SM Email Audition & SM's Announcement of 2013 Global Audition

theskyisfalling said: Your voice doesn't have pop and ballad voices separately built into it, And if you choose a lame kpop song that's all bubble gum pop your talent wont be showcased. Theyre not looking for general pop singers to just sing songs on stage. if they were looking for that they could find plenty in korea. Theyre looking for people with talent and charm that can outshine thousands of other auditioners. an american pop song sung exactly like the original means you haven't found your own voice yet. Just like how people talk with different voices, they also have different singing voices. It would be especially bad to imitate the style of the singer of each song (if the judge is interested they will make you sing multiple songs) Kpop companies (especially sm BoA has said this before on kpop star) want "a white canvas they can paint on" this is why the more younger the better. This doesn't mean however that you'll get into the company without being able to sing or dance. It just means that they want to use your talent and tweak it so it can represent the company more.

oh okay. thx for that information i didn't know it before.

i'm sure i can't sing it better than taeyeon bcuz her voice is unique in my opinion and my voice isn't XD

it's really bad they always compare everything with the original. it's just normal that most of the people can't do it better than the original singers but this point doesn't mean that even if they can't beat the original singer, they still may have talent. they shouldn't base or compare so much on the original and look more for individual or unique people with a great voice and talent.. if you know what i want to say with that ;w;

[Guest dravenge]

hey anyone went to audition recently? in seoul for the weekly auditions. I need some information on it because i just got back from the auditions. I went in december, really close to the global auditions. would they wait for the globals to be over first before making a decision from those who joined the weekly's? im at a loss :/ Any information would be helpful thanks.

[Guest dravenge]

and it wasnt really like anything i read. there was only one judge and everything was just recorded. But in my group the judge paid attention to only me and this other girl when we were singing though, taking down notes and stuff, but she didnt give any attention to the others, looking down and playing with her hair and stuff. is that good? Do i have to wait till the global auditions are over before the results are realised?

[_RaiN_]

@Dravenge: Mmm, didn't you post the same thing on my thread? o___o Don't double post. 
Regarding your question, there has been situations similar to the one that you've encountered, it's not always like 3 panel judges with everything, most of the time actually it's just one judge. I'm sorry to sound disrespectful, but the way you word your sentence makes you sound a bit cocky. If the judges just have interest with you, it doesn't mean they're interested, they might just be looking and taking down some notes. If the judges are truly interested, they'll ask you to stay behind and interview you.
And I'll say it again, don't double post the same thing on two different threads.

didnt mean for it to come out that way lol. But then again thanks for the info, and honestly it was kind of weird that day, meaning the judge wasnt really a judge, she was just sitting there and just overseeing the whole audition. and once it was all done all they did was pack up the stuff and leave. My guess was that it was cuz they didnt want to accept anyone first before seeing the outcome at the globals. So if they find someone really godly in the globals, my chance is gone :/

[Guest Celestra]

@dravenge let me start out by saying that your post didn't come off cocky sounding at all. Second, based on your post I think you do have a chance. Granted it's a small chance but I think it's definitely there. I'd give it a wait until globals are over. There was a post in another thread where a girl was talking about how SM was possibly interested in her but told her they are going to wait until global auditions were done with to see if there is anyone better.

[Guest dravenge]

thanks so much! i really do hope i managed to impress them enough though. :/ @Celestra

[Guest dravenge]
