Hi ·  f56dd654-9eef-11e1-8cfa-000bcdcb8a73May 15, 2012 5:42 PM,

1. I'm 17, is it okay for me to still audition?

As long as you don’t look like your in you 80’s you’re fine. J

2. I'm not that good in singing or dancing, pretty average I guess, but if they see potential do you think they'll still take me in and help my talents grow?

If you have the potential then you have a chance. If you know you have the potential train a little first so that the judges will see you have the skills to make it.

3. A) I'm thinking about email audtions because I live in the Wisconsin, USA, and if I pass it and go to the 2 audition, is it with an audiance? or in a room with the judges?

No audience. Just the judges, unless you do the global audition and there will be 10 people auditing counting you.

B) Are any auditions live with an audiance?

No.

4. I'm 5'3 and around 125 lbs, do you think it's okay? Because I was recently reading SNSD's profile and they are tall and super skinny! [insert my sad face]

Okay first off SNSD is not tall. They have a couple of taller members but they aren’t all tall. With your height you would be taller than Taeyeon, Sunny, and Hyoyeon.

4. My vocals arent that strong...and they aren't high. My range is kind of low. I sing better with a low song, is it alright because most of the Girl SM Artists have nice high-pitched voices, which are also strong...
   
   

Another thing is most girls in SM don’t have that great high voice. They are trained well so that you can’t tell. You’ll be amazed with what training and a mic will do to your voice. If your voice is low that’s fine. Just means you’ll stand out more. J

Hi MaegiMay 19, 2012 11:27 AM,

For the weekly audition you may bring your own CD and dance routine. :-D

Hey TruedreamRTMay 20, 2012 5:29 PM,

If you think you have the talent and skills need to make it give it a shot.

Hi Kimmy,


>>So, just in case, I don't want to say too much, but... I was in the room by myself (with the judge, obviously, hehe) for about 20 minutes. I'm not sure if that's considered a while for the weekly auditions.

That is considered a good long time. :D

>>She, the judge, had me sing two songs, had me dance a little bit, do the rhythm test, zoomed up on me... that sort of stuff. So is that a good thing? Okay, well either way, I hope you can respond to this!

I’m guessing she liked what she saw and knew SM would also so she did all that stuff with you.

>>>

>.< Oh! And I'm Korean and pale if that makes any difference :) And how long did it take you to hear back from them for the 2nd audition? Was it the day after like in the Global auditions or was it like a week later? I'm not sure if you have already answered stuff like this but... yeah. Thank you so much!

SM naturally will prefer Korean’s so that should be in your favor. It might take a couple of weeks.

Good luck you all!
