"First and foremost is talent and drive," said Louis J. Pearlman, founder of Trans Continental Records. "If you qualify, then we'll give you a chance to show us your talent." Interested performers must be Male; over the age of 18 as of November 1, 1999; a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or otherwise legally able to work in the U.S.; have a high school diploma or equivalent; and be willing to relocate to Orlando, FL. If qualified, applicants are instructed to send a VHS cassette containing a maximum 5-minute performance of no more than 2 songs. While the voice is most important, performers should pay attention to lighting and be sure to highlight dance moves and instruments played, if any. However, all VHS cassettes become the exclusive property of Trans Continental Records, MTV Productions, and ABC and cannot be returned.

TCR staff will choose 100 entrants for call backs in each of eight major U.S. cities to show their stuff. Following the preliminary screening, 25 performers will be chosen for a last call back to be held in Orlando, FL. Ultimately, however, only five will make the final cut.
