In a November interview with Goodall, NBC Insider chatted with the AGT winner about his perspective on what it takes to join AGT's spectacular lineup of Acts.
Richard Goodall's advice for future AGT Acts
While discussing AGT's Season 20 Auditions, NBC Insider was keen to ask the crooning custodian if he had any advice for talented Acts hoping to join the talent competition. Unsurprisingly, Goodall remains endearingly humble amid his recent victory and feels there's no better time than the present to go after the AGT dream.
"Now is a great time — no matter who you are, what kind of talent you've got — to audition," Goodall encouraged. "I mean, if an absolute regular person like me can audition, go through each round, and then ultimately win, I mean, anybody can. Not to say that they couldn't do that before, but you know, since I did it, I pulled it off. I mean, wow."
"And all you have to do is go to AGTauditions.com," Goodall added while speaking to Season 20's video submissions and open virtual call. "There's no better time to audition than now because if a regular ordinary person like me can beat out some of those Vegas acts that try out and get through Auditions and do different stuff. If I can do it, anybody can do it."
How to Audition for AGT Season 20
As Goodall reflects on his life-changing Season 19 victory, joining NBC's talent competition has never been easier.
