Sm Audition 2008?

[Guest a_dreamer143]

not to put down any1 but some say that if u didnt get asked to come back on the spot then u didnt make it...but then again it did say there to wait 4 weeks eeek idk guys :/

[Guest inufan52]

my friend is a trainee there

and he said that its not really what it seems to be

because even though they casted you as a trainee

that doesnt mean you will debut

because the main reason almost every trainee is talking about

is that they casted you before you get discovered by other companies

they dont want you to go to their competition

instead they take you in and leave you there to train

there are more than 20 trainees there that have been training for 6 years

already and still didnt debut

many just quit and went home with years of their lives wasted but you see

thats just how companies are

theyre greedy and competitive.

they are smart…VERY smart…

but good news because if youre the main asians

like chinese or japanese

you will most likely to debut before many others

partially because of your talent

but mainly because of your connections

they want to use you or others to open up to the

market and expand there

VERY SMART INDEED and cunning

but thats about it

i apologize deeply but its the truth

my friend, korean, is training there and he said that

if this offended you in any way

please give this a second thought and try to

understand

its very easy to comprehend

i wish everyone good luck

and be careful, be safe, and be healthy!

=)

PS: i know this is kind of hypocritical but im auditioning too!

haha im very sry!

o.o;

can't you just leave and go to another company?

may doni left yg and debuted somewhere else.

stupid to leave yg though T_T

[Guest inufan52]

i guess they can

good idea!

=)

haha im very slow at things

so yeah...

but they probably cant because they signed a contract and

usually when you sign it,

it might last a few years

like about 6 or so years?

is it allowed to go to a different

company?

well my friend said it so i have no idea...

anyways:

ANYONE AUDITIONING FOR THE 2008 GLOBAL AUDITIONS?!

ANYONE FOR NEW YORK?

[FallenSkies]

^

i think you can. alot of trainees drop, so if u can drop i think you can go somewhere else. i mean if you leave the company, they really have no control over you anymore, right? O_o you only cant drop if ur already debuted (obviously) acutally i dont know so dont take my word for it ^^;

[Guest girleye]

I'm from Austria, but I 'm going to Toronto in 2 weeks and I would like to audition too.

Do you think that I am allowed to audition too, even if I 'm not American or Asian citizen?

I'm Chinese but born here in Austria.

Do I have to know how to dance if I just want to sing?

Can I fill in the form there?

What I mean is that I won't send an EMail.

i just auditioned for the NY one a few hours ago

and it was nothing like i expected=)

other people was shocked when i sang

but i think i was another ordinary girl

i think they wanted someone different

oh well

nothing ventured nothing gained

although im PRAYING to god (even though im athiest)

that i can sign a contract with SM

im willing to sacrifice anything:

Xmas with my family

my baby cousins forgetting me

my family's warmth

laziness

distance from home

lack of friends

birthdays and holidays

education (?)

freedom.......................?

just so i can sing on the stages of Asia.............

but its just a stupid dream of mine

=) sry about me wallowing in self-pity

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AUDITIONING IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!

oh i think i saw you commenting a video on youtube

girleye

hmmmmmmmmm....

Yes I'm the girleye from youtube.

Were there many people in NY?

Were they good?

I really hope for you to get a contract.

I have the same dream like you.

I would also sacrifice all this nice things in my life just to stand on a stage to sing and dance.

How old are you?

Are you Korean?

Do you also have an account on youtube?

Ohh...and something else.

How many did they call to come in?

Or did you sing alone?

OOMG..I have so many questions.

[Guest -LoVe-]

heyy girleye, I'll answer your questions,lols.

They send in a group of 20 peoples', but the first 10 they stand up in a line, then one by one they introduce themself just your name and #, then you say like I am gonna sing/dance/model/act. Then it just goes down the line. And the other 10 peoples' they watch you audition. After that the 1st 10 peoples' just leaves the room and then the other 10 peoples' just does the same.

[Guest Pinaiicolada]

OOOH My group had alot of guys that sung like angels *.*

The judges only talked to those in my group that could speak korean...

they asked them questions and such like if that guy was that guys brother or friend or w.e x3

But yeah :/

I was one of the only people who could dance exceptional in the group (not to sound conceited.. x3)

I wonder if not being the typical asian (chinese, japanese, korean etc.) lessens your chance of getting a callback

Thanks for the answers.

Did you also go to an audition?

[Guest bemyrainbow]

when u go for an audition in malayia which language do u speak in?n i heard from my fren through her fren that when u r there for audition,they wanted u to try for every catogary lyk acting,modeling,singing,dancing.

btw,for the songs,if we mispronounce some korean wors its gonna give judges wrong impression uh?

[Guest girleye]

OHHH!!

I'm so nervous!!

I'm going to Toronto the day after tomorrow and then on Saturday I'll be going to audition there.

!!

Oh!!

I don't know if my song is good enough for them!!

I will write again after my audition.

See you then

[Guest angieebabyy]

i went to the toronto audition yesterday and i havent heard a thing. has anyone actually heard good news this year?

[Guest iluvxiah94]

I really do hope they come back

AND PUT CHICAGO BACK ON THE LIST

Omg I was so mad they took Chicago off the list!

I LIVE LITERALLY 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM CHICAGO!!!!!!

But yeah...enough of me spazzing XD

[Guest ailannguyen]

I couldn't go to the auditions this year for Toronto. >.<

Sadly, my parents rejected twice about it already. But, hopefully I'll find other ways to audition!

[Guest angel_cutie]

i asked my mom yesterday!!

and she said yes! LOL

well i didnt really say straight out if i can audition

i just asked her if i could go and get the posters =PP

and thats PART of the reason why i want to go^^""

but what i really want is to audition

(i hope i dont get followed ^^"")

I'm pretty sure that you aren't allowed to drop before the contract is over.. once you sign the contract, you can't drop and you have to follow everything the contract says (which probably says that you have to stay and train with them to your best ability for x years)

if you can drop, they might have penalties for dropping the contract because they trained you (language / dance / singing etc.) for free for x years and you promised to do the x years. so it wouldn't be fair to them if there weren't any penalties

[Guest holykeebler216]

SM is holding auditions in LA every weekend at the moment

i'm not sure when they will stop, but I'm going the weekend of thanksgiving.

it's called "the search for the next BoA", and you can go to the website and find information

im not auditioning to be the next BoA, and i dont think thats all theyre looking for

you can try for specific categories, so yeah.

question: if you dont want to get plastic surgery, will they drop you?
