Auditions: The Recording Studio

ABC is getting into the TV singing business, but not by pitting singers against one another or Reality TV judges.

The Recording Studio, coming in 2019, is a factual series in which everyday Australians can record a song for a special occasion.

The FremantleAustralia series, based on a UK format, will put Aussies behind a microphone guided by music producers, directors and engineers.

As the casting notice advises, “This is a documentary series not a competition music show, there is no prize offered for taking part.”

They say every person has one great book inside them… at The Recording Studio, we say everyone has one amazing song inside just waiting to get out.

Under the guidance and mentorship of Australia’s top musical producers, directors and engineers, the ABC is throwing open the doors to its world class recording studios and offering everyday Australians the opportunity of a lifetime; the chance to record a song that is special to them, or to someone else.

This is not about cutting a number one single, The Recording Studio is a look into the transformative power of music. It can heal, it can transform, and it has the power to change people’s lives.

One song can change your life. It’s time to hit record.

ABC and FremantleMedia Australia are looking for people with a need to celebrate, overcome or to reach out to someone…through music.

If you have a unique purpose for wanting to record a particular song, or if you know someone who would benefit from this extraordinary musical experience – then we want to hear from you.

This series is a partnership between ABC and FremantleMedia Australia.
