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]
To felice well the audition times are different for every place right that’s what I’m assuming
An also an update I got my jyp audition number they’ll probably give you yours as the audition day comes closer I’m number 6 hahaha
how long do ppl have to wait till they get the email registeration reply?? i waited about 2weeks and i still didnt get any reply. should i wait longer?
To sma
Which audition are you t asking about sm or jyp
for sm I don’t think they’re giving out numbers I got an email but no number
For jyp they give you your number as the audition date of your location gets closer
Hope that helps
to hitomi: i sent mine 10 days ago..so does that mean they don’t want me or something? o.o; i used my gmail account to send it..idk if they got it?
to anonymous: i sent mine on 10/24, and i still haven’t gotten a reply yet..in my email i just put in all the stuff that they said on the website.. i’m just afraid they didn’t get my email ><
dude guys sm wont send anything back!O.O
felice: i live in the US, Florida :)
springwater+everyone else: You guys did attach an picture with your application right? o_O
to hitomi: yeah i attached a picture..actually 2 pictures. why do you ask?
to hitomi: by the way, did you attach your picture as an email attachment or did you just paste them into the email?
springwater: i attached 2 too, as an e-mail attachment
to hitomi: ah, okay. i sent an email again because i’m paranoid. the first application i sent was like a mix of an application & an audition, and this time it’s just the application info..i hope they get it =.=; and you live in florida? that makes me feel better..cuz i live in georgia and i was wondering if they were not replying just because i lived far away from new york ha ha.
springwater: lol the auditon+application e-mail mix was wat i kinda did too :P since I’m doing modeling I sent in 2 of my modeling pics ^_^
to hitomi: ha ha ha we think alike. ooh modeling..you must be really pretty then :D i signed up for singing and i attached 3 videos for the first email..i guess i just have to wait for now. thanks a lot for your info ^^
spring water:lols i live in LA!!!!:D!
Whos gonna audition for the 1 is LA?
I sent another application, I hope they get this one! I hope it’s not too late yet, I ‘m auditioning in LA and that’s like less than 2 weeks. At first I thought the reason why they didn’t send me a ticket was because of my nationality but I found out that Junior has gotten an email back and he’s Flipino. And then somebody said it may be my location that they were pretty strict about but I just read some comments about new york audtion and one person already recieved email from sm and they’re from out of state. I don’t what to think anymore! maybe because of my age or my appearance??? oh man! this is frustrating like I don’t waste my time and drive there when they have already set their minds…
to anonymous: i know exactly how you feel! >< i havent gotten a reply for my application either :/
ugh i hope they dont stop the weekly auditions because they just finished the global auditions in LA.
to hitomi: by the way, what did you use as your title for your audition emails to jyp and sm? idk if my emails went to spam just because i put my name in my title :/
to SnoopyXD: what do you mean finished? i thought global auditions are on nov 15 for LA
springwater: i titled my audition e-mail for SM ‘2009 Global Audition’ and if your going to ask this is what I sent: (i erased some of my info)
