The judges' auditions were taped from September 19 to 27, 2018 at the Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios in Johor, Malaysia like the previous seasons.
The judges' auditions once again feature the Golden Buzzer. Each judge would have one chance to use the Golden Buzzer. The hosts (as one) also get an opportunity to press the golden buzzer. The so-called Golden Acts, those on whom the Golden Buzzer is used, would automatically advance to the semifinals. Jay Park pressed his golden buzzer for the Singaporean digital magician, TK Jiang, on the first episode. Anggun pressed her golden buzzer for the Taiwanese hiphop dance group, Maniac Family, on the second episode. Alan & Justin pressed their golden buzzer for the hand shadow performer, Shadow Ace, from the Philippines, on the third episode. Lastly, David Foster gave his golden buzzer to Eleana Gabunada, a musical singer also from the Philippines, on the fourth episode.
Below are the acts who are confirmed within the show to have received at least two Yes votes and thus had successfully passed their auditions, as well as the Golden Acts. The list does not cover everyone who had passed. Due to time constraints, some acts, named or otherwise, are seen with their fates partially known (only one known Yes vote) or edited out completely from broadcast and are thus not listed.

NOTE: Please be guided that the successful auditionees are listed according to their order of appearance. Golden acts are italicized. This list contains the aired auditions only. |
Like the previous season, the deliberation round was held at the Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios in Johor, Malaysia. It was shown at end of the final auditions episode. Throughout the entire auditions, 99 acts received at least 2 yeses from the judges, including the four golden buzzer acts. Aside from the four acts that received the golden buzzer, the judges chose 20 more acts who would compete in semifinals. The four golden buzzer acts and the judges' picks would bring the total number of semifinalists to 24. The first eight semifinalists were announced after the deliberation round, with the others to be revealed gradually as the semifinal rounds progress.
The semifinal rounds were taped on December 6, 10, and 13, 2018 at the same studio as the judges' auditions.
Just like in the previous season, only online voting methods are available, but the Facebook hashtag voting was dropped. The audience may vote through Facebook Messenger and Google search. A maximum of 10 votes per day, per user, per platform is implemented. [15]
The revelation of results is slightly different, being revealed in the following week rather than the next night (as semifinal rounds are only once weekly, barring replays). The Judges' Pick returns this season. The judges would come to a unanimous decision to send one act straight to the finals. This is similar to the Judges' Choice in the other local franchises, albeit one ahead of the vote rather than after and based on the vote. Aside from the Judges' Pick, the two acts with the most public votes would also advance to the finals. There would be a total of nine finalists emerging from the three semifinal rounds.
|
Voting for this round took place exclusively through Google Search due to technical problems experienced on Facebook services by users in numerous countries several hours before the episode aired.
