SM Entertainment, the Korean talent agency that boost the likes of BoA, Kangta, TVXQ, Super Junior, SNSD, Ara and Lee Yeon-hee etc. will be holding the “08 SM Entertainment Global Audition” in Sept/Oct 2008.
The auditions will be held from September 19 to October 25 in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Orange County (CA), New York, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver. Nationality doesn’t matters, but it seems like they are looking for Asian faces only.
It’s funny that SM is calling it a ‘global’ audition when in fact the locations are limited to US and Canada. Regardless, it’s a chance for young Asian talents to try their luck if they are interested with the entertainment business.
Set aside the publicity purpose, SM do mean business with the auditions. If not mistaken Tiffany from SNSD and Henry from Suju-M were discovered from previous auditions… there might be a few more that I’m not aware of.
Check SM’s website for details and updates. Good luck if there is any taker here.
Lol. Thanks Yein Jee! I’ll really consider the plastic surgery =P
Hey!
Could anyone tell me if you can audition in a pre-made group with your friends?
Or if you have to do it alone/as a singular person?
Thanks.
I am not sure Jadey. Send your enquires to 2008smhelp@smtown.com instead :)
Thanks! But i’ve already tried that.
I sent a question about that yesterday..still not got a reply today..
how long does it take?
Maybe they have missed my email out by accident? :S
Not sure how long it takes. I guess it might be the off working days… try sending another by Wednesday if you haven’t go a reply then.
hehe,thanks for that.
Does anyone know around how long the choreography needs to be? I applied back in april, got an email invitation to the global audition, I applied again last month since the emails were different just in case. So do we actualy get a reserved spot? or is it open first come first served, just curious why the email applications.
I got an email invitation to the global audition sayin they will let me know through email when and where it is……does anyone know if, and when we will actually get the email with more info about the exact location and info of the audition?
oh yea, does anyone know when we actually find out if you were chosen or not? Do they tell you at the audition or contact you sometime later?
clarize… no exact idea. It’s best to get the answer from SM directly… you can send your enquires to 2008smhelp@smtown.com
This email is different from the registration email and is meant to answer questions for those who are interested with the auditions.
Good luck.
