The Talent Show Extravaganza was founded by Jeremiah Thompson in January of 2003. His method would mark a significant change in the traditional talent shows of the 1980's. Typically a talent show consisted of people of various gifts competing against each other for a prize.Many of the talent shows from the 80's would place singers, dancers, comedians, rappers etc. against each other. This is not a fair competition, and many times contestants felt cheated becuase they were the best in their specific field.
The Talent Show Extravaganza is diverse in that you only compete against people in your own category. Also we have a registration process that is designed to indentify Professional Artist. This makes the competition even more reasonable because we are looking for amatuer talent. Anyone with a history of vocal coaching doesn't qualify for our competition. Our talent show was also set up as a way to reward our starving artist and give them a chance to develop a creative style through perserverance and commitment.
We are always looking for amateur talent from all types of talent. Presently we are taking appointments for our exstensive interview process. Our current category is Singers,Rappers,or Spoken Word. All these fall under vocal ability. Take a look at some more of our advantages.
1. We give out a monetary prize to our 1st,2nd, and 3rd place winners.
