sm will eventually create icons--- similar to Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Elvis, and Beatles. k pop is growing in popularity everyday.......*_*
i think western would get accepted if they're no too dark you know like a black person or too white like a white person i'm not being racist but i think a western person would pass the auditions if they're talented enough and they could pull it off as being an ethnic mix or an asia with double eyelid cuz there are some asian that look very western like choi siwon from ze:a and kim taehun from ze:a and specially taehun looks so western i thought he wasnt korean.just have talent and audition =)
I'd say the best way for a western person to get into the asian popstar industry is to try out for the Avex Star Search Auditions. Avex is a Japanese company and they welcome ALL artists, regardless of race. Plus, they're more or less like SMe, only without the slave contracts. They've got the Artists Academy too. Not to mention DBSK are currently over there. Now THAT would be the life.
Training to make it big in Asia while drooling and stalking Jaejoongie.<3<3
they obviously care enough about CSJH to put them in their promotional video. if they didnt care about our 4 girls, why would SM put them in the video to start with?
i TRUST in SM that CSJH will comeback.
you dont know ANYTHING about how it feels like in the industry because u havent been there.
i think its just best to give them the benefit of the doubt and be there for them when they ARE down.
I have no idea if SM entertainment is really abusing their artists. Well, i hope its not true, because most of my favorite k-pop artists is in SM.
And i would never want them to suffer. Just imagine them being beating up is just horrible. Well, no one have the rights to treat other people like that. Because human are human, not slaves. I just hope that the word "Slave" has never been invented.
I'm not so sure about SM directly abusing their artists, but definitely indirectly. The artists are given the decision to sign slave contracts. Since, all of them are young, they aren't aware of how much time and effort they would potentially spend in the following years. They work long hours and end up being paid less than they deserve. I'd consider that abuse. Sure having fame and glory would be awesome, but are you willing to sacrifice ALOT for them? My advice:audition for other ent companies
Yeah... better to join other companies then SM, be safer. But i hope those who sign the slave contract could get out of it. Coz working hard and not getting wat you deserve is really (could say bad). What's bad is that this is a abuse between human and human. I really don't know wat is going on on Lee Soo Man's mind...
Wealthy people like Lee Soo Man are too clouded in their own little world of greed. They wouldn't care. As long as they rake in the dough, no complaints. Once you sign that slave contract, you must fulfill it until it ends. You could possibly hire a lawyer and take legal action, but I'm not so sure. All I know is the celebrity life in South Korea really isn't as glamorous and fun as people would think it to be. Especially the scary netizens. One mistake and you can kiss your career goodbye.
That still doesn't make it right. Also, JYP recently said that he won't have slave contracts anymore, so that's good. But still, these people are being paid less than they should be for working hours and hours everyday. Case in point, working in Kpop is a huge sacrifice in your life. Choose wisely, and trust me, there have been many that have auditioned, gotten accepted, and changed there minds during the training process.
I'm chinese and i've always wanted to try out but my chinese is all gone! DX i forgot it all and all i can speak is english :[ so idthink i can try out :[
i don't think theres any western ppl pass the audition but stephanie and isak
i meant, the ppl auditioning are like, too western i guess, and western artist in korean isn't really popular too, for example, isak
so u can't expect sm to just let a black rapper or a blonde teenage girls to let them pass, becuz you can't be popular with that kind of looks in korea or asia, it just weird (no offense).
western ppl can only be famous by western company, asian can only be famous by asia company
u fulfil the requirements if ur chinese/japanese/korean or strictly east asian looking. So for you south east asians/or islanders, youll hav a tough time.
Basically looks is the most important, talent is like secondary requirement. so if you got lots of talent n u look ugly, then no chance. Yet if your good looking, and you have abit of talent or potential, then you'll hav a greater chance..
errr not one of u people fall for this yeah theres auditions n i noe its to late for some other state auditions now but LSM he rapes girls before they get to become singers and he beats guys theres more that i noe if u guys r an dbsk fan hit me up if yall wanna noe bout wut happened to them thoe cuz me runnin out of characters!!!!
Do they have any keyboards set up that you can use? cause im thinking of auditioning for this year (if there is one), and i wanna sing while playing the mr on the piano.
do you think someone who's not asian can still go to the audition cause I can speak Korean not perfectly! the only problem is I'm not asian and I don't look asian at all I heard you can still audition even if you're not as long as you're really good do you think it's possible?? pls answer thx:)
can anyone plz tell me when is the 2008 audition in malaysia???plz...i need to know n really sorry for interupting...i miss last year audition and i think i dunoe anyting bout the audition at all...there was no news at all....n im sure many ppl dosen't know that there is an audition...-____-ll
just out of curiosity, how long do you think it takes for them to reply to an email? - i sent a few questions to the help email, not the application one
they rarely check the help email. but when they do it's usually once every 2 weeks. don't be surprised if u don't get a reply back or if u get an automated one. i think the best places to get your questions answered are either on the smtown website or at the soompi audition thread. hope this helped :)
Man, I want this so bad. I'm training so hard with my singing and dancing but it's nothing compared to what sm has. GOD I WANT TO MAKE IT, I dont care bout the pressure or anything cause I just love singing and dancing and wanna make a career out of it
Er, well there are trainees that barely speak korean. We know Henry of suju m can barely speak korean or chinese... he still got in. the only thing required really is talent and uniqueness. stop worrying and do your best at an audition. they aren't targeting any particular group, just a person with a lot of talent, that's all. XD
I'm afraid to audition because if i do make it, it might take me like flippn 6 years or so to finally debut. And i dont know if my dream can wait that long. im stuck in between doing American idol or this. I heard idol you basically have to sell your soul. And its way too much publicity in ones personal life. so i dont know what to do. help?
Questions: I'm gonna be going to college next year. You think that's too old to audition? And if I really did make it as a trainee, will I have to drop outta college? But if I never make it to debut, then dropping outta college would be a waste. 0.0?
Being a celebrity might sound fun, but its actually not. My friends brother, believe it or not, was chosen as a trainee in 2007. He was very excited to be picked, but he recently dropped out. Why? He was under so much pressure and had little sleep. He said it was totally unexpected and that he now knows what you need to go through to be a star. It's not easy. Hours and hours of practicing songs, dancing, learning foreign languages, how to be charismatic, comedic, etc...
exactly,some people think its really easy. it us fun at first because its new to you but it will get tough as you go on.thats why so less people get to be stars even thoe so many are trainees.some cant handle that much pressure and they quit^^"
And that's just the beginning of it. What happens when you become famous? You have to deal with rumours. You don't always get privacy with the media. The pressure stays even as you try to keep a postivie image unless you can work it the other way like Paris Hilton. And this is something that we as the viewers know about too. I guess only those who really love performing would be able to deal with the negative sides of this.
But honestly, I'd prob love the opportunity. I just hate the fact that the songs and band names created are so mainstream and unoriginal. like wtheck is with Wondergirls? Super Junior? These names are so elementary. :/
I know. But, when you look at the names, you can tell they don't give much thought to them. I'd pick a more creative name, you know? Especially in the entertainment business. And everything in this area is about first impressions.
Yes, but there are good things about being a singer too. being able to work with other artists, have fans, perform and maybe even have your own concert!! i'm sure that you have to go through a LOT of hard times but you will have happy memories too! If i had the chance to get in, i would not give up!!
what if i can sing but not dance? lol,i heard there is a 30 seconds freestyle. oh and if singers, they are only looking for people to sing in korean right?
It's 2008. You'll have to wait. Usually they'll train you in dancing too. It depends what they want you to be if you make it. Sometimes they also make you perform both a dance and song for the audition.
If cannot go there for audition.Can I send my voice that I record to SM entertaiment?Who can tell me can or not by using sending e-mail to SM. Pls tell me..
I think one of the reasons of the in-person auditions is to see how committed you are. If you REALLY wanna become a singer, you have to show them you're committed. Even if it means you have to take a ten hour car ride to New York...but hey, if you wanna send in the tape by all means do so. I doubt they'll accept you though =/
OMG i never knew there were auditions!!!!! and i live in Toronto ......even if the did i'm not sure if i was allowed to enter i would be 12 than and right now i'm 13; my birthday is in December
,im going 13 these year on 30 december can you guys wish that somehow i can make the audition and the worst part is im in England( mum studying here) and this too bad cause i cant be in Malaysia auditioning. Actually i believe i have a real talent like dancing but just ok in singing ahh dear god , friends help me
thanks youre great help kamsaheyo. ahh you must try harder too promise than we all can make to the audition.anyway what age are you and where do you live?
ah i really wanna cry, i wish someone will confort me, my mum dont know that this is my dream to become a singer, i bet she wont even let me bacause its againts our religious,yes im a muslim ,im a malaysian too.
aww...thats not fair! my mom ws againest me being a singer and still is lol but i still went and auditioned from sm.and i was a finalist for the vancouer audition though i didnt advance any farther because my mom wouldnt let me go to the private audition
lol wat number were u and only 3 people out of the 12 advanced. there were supposed to be 15 but most of them couldn't come. One of my friend (staff) was kinda fussy cuz most of them arrived late... from wat i heard they're gonna pick a new location for 2008 cuz the room was too cramped and only receiving 300-400applicants or split into 2 days cuz it was too rushed
ehh..i was in the hundreds from vancouver^^ but i didnt make it to the private auditions cuz my parents were like crazy about not letting me be a singer..imagine xDD i was a finalist where i lived and the reason i couldnt go was because of that lol but im gonna audition next year^^ hope i can be finalist again^^
hmm the audition is split into 3 so im guessing u got into the 2nd one? cuz 1st was raw where they hav almost an unlimited number then the 2nd one was only sent out to 20 people ish the 3rd one was from all the regions and they group together but no eliminations till the progress of training, Their still busy with the later auditions @.@ So the results are final for all auditions (including actor and models) will be around end of dec-january.
nope.. i didnt get to go because my parents didnt want me to go cuz they thought they were a scam -.-" i was so angry when i heard them say that cuz sm is the company that "made" dbsk and super junior the way they are now -.- so yah.. but i probably would have made it to the 2nd round if i went
well sm is quite an expanded company ranging from acting, singing, dancing, composition, to any fine arts. training those to succeed in what they worked for during their auditions, but i can tell u this sm sometimes is harsh...they auditioned 2 girls in as sm trainees but they were eventually rejected on half of their training never got to debut so yea. A scam tho isnt really the way to put it -_- also...wat does ur parents mean made o.O
why are the two girls kicked out when they are trainees? I mean like I know not all trainees can debut, but what are the reasons that caused them to lost the opportunity of being a trainee?
basically to clarify their choices they pick a number of people to go thru another audition... therez only a certain amount of people that they will actually accept as trainees. For 2008, They might change some aspects to create less confusion and disruption such as time and place which I think won't happen cuz itz not their problem but if you really wanted to audition you should consider rescheduling instead of complain
i'm thinking about this audition, but my mom wont allow me for it.. T.T she dont want me to become a singer..T.T this is sad... i really wanna do it.. and learn new stuff.. i dont care if i got rejected.. but.. at least i want to change my character become more open..
This may sound harsh but if you don't have enough courage and determination to persuade your parents, then I don't think there is a point in auditioning. Go out there and do what you gatta do to be in this audition if you are serious about it!
my parents send me to Canada for studying.. and it's not in the big city.. and they asked my brother to take care of me.. it's really hard to go away just like that.. i mean.. seriously...
if you seriously want to be a singer and train and stuff i think you would manage to make your parents let you go audition.get her to at least let you go audition.whats the big deal with that?its not like right after you're gonna be a star and go to korea -.- persuage your parents like i did. for a week i did whatever they wanted me to do and i got to go..and it wasnt easy but i did^^
im from malaysia n i just heard that there'll b an sm audition this december..i really wanna join it but the thing is that i cant sing at all..can i just audition by just dancing n not singing?..i'm a malay so..i guess i have like a very very slim chance 2 get chosen..but still wish to try it out..
haha i'm going to just tell you guys that are considering this that you will NOT be accepted unless you are either extremely (potential)pretty and/or extremely talanted.
they are looking for stars remember that
don't be shy and don't look down
oh. and you have to be asian
it says it on their website
all ASIANS are welcomed; if you're not asian you can go but they will not take you seriously
hmm unless you can speak a east asian language and blow their mind
lol an english (dont wanna say white) guy went in and first question they asked is do you speak korean? he was like No and only language i know is english. He had a good voice and all but in the end they said sorry but we are looking for asians or if you know any asian languages :/ poor guy XD
it depends on the region you are in, If you are auditioning in Canada, US, Toronto, Taiwan,etc they have a minimum requirement of actually knowing an asian language or just a little bit. Basically basic concepts of Hi, How are you, etc., they want you to be at least able to comprehend/understand, of course during your training as a trainee they will put you into divisions
lol well im not really that fluent still learning =like any asian language like japanese and korean there is a formal way of speaking we call that honorific in most terms basically honorific is greeting to somebody that u dunno or seniors/elders but it will be too long to post so basics Yes - Ye(sometime u will hear it like Ne) No - Anio/Hello - Annyeong-haseyo/Good-Bye - Annyong-hi gyeseyo or Annyeong-hi gaseyo/Thank You - Gomapseumnida/You're Welcome - Cheonmaneyo/Excuse Me - Sillyehamnida
i can tell you right now that korean is waaay more easier than chinese xDD the writing is way more simpler,like english but about 2 more characteres but hey at least its not like chinese..having to learn to memorized a billion characters lol
lol agreed, chinese is just like @.@ basically...i know cantonese (can read a lil and write a lil -_-) english, japanese (not fluent but im ok XD), korean in process, so yea :/ I would rather continue with my studies in korean...i find it much easier if u know japanese or korean (one or the other), learning the other will come naturally to you XD thatz my views :P
i'm chinese, goin 2 b 13 in may this yr, but i liv in singapore n is sm going to haf audition's in Malaysia? If so, i can go. Im plannin 2 try out 4 actin.
they had one last year right? im not sure if they are gonna have one again this year but i know lots and lots of people want sm to come again lol and good luck!!
personally, I think it's a waste of time to try out for SM audition if you know that you're not going to make it. Some people like to try it for fun and some people really want to be a super star.. I mean, SM Audition isn't the only place they can sign up for.
well itz within a month time and the earliest you would know is 2 weeks AFTER all the auditions and therez also the Malaysia, thailand and taiwan as well. First to know - Dance audition (new trainees), then the rest idk but for sure i know artist/singer auditions are close to last for results, basically the 30 second freestyle at the end also is a small evaluation for any and counts quite alot to see if u can adapt to any sort of circumstance/music style.
if ur asking how do i know? my friend (auditioned for dance) and got in but took 3 week notice, took her audition in Vancouver (oct 14) so it might be later for some people since they're completing the pile up for the toronto ones. They only select the maximum of 4-8 people in 1 region so chances might be slim
the 30 second freestyle is right after your main audition -> this is the test out if you can adapt to any situation no matter what music they pick (for ours it was Fat Joe Get It Poppin') and no they dont teach you. The best way to prepare is just by practicing some dance moves more of pop locks and such then just normally blend a basic choreography together.
The location for Vancouver this year i heard was pretty bad compared to 2006 (one of the sm staff said) the room was cramped so it was kinda hard to fit 10 people at first it was 20 then they cut it to 10 yet the room could only fit 5 lol...Dancing make sure YOU DONT STOP if u just stand there ull be mostly picked out first unless YOUR REALLY good at singing or at ur appeal
they'll post 2008 schedule when it's near the time to audition. like 2007, the didnt post unil august. the 2007 auditions have been over for about a month. im not sure if anyone has been called back yet.
wait i don't get it how come on the smtown website it only posted the info for 2006 not 2007 ahhhhh aren't they suppose to ubdate it or are they saying 06 is 07? ahhhh i hope they hold one in 2008 cuz i am sure gonna go but how can i go if they don't post the correct year? can someone help me :)
hey is there going to be an audition next year too? i think i'm gonna try next year even though i'm viet and i live in sweden.. i'll fly to the states no matter what!! hah to become a singer is my biggest dream..
I'm pretty sure there will be an audition next year. there was one in 2006 and 2007, i don't think they'll stop there. They havent picked any trainees yet :o
sm will eventually create icons--- similar to Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Elvis, and Beatles. k pop is growing in popularity everyday.......*_*

I really agree for their 1st album, there was a REALLY great promotion ! I mean, it was a hit and girls were famous but after ?
They went to Japan, return in Korea and that's all. Peoples forgot them ...
I just want to say it's a shame they don't have a real support from SM.
And maybe I'm wrong like you said, but all I saw is that.

i meant, the ppl auditioning are like, too western i guess, and western artist in korean isn't really popular too, for example, isak
so u can't expect sm to just let a black rapper or a blonde teenage girls to let them pass, becuz you can't be popular with that kind of looks in korea or asia, it just weird (no offense).
western ppl can only be famous by western company, asian can only be famous by asia company

u fulfil the requirements if ur chinese/japanese/korean or strictly east asian looking. So for you south east asians/or islanders, youll hav a tough time.
Basically looks is the most important, talent is like secondary requirement. so if you got lots of talent n u look ugly, then no chance. Yet if your good looking, and you have abit of talent or potential, then you'll hav a greater chance..
basically looks looks 60%, talent 40%.

Do they have any keyboards set up that you can use? cause im thinking of auditioning for this year (if there is one), and i wanna sing while playing the mr on the piano.
pkj477 3 years ago
they want u 2 sing w/o music
AlyM37 3 years ago
you can sing with music if you're the one playing the accompaniment. but you can't have a cd accompaniment.
in certain audition sites they might have a keyboard, but the safest choice (just in case they don't have one) is to bring your own.
hope this helped and good luck!

do you think someone who's not asian can still go to the audition cause I can speak Korean not perfectly! the only problem is I'm not asian and I don't look asian at all I heard you can still audition even if you're not as long as you're really good do you think it's possible?? pls answer thx:)

just out of curiosity, how long do you think it takes for them to reply to an email? - i sent a few questions to the help email, not the application one
NasakeShirazu 3 years ago
they rarely check the help email. but when they do it's usually once every 2 weeks. don't be surprised if u don't get a reply back or if u get an automated one. i think the best places to get your questions answered are either on the smtown website or at the soompi audition thread. hope this helped :)

heartXiah 3 years ago
Er, well there are trainees that barely speak korean. We know Henry of suju m can barely speak korean or chinese... he still got in. the only thing required really is talent and uniqueness. stop worrying and do your best at an audition. they aren't targeting any particular group, just a person with a lot of talent, that's all. XD

Questions: I'm gonna be going to college next year. You think that's too old to audition? And if I really did make it as a trainee, will I have to drop outta college? But if I never make it to debut, then dropping outta college would be a waste. 0.0?

KimKiBumLover24 3 years ago
Being a celebrity might sound fun, but its actually not. My friends brother, believe it or not, was chosen as a trainee in 2007. He was very excited to be picked, but he recently dropped out. Why? He was under so much pressure and had little sleep. He said it was totally unexpected and that he now knows what you need to go through to be a star. It's not easy. Hours and hours of practicing songs, dancing, learning foreign languages, how to be charismatic, comedic, etc...
khb92591 4 years ago 2
exactly,some people think its really easy. it us fun at first because its new to you but it will get tough as you go on.thats why so less people get to be stars even thoe so many are trainees.some cant handle that much pressure and they quit^^"
angelmkagome 4 years ago
And that's just the beginning of it. What happens when you become famous? You have to deal with rumours. You don't always get privacy with the media. The pressure stays even as you try to keep a postivie image unless you can work it the other way like Paris Hilton. And this is something that we as the viewers know about too. I guess only those who really love performing would be able to deal with the negative sides of this.

I know. But, when you look at the names, you can tell they don't give much thought to them. I'd pick a more creative name, you know? Especially in the entertainment business. And everything in this area is about first impressions.
ahan21 3 years ago 4
Yes, but there are good things about being a singer too. being able to work with other artists, have fans, perform and maybe even have your own concert!! i'm sure that you have to go through a LOT of hard times but you will have happy memories too! If i had the chance to get in, i would not give up!!

It's 2008. You'll have to wait. Usually they'll train you in dancing too. It depends what they want you to be if you make it. Sometimes they also make you perform both a dance and song for the audition.

I think one of the reasons of the in-person auditions is to see how committed you are. If you REALLY wanna become a singer, you have to show them you're committed. Even if it means you have to take a ten hour car ride to New York...but hey, if you wanna send in the tape by all means do so. I doubt they'll accept you though =/

aww...thats not fair! my mom ws againest me being a singer and still is lol but i still went and auditioned from sm.and i was a finalist for the vancouer audition though i didnt advance any farther because my mom wouldnt let me go to the private audition
angelmkagome 4 years ago
lol wat number were u and only 3 people out of the 12 advanced. there were supposed to be 15 but most of them couldn't come. One of my friend (staff) was kinda fussy cuz most of them arrived late... from wat i heard they're gonna pick a new location for 2008 cuz the room was too cramped and only receiving 300-400applicants or split into 2 days cuz it was too rushed
ivilgui 4 years ago
ehh..i was in the hundreds from vancouver^^ but i didnt make it to the private auditions cuz my parents were like crazy about not letting me be a singer..imagine xDD i was a finalist where i lived and the reason i couldnt go was because of that lol but im gonna audition next year^^ hope i can be finalist again^^
angelmkagome 4 years ago
hmm the audition is split into 3 so im guessing u got into the 2nd one? cuz 1st was raw where they hav almost an unlimited number then the 2nd one was only sent out to 20 people ish the 3rd one was from all the regions and they group together but no eliminations till the progress of training, Their still busy with the later auditions @.@ So the results are final for all auditions (including actor and models) will be around end of dec-january.
ivilgui 4 years ago
lol but they sent me the rejection email lol
angelmkagome 4 years ago
O i thought u meant u went thru the 2nd one which was the private in which they sent u the e-mail for acception and consent

nope.. i didnt get to go because my parents didnt want me to go cuz they thought they were a scam -.-" i was so angry when i heard them say that cuz sm is the company that "made" dbsk and super junior the way they are now -.- so yah.. but i probably would have made it to the 2nd round if i went
angelmkagome 4 years ago
well sm is quite an expanded company ranging from acting, singing, dancing, composition, to any fine arts. training those to succeed in what they worked for during their auditions, but i can tell u this sm sometimes is harsh...they auditioned 2 girls in as sm trainees but they were eventually rejected on half of their training never got to debut so yea. A scam tho isnt really the way to put it -_- also...wat does ur parents mean made o.O
ivilgui 4 years ago
ehh srry grammer is bad xDD i mean that sm is a really good company because you can see how dbsk and suju is doing now for so long^^

Endocinch 4 years ago
you sing,dance,take pictures(?) by yourself with only the judge at where they're staying ^^" so there isnt anyone else with you
angelmkagome 4 years ago
basically to clarify their choices they pick a number of people to go thru another audition... therez only a certain amount of people that they will actually accept as trainees. For 2008, They might change some aspects to create less confusion and disruption such as time and place which I think won't happen cuz itz not their problem but if you really wanted to audition you should consider rescheduling instead of complain
ivilgui 4 years ago
i'm thinking about this audition, but my mom wont allow me for it.. T.T she dont want me to become a singer..T.T this is sad... i really wanna do it.. and learn new stuff.. i dont care if i got rejected.. but.. at least i want to change my character become more open..
this is really sad..
bawangrebus 4 years ago
This may sound harsh but if you don't have enough courage and determination to persuade your parents, then I don't think there is a point in auditioning. Go out there and do what you gatta do to be in this audition if you are serious about it!

heartXiah 4 years ago
i think if you're in like malasyia or thailand and sm comes for auditions there, they won't require that you speak korean/chinese/etc.
vortormor 4 years ago
it depends on the region you are in, If you are auditioning in Canada, US, Toronto, Taiwan,etc they have a minimum requirement of actually knowing an asian language or just a little bit. Basically basic concepts of Hi, How are you, etc., they want you to be at least able to comprehend/understand, of course during your training as a trainee they will put you into divisions
ivilgui 4 years ago
AWESOME!
cuz i kno some korean :D

lol well im not really that fluent still learning =like any asian language like japanese and korean there is a formal way of speaking we call that honorific in most terms basically honorific is greeting to somebody that u dunno or seniors/elders but it will be too long to post so basics Yes - Ye(sometime u will hear it like Ne) No - Anio/Hello - Annyeong-haseyo/Good-Bye - Annyong-hi gyeseyo or Annyeong-hi gaseyo/Thank You - Gomapseumnida/You're Welcome - Cheonmaneyo/Excuse Me - Sillyehamnida

princessofballet 4 years ago 2
well itz within a month time and the earliest you would know is 2 weeks AFTER all the auditions and therez also the Malaysia, thailand and taiwan as well. First to know - Dance audition (new trainees), then the rest idk but for sure i know artist/singer auditions are close to last for results, basically the 30 second freestyle at the end also is a small evaluation for any and counts quite alot to see if u can adapt to any sort of circumstance/music style.
ivilgui 4 years ago
if ur asking how do i know? my friend (auditioned for dance) and got in but took 3 week notice, took her audition in Vancouver (oct 14) so it might be later for some people since they're completing the pile up for the toronto ones. They only select the maximum of 4-8 people in 1 region so chances might be slim
ivilgui 4 years ago
Can you explain the 30second freestyle please? =)
And for dance, do they teach you a dance other than the original one you made?
I will be auditioning next year and HOPEFULLY I don't choke or else I'll beat myself up for it the whole year until the next x__x
W4TD4F4KCZ0RS 4 years ago
the 30 second freestyle is right after your main audition -> this is the test out if you can adapt to any situation no matter what music they pick (for ours it was Fat Joe Get It Poppin') and no they dont teach you. The best way to prepare is just by practicing some dance moves more of pop locks and such then just normally blend a basic choreography together.
ivilgui 4 years ago
The location for Vancouver this year i heard was pretty bad compared to 2006 (one of the sm staff said) the room was cramped so it was kinda hard to fit 10 people at first it was 20 then they cut it to 10 yet the room could only fit 5 lol...Dancing make sure YOU DONT STOP if u just stand there ull be mostly picked out first unless YOUR REALLY good at singing or at ur appeal
