During the sixth week of auditions for Season 13 of America’s Got Talent, judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel meet The Angel City Chorale (ACC) of Los Angeles. The choir was founded by artistic director Sue Fink in 1993 in the famous McCabe’s Guitar Shop with 18 singers. 25 years later and the choir is now 160 voices strong.

If you think you have what it takes, check out the website (link below): the multi-cultural choir is looking for male and female singers (gospel, folk, jazz, classical and world music) for their Fall 2018 season. Audition dates in LA are: July 29, August 3, and September 7. But keep in mind, this is not a paying gig. The Angel City Chorale is a non-profit organization. A significant share of the net proceeds of ACC’s CD “The Road Home” (see link above) goes to Ocean Park Community Center, an organization that serves the homeless community. Note: All singers pay dues: $245 per season; there are two seasons per year. New episodes of America’s Got Talent air Tuesdays at 8pm on NBC, right before World of Dance.
