‘America’s Got Talent’ Season 13 Auditions Kick Off In Mandy Harvey’s Hometown

The auditions for “America’s Got Talent” Season 13 will kick off in Orlando on Nov. 13.

Aspiring contestants may head to the West Hall of the Orange County Convention Center from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Those who are interested to audition need to register online via the show’s official website.

Orlando happens to be the hometown of Season 12 semifinalist, Mandy Harvey, who received Simon Cowell’s golden buzzer. The 29-year-old deaf singer impressed the judges and fans with her pitch-perfect tone despite not being able to hear anything.

Unfortunately, Harvey did not bring home the $1 million grand prize. But Harvey’s stint in the hit NBC reality TV competition paved the way for her to release her memoir, “Sensing the Rhythm.” She has also performed alongside Mick Ebeling with the help of Not Impossible.

Meanwhile, 13-year-old Darci Lynne Farmer was crowned as winner of “America’s Got Talent” last summer. She and her fellow finalists, Preacher Lawson, Angelica Hale and Light Balance will be performing live at the PH Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from Nov. 2 to 5. Tickets are available here.

The success of “America’s Got Talent” is expected to continue after last season when it averaged a total of 16 million viewers. Executive producer Sam Donnelly said, “The show never fails to discover the best and most exciting acts the country has to offer. We literally change lives and make careers on the ‘AGT’ stage. I encourage anyone who thinks they have a talent worth sharing to audition for this next season,” he said.

Following this month’s Orlando auditions, the staff and crew of “America’s Got Talent” Season 13 will head to Cincinnati on Nov. 14, Savannah on Nov. 19, Milwaukee on Dec. 3, Houston on Dec. 9, Las Vegas on Dec. 13, New York on Dec. 17, Nashville on Jan. 13, San Jose on Jan. 19 and Los Angeles on Feb. 3.

“America’s Got Talent” Season 13 is expected to premiere sometime next summer.
