LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - March 21, 2008) - With well over 1 million Australians living
abroad, AUSTRALIAN IDOL is on the search for talented ex-pats, and has set
Sunday, April 13 as the official U.S. audition date for 2008 season
hopefuls -- those talented Australians who are living and working overseas
in the United States. Auditions for the new season of AUSTRALIAN IDOL will
take place at the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood
Boulevard, with doors opening promptly at 8:30 am and closing at 5:00 pm.
Full instructions for pre-registration and rules for competing can be found
Online at
www.australianidol.com.au. Interested performers are encouraged
to pre-register to ensure their spot at the auditions on April 13.
In Los Angeles, the search is on to find Australian citizens who have left
our shores to chase their showbiz dreams, as well as Aussies who have
headed off on other career paths but who might be looking for a new
challenge that could bring them back home to Australia for the 2008
competition.
AUSTRALIAN IDOL wants to give as many Australians as possible the chance to
be part of this entertainment phenomenon. Over the past 5 years AUSTRALIAN
IDOL has created a fantastic platform for many singers who have gone on to
become "household names" Down Under. Whether through singing, acting or TV
presenting, AUSTRALIAN IDOL is proud of its talent heritage and
history-making record sales.
As series 6 takes shape there'll be no stopping the IDOL audition trail as
it weaves its way around the world, with stops throughout Australia, in
London and Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, those talented individuals who make the first "cut" at the
April 13 auditions, will move on to filmed auditions with AUSTRALIAN IDOL
judge Kyle Sandilands, who will be joined by two celebrity judges on L.A.'s
Venice Beach. Those who remain standing at the end of this round of
judging will be flown to Sydney to compete in Season 6 of AUSTRALIAN IDOL.
