SM Entertainment, one of Korea’s largest talent management agencies, is kicking off its 09′ global audition on February 14th in its home ground, with plans to extend the audition to China, Japan, South East Asia, Canada and USA etc.
SM is looking for various talents in singing, acting, dancing, modelling etc. It’s said that all Asians are welcome regardless of nationality and age… but I doubt they would want a 40-year-old veteran lol.
[update] USA & Canada audition announced; no news on other places.
Nov 15 – Wilshire Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles
Nov 22 – Toronto Korean Center, Toronto
Nov 22 – Executive Plaza Hotel, Vancouver
Nov 27/28 – Korea Village, New York
Refer to SM Entertainment’s official website for more details. Also check out JYPE audition and Avex audition which are running in Oct/Nov in US and Canada.
1. Singer – prepare 1 or 2 songs which you can sing without accompaniment. Please make sure that you are confident in your song selection and that the song fits best to your voice.

to Susyy:): i’m going on friday too!! maybe i’ll see you there :D i heard it’s going to rain tho…><
so if you dont make it, you won’t get anything? btw, you know how you get free posters if you audition, what poster did sm hand out this year?
felice: when u register u grab a SM Global Audition flyer and a booklet, the booklet has all their singers in it and a little info on them, (dont know if its ‘all’ dont know much about SM artist but the big ones like BoA), they also had posters on every wall of the building, one of them fell in the waiting room and a girl ran to pick it up, there was also a couple of posters behind the registration desk, but I don’t know were they giving them away, maybe if u ask u can get one
hitomi: cuz my friend said last year when she went they handed out posters. but is it okay if like i go dignity-less and rip the posters off of the wall? XD
I’m auditioning New York on Friday!!! :D just for fun though because I found out too late and i didn’t get a chance to prepare anything ;_; so excited ><
