AXN has announced that the highly anticipated open auditions for Asia’s Got Talent Season 2 will be held across cities in Asia (Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Taipei and Bangkok) this May.
Asia’s Got Talent, the world’s biggest talent competition, invites people of any age and talent to grab the opportunity to shine in front of an audience and prove to be Asia’s best. Last season, the show crowned Filipino shadow dance group, El Gamma Penumbra, the grand winner in the first season.
“Asia’s Got Talent is the world’s biggest talent competition that unites the region’s diverse cultures in a vibrant celebration of the performing arts,” said Virginia Lim, Senior Vice President and the Head of Content, Production and Marketing, Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia. “This season, we invite all Singaporeans of any age and with any talent to show our producers what they can do. We look forward to joining with Marina Bay Sands to discover the next generation of Singaporean superstars on AXN.”
In Singapore, open auditions will be held at the iconic Marina Bay Sands on Sunday, May 14, 2017. Doors will open from 10:30am as thousands of aspiring hopefuls will descend on the Sands Theatre for their chance to perform in front of AXN’s producers and a shot at a USD100,000 cash prize. Due to the expected turn out and exceptionally high demand for an audition slot, aspiring stars are encouraged to pre-apply online (www.AXN-Asia.com/AsiasGotTalent) to expedite the registration process on the day.
If an act is successful during the open auditions, they may then be selected to perform at the judges’ auditions later in the year. The judges’ auditions comprise the first five episodes of the series and precede the semi-finals and the grand finale episode where the winner of Asia’s Got Talent will be crowned, winning USD100,000 in cash.
Asia’s Got Talent is slated to premiere in the second half of 2017, first and exclusively on AXN.
