Leading the Entertainment Industry

Here is a great article showing how TALENT6 is leading the entertainment industry, this time with America's Got Talent... Read on!

October 14 – SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Talent6, the leading online casting community for actors, extras and reality television, is currently working with NBC Television’s wildly entertaining amateur talent contest and perennial ratings hit, “America’s Got Talent.”

“America’s Got Talent, ” hosted by Nick Cannon and judged by Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and David “The Hoff” Hasselhoff, is a grand scale Open Mike Night for Americans of all shapes, sizes and colors with demonstrable talent of any type, from singing and dancing to jaw-dropping, head-spinning —sometimes head-scratching— and death-defying acts like fire eating, chainsaw juggling, acrobatics and feats of illusion. Acts appearing on previous seasons could be deemed from the ridiculous to the sublime, from freakish to awe-inspiring to heartwarming. Talent6’s enormous member base is just as varied and inspired, making this casting call a match made in entertainment heaven.

"Any time Talent6 takes one of our casting calls and it goes live, submission numbers increase 1000%, ” said Shannon MacIntosh, “America’s Got Talent” Casting Director. “Our show is all about discovering the raw, genuine talent residing in all of us. Being able to reach real people with real skill at this level across the country is invaluable."

“America’s Got Talent” contestants - from local auditions to semi-finals to the Las Vegas finale - must consistently present and defend their acts against the discriminating yet alternately eccentric, snarky, and even sometimes weepy judges’ panel to secure America’s votes and win. Morgan is known to be America’s version of the “meanie, ” a la Simon Cowell, Osbourne brings decades of music industry chops and an earth mother persona to the table, and The Hoff is, well…. The Hoff. Contestants never know what reaction to expect or what pearls of entertainment wisdom may spring forth from The Hoff. But Talent6 members are driven to succeed and ready to rise to the challenge.

“We’re excited to be able to offer our members a shot at national stardom with this particular casting call because they have the skills and good, old-fashioned chutzpah to successfully compete on ‘America’s Got Talent, ” said John Williams, Director of Marketing and Development for Talent6.” “Because we work with talented individuals all across the country from all walks of life, the variety of talent and depth of determination is limitless.”

A unique approach to auditions, all aspiring contestants are required to submit a link to their own website or YouTube clip for consideration and pre-approval for an audition appointment. YouTube itself provides Talent6 members another opportunity to gain exposure; it was the YouTube audition clip from the “America’s Got Talent” sister show in Britain that went viral and took dowdy Scottish songbird Susan Boyle from obscurity into hearts and homes worldwide. Six months (and a full makeover) later, she’s now a top-selling international recording artist, appearing on “Oprah” and in a Harper’s Bazaar fashion spread! More details about video submissions, the audition process, open call dates and requirements for “America’s Got Talent” are available via Talent6 at www.talent6.com.

Providing direct, unprecedented access to hundreds of high-quality casting calls daily, Talent6 has been helping aspiring actors, models, extras and “real people, ” find opportunities to appear in TV, film and advertising productions across the country.
