The search for the next “American Idol” has begun.

The hit singing competition, which will enter its seventh season on ABC and 22nd season overall, will hold open call virtual auditions for Ohio on Wednesday, Sept. 6 via Zoom.

During this season’s first round of “American Idol,” hopefuls can sign up to audition face-to-face in front of producers and receive real-time feedback.
