‘America’s Got Talent’ holding online auditions

NEW YORK — “America’s Got Talent” is holding auditions online.

Performers can upload their audition videos through June 18 to the “America’s Got Talent” site on YouTube, NBC and producer Fremantle Media North America announced Monday.

Producers will select 40 acts to be posted on the site. Then the YouTube community will vote for their favorites. The top vote-getter will perform on “America’s Got Talent” alongside 11 other YouTube acts chosen by producers.

The online auditions will supplement in-person tryouts staged across the U.S. in a half-dozen cities.

The new season of “America’s Got Talent” premieres June 1.
