This post is quite helpful. I, and I'm sure many others, really appreciate you taking the time to hear the voices of soompi members, and making a thread.

I think I'll give auditioning for your company a go. It seems like a worth while thing to do ^^

hey. hmm. can i audition through e-mail?

They perfer you to audition in mail.

Here's a quote from the Brothers Entertainment site

"to be certain we receive your package, make sure to send an actual tape/CD by US Mail. Some people only send files by email, but our spam filters often delete them without being opened. You can email to introduce yourself and we can give you an address that has capacity for such files. "

I hope that answer your question ^^

Hello everyone.  My name is Gary Boone and I am the President of Brothers Entertainment.  It is nice to be able to reach so many of you by internet.  I rarely have time to speak with people that want to audition, so I am taking the time to leave a general message for the many people that have an interest in entertainment in Korea.  First I want to thank all of you that have taken the time to email or send your audition packages.  Unfortunately it is not possible to respond to each and every inquiry due to the number of people that contact us daily.  I can assure you that each and every package (or email) is looked over and we do contact only those that we truly see potential in.  

     One of my staff members did notify me of the thread regarding my company on this website and number of posts on this forum.  I did read all the pages personally.  While much of the information posted by members is accurate, other statements or comments had incorrect information or was totally false.  I was a little unhappy to read some comments by people that auditioned that feel the need to lie about their ages, ethnicity, or to just send their samples for feedback so they can directly audition with SM, YG, JYP, etc.  I understand that many of you are young and that it is quite natural to express your opinions - just be aware that this is a public forum and you never know who will read your posts.  For this reason, I chose to write here to clarify some misinformation and answer some frequently asked questions.  Here are some helpful tips:

1) You only have ONE chance to make a good first impression.  Never send cell phone photos or sticker pictures.  Don't send only small portions of songs (sing an entire song, and don't cut out the difficult parts).

2) Don't feel the need to lie on your applications about age, ethnicity, etc.  Also, send your own actual photos and not someone elses.  The same for singing, don't send a good singers clip and pretend it is yours.  Eventually the truth is always revealed and you will look very bad.

3) We do not discriminate and will accept auditions from any nationality, however, be aware that in Korea the chances of a non-Korean to become a superstar is extremely slim.  I highly suggest you try to audition in the USA or your native country.  We no longer reply to emails asking if you will be accepted based on your ethnicity.  You are evaluated on talent, so anyone is welcome to audition.  We can try to help you, but their are very different business practices in Korea.  Many companies are open-minded, but there are more companies that are unwilling to accept a non-Korean.

4) It is true that males do have an advantage to audition.  In Korea, the industry often especially requests that we provide male singers.  This is unfortunate, but not our decision to make.  The main reason is that male singers tend to become more successful and the females that have come from the USA have not done well (even though they sing good and look good).  Another common issue is that parents will often not permit their daughters to go to Korea to persue their dreams as easily as parents of males.  Eventually this might change in the future, but as of now this is the situation.

5) If you are asked to provide more information or are told to practice harder, don't hesitate or become lazy.  I will not reveal his name for privacy, but one Soompi member actually had a very good chance to be in one of the most popular new male groups in Korea right now.  For whatever reason he did not have the dedication and devotion that we requested.  I feel bad for him because he had great potential but let it become a waste.  

6) Many people want to know why they should audition for us and not directly with the companies in Korea.  It is simple, we have nearly 20 years experience in Korea and know exactly who is needed for what company and the companies trust in us to send only the best people.  We are known for creating several superstars and are able to fight on your behalf.  We have a legal team that will work hard to get you the best possible contract.  If you go to Korea on your own to any company, you will have no control over the contract or terms.  We have the knowledge, and knowledge is power.

7) Finally, if we like your demo and your image, you will eventually be contacted.  We base our decisions on many factors, so remain hopeful and try to exceed our expectations. If you do not hear from us, don't take it personally.  There are too many people that audition and there is not enough time to notify everyone who is rejected.  Chances are high that you are not what we are looking for and we encourage you to try any other company.  Please trust and respect our judgement.  Very few people get selected so the odds are very slim to begin with.  We are known for making superstars - that is our reason for doing business and there is no reason you would be rejected if we honestly didn't think you had a chance.  The biggest mistake people make is rushing and sending a very bad demo and bad photos - as I said earlier, you only have ONE chance to make a good first impression.  It is a good rule to follow in life.

     In conclusion, I hope I have answered many of your questions.  Thank all of your for your interest and for your continued support of our stars from the USA.  If you have a dream, with or without us, try and make it come true!  Always give 100% dedication and effort in all that you do.  Best wishes,

Gary Boone

President
