Managers that represent leading singers in the industry come to iPOP! to recruit new talent. Singers participate in series of auditions, and get a chance to audition for the Broadway Showcase that takes place the last night of the convention. Singers must have two songs in contrasting styles prepared. Their performance skills, audition techniques, vocal abilities, stage presence and commercial appeal are evaluated.
Guidelines:
| 1. | Prepare two songs in contrasting styles. One will be selected by you, keep in mind age appropriateness and the second will be chosen from a list of songs selected by iPOP! |
| 2. | Practice is the key. If you're open to new techniques and styles and take lessons to improve your skills, then you will increase your chances of becoming the next big thing in the music industry. |
| 3. | Don't be nervous. Sing as if you own the stage, radiate confidence, and the audience will feel it too! |
"[iPOP! is]
very elite, very selective, it's not like a cattle call. They've actually took
some time to hand pick some good people."
- Anthony Meyer, Alumni Entertainment (Los Angeles, USA)
"At iPOP!
you're really getting to see a group of people across the country who I wouldn't
normally see. You really get a cross section of the country."
- Gary Salzman, Big Management and Entertainment (New York, USA)
