The X Factor Auditions Kicking Off This Week

Do you have “The X Factor” (or think you do, rather)?

The brand that delivered international superstars such as Leona Lewis, One Direction and Cher Lloyd are on the hunt for America’s next international superstar. The highly talked about second season gave us promising new acts like Emblem 3, Fifth Harmony and Carly Rose Sonenclar, but the U.S. version of the series has yet to deliver an act as big as the UK version of the show. If you think you have what it takes, then consider the gauntlet officially thrown.

THE X FACTOR auditions will be held in the following cities: 

LOS ANGELES, CA
Date: Wednesday, March 6
Venue: Galen Center

CHARLESTON, SC

NEW ORLEANS, LA

In addition to the open call auditions, online auditions continue until June 15, 2013 at 11:59 PM PT. Solo artists and vocal groups 12 years old and over may submit their two-minute a cappella audition videos, or find additional information about auditions, at www.TheXFactorUSA.com.
