ONLY one more heat remains for acts that want a chance at the prize money in Talentcall, the contest that searches for a star.
On August 30, judges at the Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth will whittle down a variety of acts to just four to go through to the next level of the semi-finals, with the all-crucial audience vote playing a key role.
Pictured are the acts that have made the grade so far, including the most recent five heats.
John Lory, a professional comedian and the compere, said: “We had singers, street dancers and guitarist vocalists.
“The standard has been sensational.”
Judges have included Amelia McClusky, a vocal coach who has worked in America with record producers, Chris Ferguson a promoter based in the UK and South Africa, Rachel Spackman of The Ballard School, and sponsor John St Quintin.
John added: “The last heat’s on August 30 and another 18 acts will be trying to squeeze into the four places going through to the semi-finals.
“The judges will also be picking 15 acts from all the heats that got squeezed out by the audience vote, that we would like to see go through as the audience vote tips the balance.”
Two band night contests are being held at Mr Kypps on September 2 and 9, for the final places in the semi-finals.
Four semi-finals in total will then whittle acts down to one final where the winner will get the top prize of £2,500.
