The 'America’s Got Talent' application process is pretty simple.

So, you’re ready for the big leagues! Thankfully, applying for a spot on America’s Got Talent is pretty simple.

For starters, applicants will have to visit the official show audition website to get the ball rolling. Next, you’ll need to click on the show banner so you can start the basics. You’ll see a page that requires you to share your birthday. Keep in mind, if you are under 18 years old, your parent or guardian would need to submit their birthdate and register for you.

Next, you’ll be prompted to share your full name and information about your parent or guardian if needed. You will then be prompted to make a new account.

From there, you’ll be able to submit a video clip showcasing your talent. Since there’s no telling where this tape could end up, you’ll want to make sure that the video is ready to be seen by anyone. Not to mention, you’ll want to put your best foot forward so you can earn a callback from producers.

According to NBC's manager of unscripted formats, Theresa Graham, she told NBC Insider that contestants that make it past the audition phase will be able to officially audition for the judges.

“Anybody can sign up and have an audition with our casting team and producers,” Theresa told the outlet. “If they think that somebody is worth considering, they put them through to our executive producers. After they say yes, then the act will go to audition in front of the judges. We all see everything play out from there.”
