Email Auditions

This my experience with email auditions. There's a trick you can use to have your email audition viewed quicker. But to find out you'll have to keep reading [:


I will start talking about the audition video first.

For your audition video you want to wear something simple
You want to show you full body when your going to sing/dance/act
Most places have you audition video be at least 1 min.
DO NOT DO ANY EDITING ON YOUR VIDEOS! The ONLY exception for editing is if adding your going add a singing and acting/dancing video into one. Other than that there is no editing allowed.

If your going to sing/act/dance do it like its your last chance. Show you passion and emotion show them how much you want it. They have professional eyes they can see if your heart is into it or not.



Application: Some company will have a English application, but not ALL of them do
So I will break down the application most of them will ask the same thing. If not look online if someone translated the application.

Live Auditions

Hey guys so this is going to based on my experience from what I've been through and seen

Prepping for a Live Audition:

BRING WATER AND A PEN!!!

Dancers: 
You will most likely be freestyling to their random music of choice unless it's been told/listed other wise. If they allow you to bring your own music think of it as a #1 PLUS! Your song will have to be at least 1-2 mins long most likely 1 min. The reason why I say bringing your own song is a PLUS is because when I had to dance for my audition, the Entertainment provided the songs and let's just say I was thrown off and had to freestyle to Gwen Stefani - Hollaback. I'm not saying I hate her but just be prepared cause some of the songs are out dated.

Singers:
For Singers I advise you to have 2 songs printed and practiced doesn't matter if your song is in English or Korean [Korean would be a plus though] reason why I say 2 songs is because for singers you will ONLY get 30 seconds to perform, If you impress the judges they will ask you to sing another song. They strongly advise you to focus on the chorus, and choose a song that shows off your voice not a song you enjoy. OH! your are allowed to bring your printed lyrics to the practice room ONLY, not in the Audition room with the judges.

Actors/Actresses:
Have 2 Monologues printed it doesn't really matter if it's in Korean or English [Korean would be a plus], memorized and ready to go. 2 Monologues in case they want to hear more remember your ONLY have 30 secs. 

Models:
For models they will have you strike 3 poses and I think do a Mini runway walk.



Walk through of the Process: 

Some Korean Auditions will have you submit an Email application. What all that does is secures your spot/time of audition, they do welcome walk ins but I HIGHLY suggest you fill out and submit your email application cause walk ins are the LAST people to audition.

Arrive an hour earlier than your audition time because this is how it went when I auditioned.
My friends and I had different time groups [They put you in a group with other people who are auditioning with the same time as you, so I'll just call it time groups] They will have you line up behind the audition waiting room you will head in the audition waiting room and the workers/volunteers will handout applications to you. EVEN IF you filled out an application online, you WILL have to fill it out again. I strongly suggest you bring your own pen because they will not provide you with one. After you finish filling out your application they will go over on what will happen during the audition.

After they finish explaining they will call your group time and have you head to the registry table, you will hand them your application and they will give you a sticker. You will be spited into 2 groups Group A and Group B. After everyone get's their sticker all that's left is the waiting game, ALSO! I strongly advise you use the bathroom right away because when they call your number they call it pretty quick and if you miss the group that your supposed to be in, you will be forced to wait at the end of the line. They will have you turn off your cell SO your left with 3 things you can do in the Audition Waiting Area.
1) Practice
2) Stretch
3) Socialize
Here's my Sticker [:










Once they call your Group Letter and Number they will have you line up in the hallway in Numerical order, you will be standing for a while cause you'll have to wait for the group before you to come out. Oh you will be in a group with 5-7 people. After the group before you comes out they will give you the ok to go inside the room.

In the Room you will see a recording camera, a table with 1-3 judges behind it and a long time of tape on the floor. They will have you cramp, I mean stand behind the line lol. You CANT NOT cross that line of tape the ONLY exception are dancers and models. DO NOT! AND I REPEAT DO NOT! INTRODUCE YOURSELF!!! If you do introduce yourself YOU WILL GET CUT you will either be asked to leave or miss your turn. Reason why is because your wasting your 30 seconds to perform and you have to make that 30 seconds count. After the person before is done performing you will right away go next, do not introduce your piece just start singing or w/e your auditioning for. Dancers will either go first or Last, What they do for dancers is have ALL the dancers dance at the same time. KEY POINT is to look at the camera not at the judges.

After they dismiss your group you will leave the audition room and get to GO HOME!!!
It will take 3-6 months until they contact you, the wait sucks but its because they have to send the audition tapes back to Korea and Review it.

GOOD LUCK! and I hope this helped you guys out! [: HWAITING!
