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]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLE!!
Lol so I decided when I go to the Vancouver jyp sm audition I’d record it
probably won’t allow it but ill record the outside lineups and ish lol
To Everyone: Woooooooooooot! Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Lol, haha my class sang happy birthday to me twice and the guy with the locker next to me sang it 2 more times to annoy me lol. xD
To rio: Happy Birthday Rio!!!!!!! I know it’s tomorrow, but i might be busy tomorrow and not be able to go on the computer :(
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Lol, wow, i read the link, shocking :O It seems as though its harder in asia than in america :O xD
To junior: Yaya! :)
Could you also ask people to sing for you to record? And later on find out if they got in xD This way we all would know what to expect xD ;)
Thanks :)
I guess being a Filipino is another disadvantage. I really they can just upfront about the qualifications. Like the age limit or the nationality.
To Shinie:
I am from Singapore too…hehess…
To all:
Good lucks and i might be able to come here often and all the best!
to belle and rio: happy birthday to the both of you!! may you both have more birthdays to come.. to life!! =)
to anonymous: are you filipino?
to junior: yeah,that’s be a great idea junior and goodluck btw =)
Happy birthday Rio!
sassy. Yes filipina but I don’t look it. I’m fair skinned and almost everyone I meet for the 1st time mistakens me an “asian” girl. Imdont know what they mean by that but they always say I don’t look like the typical fllilipina which makes sad. I really wanted to audition to be a model, I’m 5′6 115 pounds but I feel like I’m a grandma already, I’m almost 25.
To Yeinjee: do you know where i can download an application form? because all of the application form i downloaded comes out weird and all…
and do you know what else i need to send along with it?
Happy Birthday to Belle and Rio!! sorry if it’s late.
cammy: where do you live? and so lucky to have the sm audition 3 blocks away. hm…
Where do you register online?
i heard jyp is also having an audition here in toronto. hm.. i’ll go check on that.
i was shocked and excited at the same time the other day…
i first saw the JYPe Auditions update…i was sooo excited that i even changed my plan on going to sm this year,,but after few more search..i saw an update on SMe Auditions….i was like WOAH!!!!!…..i’m going to try out on to two Entertainment in Toronto,,first,, SM on November 22…then JYP on November 24th…..waaahhhh….we’ve been waiting for sooo long guys and finally we’re closer to reach our dreams…:D….GOOD LUCK to EVERYONE!!!…See you in Toronto (if u r going there)….!!!
to anonymous:ok i don’t think i got this right. you look asian.. because you’re fair skinned? so you mean,you look kinda chinese?? i don’t see why there’s a distinction between filipinos and ‘asian’.. filipinos are asians.. and you don’t look like a typical filipina? why, how do filipinas look? i’m really not getting this.. and so what if you’re fair skinned?? that doesn’t mean you can’t be a model..
hi everyone!!!
to anonymous:hi im also a filipina i’m 19 years old,i’m also trying to audition for sm jyp and yg entertainment…

South East Asia? I wanna join. I wanna go and audition.
hi jcel!!!! Are you in the PI right now???? I was born here but my family originated from Makati.
Hi Sassy. Sorry if I confused you. Most Filipinos have tanned skin and I’m the total opposite. I’m not saying it’s a disadvantage but I have never heard of a Filipino getting into SM.
