ABC13's Jacob Rascon sat down with producer Brian Robinson, who had advice for all "Idol" hopefuls.
"I think, first of all, picking a great song. The next step is to relax and be confident. Know that you've sung before. You sing at your house all the time. You sing for people quite a bit," Robinson said. "And this is just another opportunity to do so. So, relax in that moment and really give it your best. Take a deep breath and deliver."

Robinson is one of the producers Texans could meet during the August 14 open call.
He said hopefuls can expect to start out in the call with other singers and maybe even some special guests from previous seasons. Then, you'll be taken into a one-on-one room with a producer, where they will get to know you and hear you sing.
