Auditioning In General

[Guest depressionalism]

have a dying questions to ask...

well i'm an asian but not a chinese neither a korean...i'm a malay...

does yg or jtune accept different races?

and would playing my own composition be an advantage

and one more thing, i'm not residing in Korea..apparently i'm residing in Singapore

[Guest ignoreme]

thanks! :blush:

Do you think you could translate the J.Tune Entertainment form?

i have got it translated so will post it soon

thanks for reminding !

[Guest tanakacchi]

I live in the US.

Okay, so if I just put the disc & forms into one envelope and drop it into the nearest mailbox, about how long will it take to get to the company? (Without going to the post office & getting quick shipment or whatever.)

Would you advice to just go to the post office to get it mailed quicker & isn't there an option that also notifies you that it has arrived at the company?

(Hope that made sense...)

you can but a scan sticker, it nofies if it has arrived at the location, howver the compsny doen not inform of they have accepted or not. The only way u will get a call is if you have passed the round.

[Guest tanakacchi]

^Okay, thank you.

I have more questions now.

What could be a reason they won't accept the package?

what will happen to it if they reject it?

if u sent it to the right address, they will recieve it if there was a mistake, the package will come back to you. If however they recieved, whether u pass or not, you will not get it back.

[Guest tanakacchi]

^Okay, thank you very much.

[Guest tanakacchi]

What are good examples of headshot & body shot pictures to send with the audition?

[Guest superstar`kiss]

What are good examples of headshot & body shot pictures to send with the audition?

It's not hard. It's just as they're called.

A picture of you from a straight angle. No side angle or from up top. (You can tend to look better that way.) And then just take a full body picture.

[Guest tanakacchi]

^Okay, thanks. But smiling? Body shot...NO poses? Hands at side, or can you put them on your hips?

Would it be okay to include extra posed shots too or no?

[Guest mybigbangtop]

i really wanna try out but i have no idea how to make a demo cd. =[

is it okay if i just videotape myself singing?

any suggestions?

[Guest bigbangfan1234]

i have a few questions.

1. which companies are the best to audition to be a dancer?

2. does age, height, ethnicity or appearance play a big role? (i'm chinese, but i barely speak or understand it. im 18, 5'3" and i consider myself okay looking)

3. how much experience as a dancer do you need to have?

i'll come up with more questions later after these are answered.

[Guest wildcard.]

a while back I talked about organising a concert with baby vox rev. and the bboy group gamblers. Since Gamblers is doing a movie with Hollywood which will be released in Feb, this is a great publicity opportunity for them too. well, yea, we're really doing it. the gig is in Jan and i'm part of the organising comm.

We're looking for bands or groups that might be interested in performing. There'll be an audition. It's gonna be a mini talent show and you'll get to perform on the same stage.

also, the man I'm working with is considering opening up something lke Bros Ent, not just for Korea but also for Vietnam and Thailand since a friend of his has ent companies in those countries.

I think I just might be getting into this business.... muwahahahha.... well, not as a star but as the PD or or whatever you call it.

[Guest tanakacchi]

Are .mov video files okay, or is there a better choice?

Which is the best to go with?

[Guest ohdangchang]

bigbangfan1234

1. which companies are the best to audition to be a dancer? perhaps try a few companies you really want to get in to.

2. does age, height, ethnicity or appearance play a big role? (i'm chinese, but i barely speak or understand it. im 18, 5'3" and i consider myself okay looking) i would say a moderate-tall height. they perfer okay-good looking dancers and people who can dance, if your really good at dancing & okay-good looking then you got yourself a good shot.

3. how much experience as a dancer do you need to have? it depends on how well you are good at dancing already, and what you can and cannot do, and how fast you can learn new moves.

hope those helped out a bit :]

[Guest inn0c3nt_ang3l]

uhm...this might be a stupid question but i still want to ask

is it ok to sing a korean song but just in a different language [ex: english]?

[Guest ignoreme]

does anybody have mrizing's audition form ?

i can't seem to be able to download it

well i can but it doesn't open in my comp so just blank word doc.

[Guest HermioneHero]

thank you so much..

this will be very helpful for me... ^^

edit

I can't find JTune's Audition Page but i have the application form so i'll post the tranlation of it

that's strange o_o

most companies dont want you to edit your pictures !

Sorry I havn't made very many updates on here lately...

It's cause the topic died and so I assumed people were no longer interested.

I've noticed that a lot of the discussions in the different entertainment company topics are discussions about auditioning in general rather than on the entertainment companies ...

So I decided to make this topic with an overview of entertainment company's in Korea and also,

just for everyone to be able to help eachother out ^^

Um.. well I'll just start off with several entertainment companies...

If you know of any others, just let me know and give me the address to their main website

Also, sorry but I'm too lazy to translate all the info on every site by myself so I just did it for the big ones...
