A few weekends ago, I auditioned for America's Got Talent. It was just the preliminary audition in front of the producers, but it was still a big deal for me. I have auditioned for The Voice in the past, but I never made it past the first audition. The audition for America's Got Talent was really cool and nerve-racking. There were tons of people there, and everyone had to wait for at least a few hours to get their turn to sing in front of a producer. After waiting about 3 hours, I went with a group of about 15 people to audition. Most people in my group were singers, but there was one magician. I was super nervous, but I luckily didn't make any mistakes. Everyone did their performance for 90 seconds, and that was it. They told us that they weren't making decisions until the beginning of February, so I still don't know if I made it to the second round of auditions. Hopefully I'll know soon. 

Sometimes I sing at ShopRite. It sounds a little weird because it's obviously not a place you expect there to be a live musician. But I've sang at a good amount of ShopRites, and it's nice. Everyone is always surprised by the live music. Most people think it's actually the radio, and everyone is always appreciative and kind when they find out that it's actually me singing. There are also always little kids who love the music, and it's really cute. They stop and make their parents watch with them. It's an unexpected place to be a good performance spot, but it always is.
