Auditioning In General

[Guest lonelybee714]

Thanks for all the info. I was wondering about this but I don't think I'll try anytime soon though. lol.

[Guest chemical9]

^ Why didnt I think of that =D

Thank you very much.

you're welcome. lol

good luck with auditions ^^

[Guest oreoo]

Ah I have another question.

I have a camera (yes it takes video) but the size of it is SO SMALL.

Do you think it's better if I sing on the video (because its so small that like i dont want them to squint to see me)

or just record my voice, take pictures?

if the video quality really is that bad, you should better take photos and just record your voice. how about lending (edit: oops i meant borrowing) a camera? there´s also webcams with reasonably good quality, which cost about 10-30$. you might consider one of them ^^

Maybe you can send the video, but inform them that its small.

But no matter what, you'll still have to send pictures.

What chiyo suggested is good too.

Maybe you can borrow one. ^^

would knowing multiple languages be an advantage when you are auditiong?

Lik lets say that you are a a litte over average singer with little training, and solid dancer, and knows Engilsh, Korean, Japanese. Would that give you and edge over lets say a good singer.

Would it give an advantage at all?

In my opinion, I think it would be an advantage since a lot of companies now are looking beyond korea and are hoping to expand to other countries...

But I'm not sure which one they would pick if it came down to

Multilingual over average singer vs. the good singer...

[Guest Lu.cile]

i have a question.

for the pictures, how can they know if it's photoshopped or cellphone's photos ?

and it's okay, if i put 4 pictures in 1 ?

I think it would be an advantage to speak more languages, but we can't say that the multilingual person will have a higher chance of getting in or anything like that. :] It depends on what the company you're auditioning for is looking for at that time.

I don't think its a good idea. They already said they don't want edited pictures. :]

If you're sending it, then maybe you can send all four? Like separately, not all in one.

If you're auditioning live, then I don't think the picture is that important because they'll see you in person anyway.

i´m bumping this thread, since people are starting to make new threads with questions about auditions etc. maybe we should ask a mod to pin this thread or something.

Nope. You can audition even if you live out of Korea.

If you don't have the Resident number then I guess you skip that part? Lol.

!8 is NOT old by the way :]

about the pictures... isit just the face or your whole body?

it's up to you ^^ but it's better to send both imo.

[Guest JWonNie]

[Guest keyboarding]

[Guest x3DOLPHiN]

I have a question [:

- OPTIONAL video of your specialty (include as a file)

file, meaning like Megaupload ? or a Youtube link?

&& when your filming yourself. Should it be showing

full body or just face down to the shoulders?

& if you sing, or act. Should they look at the camera

at all times. ?

Please answer :]]
