they are generally not returned. Lots of them get lost amongst the thousands that arrive in the post irrespective of whether that post has been sent by recorded delivery.
Also they get lost because they are not labelled with anything identifiable to say where they were made or who sent them. People do have an awful habit of sending things off without an attention for name on the address label so they could literally be sitting in a post room gathering dust. Another fault is that the covering letter does not mention any of the aforesaid enclosures, so if your applicaton becomes seperated from this additional material one or the other will go astray.
An efficient P A is a godsend as he or she may return property provided the return postage has been paid and there is a full address to return property to, but other than that she or he can’t be responsible for everything that comes in.
Just to close a long time ago I received a package in the post from DECCA. I opened it and discovered it was a CD. The name
