The Brown Brothers’ Unique Audition on AGT 2022
Gabriel and Nathaniel Brown, Navy veterans and brothers on the autism spectrum, took the AGT 2022 stage for a memorable audition. Gabriel humorously opened up about their challenges with socializing, describing themselves as high-functioning and adept at blending in, though he humorously noted he’s never encountered a “normal” person.
Aiming to Inspire
When judge Howie Mandel inquired about their goals on AGT, Gabriel expressed their desire to be a voice and inspiration for people like them. The Brown Brothers showcased their musical talents, with Nate as a multi-instrumentalist and Gabe as a singer skilled in vocal impressions.
An Innovative Audition Format
For their audition, the brothers presented the judges with yellow character cards and blue song cards, leaving the performance up to chance. This resulted in a vast array of 576 possible combinations, making their act an improvisational challenge.
Impersonations with a Twist
Interestingly, a Simon Cowell card emerged, adding a playful element to their performance, given Cowell’s frequent role as a subject of impersonation. The brothers stand out from other impressionist acts by starting songs in a standard style before transitioning into character. Gabe’s proficiency as an impressionist added a unique flair to their performance.
