Questions about SM/JYP/YG/etc auditions?

Sorry but I'm more interested in Sm so some of my answers would based on Sm's style. 1. NO, there's no age limit in auditioning.

But I suggest auditioning where you're 13-18 yrs old would increased the possibility that you'll be accepted 2. Jyp and Yg doesn't have any weekly audition but jyp has online audition http://audition.jype.com/board/?id=notic... Yg is currently holding global audition http://www.allkpop.com/2010/05/yg-entert... http://www.allkpop.com/2010/12/yg-entert... Official website : http://www.yg-audition.com 3. Well, if you'll audition for Sm then you need to be pale, but if you're auditioning for Jyp and Yg.

, it doesn't matter if your pale or not as long as you have the talent 4. If you'll stay indoor and avoid sunlight you're skin might whiten.. If your living in cold countries like korea, after how many months your skin will return to its normal state like if you're natural skin is white then it will go back to being white.. Use whitening lotion everyday and every night, be patient and you'll get the skin you've always wanted. 5.

They look for charisma, confidence and passion. You need to have all these 3 in order to survive entertainment world.. it's one of Sm, Jyp and especially for Yg's criteria. 6.

It doesn't matter what song you sing, their looking for singing talent so your voice does matter here. 7. You can just clap if you don't know how to freestyle but freestyling will show off your talent in dancing.

Hello~~ 1. Are there any age limits for the auditions? How old is exactly OLD?

No, there are no age limitations, but I would suggest to audition under the age of 20. 2. Are there any weekly auditions in Korea?

I know that SM has one, but do JYP or YG have any? Also, must you be a resident to audition? Is it possible to audition when you're just visiting korea?

No, JYP and YG do not have weekly auditions. But luckily, JYP has online auditions if you want to check it out. (audition.jype.com) You can apply for it all year round.

Yes, you may just audition if you're visiting Korea. 3. Must you be pale?

I know this a pretty lame question, but i'm pretty tanned... Probably not for JYP and YG. Most of their artists are pretty tanned, not Snow White white. SM would most likely give you skin cream or the sort to make your skin whiter.

Your skin could naturally get paler by time. 4. Following on question 3, anyone know any ways to lighten skin color?

I used to be pale but then I spent too much time in the sun >< Companies also look for passion. You have to show them you will go for that goal and you want it. Don't worry, if they see potential in you, they'll take you in and train you to your best.

(: 6. Is it better to sing in korean or english? There is no better in here.

As long as the song shows of your vocals, or it's easy for you to sing. Prepare at least 3 songs just in case, a different language each. 7.

For the rhythm test, do you have to dance or can you just clap? I'm a bad freestyler T. T It's your choice, but freestyling to the music is recommended.

It'll show the judges you can do more, but clapping is fine. 8. Anyone know which information on auditions are true or false?

Do you mean as in if they do all those steps in an audition? I'm not quite sure on what you mean, but there is a person on here, (xguy) who is currently an SM trainee from what I see, he knows a lot about the audition process. You can look him up.

9. How many trainees are in the companies? I heard SM has 100, but on another site it said they only had 20.. No one is sure, but there are probably only a handful.

10. How can you make your singing improve? I can't seem to sing powerfully and belt... and how can you improve your vocal range?

Just practice everyday. Practice makes perfect. (: Start with warming up your voice before you sing, so you won't damage your throat and voice.

It helps a lot. Drink warm water, or some lemonade with honey. Go search online for vocal warm ups and freeing your vocal range.

11. Any good recommendations for an audition song? Hmm, I would say a ballad song.

Do NOT sing a song from their company. Here are some suggestions- (along with English and Korean songs) Reflection - Mulan Part Of Your World - Little Mermaid Sad Inflection - Kim Bum Soo Hopelessly Devoted - Olivia Newton John Those are just some I just thought off of the top of my head... sorry. ^^ 12.

How tall would they want you to be? I'm pretty short... so any ideas on how to grow taller? ^^" They probably don't have a height limit, so don't worry.

I'm pretty short, too. I'm 4'11. 13.

How to improve dancing? ^^" Again, practice, practice, practice! Start off with easy dancing steps from dances.

Copy the dancing and make up your own. Or you could take a dancing class. 14.

What clothes should you wear for the audition Wear something casual. Something you would wear to school, but with a little more. Don't overdo the clothing and makeup, though.

They want something fresh and natural. Most of my answers were SM & JYP biased because I know more about them than YG. Sorry~~~ good luck on your audition!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
