The programme will be going out on Channel Five from mid July for 6 weeks. If successful, once they have filled in the online application form (link below), the group would be needed for one day for a non televised audition in late May (near your hometown). Then successful groups will be needed for two live shows (heat and final) in late July/early August. The live shows involve five acts and the public vote their favourite act through to the grand final each week. After five heats the five acts that won their heats compete against each other in the final. As you can see, it’s not a knock out show so they wouldn’t need to commit each week and would be given dates in advance.
This competition is for singing groups who have more than 5 members per group and our minimum age for the competition is 14. Please go to http://www.dontstopbelieving.tv to get the application form and apply for the show.
If groups are keen to apply but waiting to get together to film the footage for the application, please fill in the application form ASAP and get that in to us and then send the footage in as soon as it is able via the application form or post. Footage recently shot of the group, but not specifically for Don’t Stop Believing is acceptable. If we have a completed form off the group we can begin the application process and write a note of when to expect the footage.
Footage can be posted to:
Emma Bickers
SHINE TV
Primrose Studios,
109 Regents Park Road,
London,
NW1 8UR
Just to reiterate interest is high and time is running out so fill in the application form at http://www.dontstopbelieving.tv now to register your interest, the footage can then be uploaded or posted after.
A final note is we are looking for a vast range of groups to apply. From young to old, established vocal groups, choirs and musical theatre groups to friends and family with a mutual love of singing and dancing who want to give it a go; we welcome anyone. We will have a fantastic team of experts on hand to come help with vocals and choreography should the group get through to the semi-finals.
- Here are some handy hints to help any applicants.
- Film your group performing your application song ( nb this can be only 1 song and choose this song wisely as we have had lots of interest)
- Dress to impress
We cannot offer any group an audition until we have received a completed application form and it is accompanied by a video.
Please return your completed form as soon as possible to ensure an audition in your preferred city as audition slots are likely to be filled quickly. Interest in the show is high so don’t delay!
