(before July 19) (before July 22) This round is held several months before the judges' audition in Shanghai that would also host the televised second round.

Audition process The auditions take place in front of the judges and a live audience at Shanghai Concert Hall. At any time during the audition, the judges may show disapproval to the act by pressing a buzzer which lights a large red X on the stage. If all the judges press their buzzers, the act must end immediately. But sometimes the judges pressing X doesn't mean the judges do not like the performances or the act. It is a way to stop the performance as the judges had heard enough because China's Got Talent doesn't have the 90 seconds rule. Voting works on a best-of-three basis for series one through three. For series four, voting is based on best of four. Series 1 (2010) Series one auditions of China's Got Talent begun on 25 July 2010.
