Submit Your YouTube Video To Kelly Rowland
It's Monday! Happy Monday folks. You should be excited about a new week and all the new possibilities coming your way, claim it!
For instance, I just found out that Kelly Rowland is looking for to form the next big female group i collaboration with BET. Submissions have been going on for a while, so if you're interested you need to jump on this asap. What is it that I say? Stay ready, so you don't ever have to get ready. That way when time sensitive opportunities like this come your way, you know, and have ready exactly what needs to be submitted.

This is a paid opportunity for ladies ages 18 and over and requires availability to film in L.A., Cali staring November (next month). See further details in the image below.
The value of these open call auditions are invaluable because you just never know. That's how Gabourey Sidibe got discovered for her role in the movie Precious, and now she's on one the hottest TV shows Empire. You never know. And what I love about Gabourey's story is that she hadn't acted really before, other than being in a couple of plays at a friends college.

In fact, you may also know that Destiny's Child was originally formed as a girl group put together through auditions called Girl's Tyme, albeit that Beyonce's dad being the manager, she had a leg up seeing as she lived with the family for a while growing up.
Point is, you don't have to apply to American Idol like Tori Kelly did, to get discovered. You can read about Tori's journey here. Keep yours ears and eyes open to casting calls through websites such as Auditions Free. Don't neglect local opportunities that might be featured in your local newspaper as well.
Kelly assuredly knows a thing or two about spotting talent, not only from all her years in the industry, but also a the judge on UK singing competition X-Factor, headed under Simon Cowell. She judged season 8 of the original UK version, and also last season, season 3, of the American version under the same name. On being asked to judge the American version of X-Factor, she had this to say:
“I love the fact that people can get an opportunity to change their lives within one audition, or one opportunity, and I could be a part of that.”
More on what she had to say in the video below.
In closing, as you can see by Kelly's and BET's audition call, you need to submit YouTube video links of you singing. GET ON SOCIAL MEDIA! And particularly YouTube to showcase your talent. I can't stress this enough. All the best to those who have and plan to audition.
Be blessed!
