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.
2. Dancer – Free Style Dancing, CD to be submitted to the reception desk on the audition date by the applicant. (If you do not bring any CD for dance, random music will be played.)
3. Actor – Impromptu Acting, memorized monologue to be prepared by applicant.
4. Model – Free posing. (5 or more)
5. Producer/Composer (Writer) – Producer/Composer (Writer) Demo CD or written music to be brought by the applicant.
[hat tip to junior]
ryu… thanks for the answers, appreciated :)
Natasha… no clue for MC, the website didn’t provide info for that; you’ll need to send them an email for confirmation.
Hime… do it solo; it’s unofficial, but auditions are meant to be solo most of the time.
Thx 4 the snswer appriciated,
Would it be better 2 sing a BoA song, I was thinking of the song “Every Heart”, or should I jus sing a regular song more my status?
I have 1 last Question..
If u send in ur lyrics is that all u send in, or do u have 2 give in a demo of someone singing it 2?
Hime… demo.
Hello again yein jee ssi..i am very sorry interrupted you..i juz want 2 know about d latest information sm global audition..where and when..thx a lot..^^
Nothing yet.
If we make the demo does it have 2 be composed or can it be acapella?
Either way should be fine. Personally I think acappella is better.
Can I sing my written song and put on VHS or does it have to be on a disc?
And should I sing it or should I have someone better?
Hime… if it’s composition, send the file in MP3 or WAVE format. If you don’t know what it is, send an email to SM and ask if you could send in a VHS or visual file instead.
