Geoff Shell on ABC's Windy City Live as guest judge

Geoff was honored to be a guest judge on ABC's Windy City LIVE for Mazda's "Dare To Dream: Search For A Star" contest.

Geoff listened to hundreds of contestants and had the unique opportunity to provide constructive feedback for everyone who auditioned. Approximately 120 contestants were invited for callbacks, then it was the judges' job to narrow this group down to 12.

Geoff was joined by MashPlant founder and CEO, Jason Brett, Chris Petlak from 101.9 The Mix and Robin Hughes, artistic director at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre.

Check out the clip of all four judges deliberating over who should be in the top 12, then see Geoff and Chris interviewed by hosts Val Warner and Ryan Chiaverini before they announce their final selections.
