<br />
It’s me, SMgirl and here I am to answer the <u>most commonly asked questions about the SM Entertainment Audition!!! </u><br />
It's kinda of a re-post but most of you guys seem to miss it and ask the same questions all the time! So here you go again!<br />
<br />
(These questions are one people have asked me and my friend that was in SM. Her name was Callie and I will put a Callie at the end of her answers.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Is it a disadvantage if I don't look Asian? Will SM accept non-Asian looking people?!</b><br />
There's no non-Asian trainees at the moment, but give it a shot! You never know until you try. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Is it true that some trainees never get to debut? :(</b><br />
Yes! There are only few chosen to debut and most just quit sm. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Must I sing in Korean when I audition?</b><br />
No. You can sing in any language.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; page-break-after: avoid;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>When I audition for singing, can i accompany it w/ guitar?</b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes you can!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>What type of girls do they want?</b><br />
Someone who is unique, has a nice figure, aura of an artiste, has a talent in the fields of arts (singing, dancing, acting), undeniably good-looking. I just noticed since almost all of the trainees have those common qualities. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Do you get your own room or do you share?</b><br />
You share.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>If you decide to go to a Korean college while you’re a trainee, is SM going to pay for the tuition?</b><br />
Yes. Everything that you needed will be paid by them if you're an official trainee.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What’s the difference between official and unofficial trainees?</b><br />
Official trainees are chosen by SM and SM will pay for them. (i.e. Dorm, Food, Clothes, Schooling.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Where do the unofficial trainees come from?</b><br />
Korea. They pay SM to train them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>If I’m 16 am too old to audition?</b><br />
Nope. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Training includes singing, dancing, modeling, acting and language learning right?</b><br />
Yep! (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How did you audition? What is the best way to audition?</b><br />
Go to KOREA! I went to Korea and tried out for weekly auditions. There's a better chance to be chosen as their trainees compared to Global auditions. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What’s a rhythm check?</b><br />
A rhythm check is when the judge puts on a random piece of music and you dance to it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How many trainees live in one dorm & how many in one room?</b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are
2 buildings -> one for boys and one for girls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">One dorm room -> about 8-10 people</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">One room (inside the dorm) -> at least 3 people each room.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Hey Callie, I really need some more Info about everyday life as a trainee. My parents aren't all that willing to let me audition because they are afraid of the environment. So what is it like? Is it safe and friendly? Please give in detail what it’s like.</b><br />
<b>Tell them SM will be the one to provide food, clothes, allowance, tuition fees, dorm, plane ticket to Korea (but not from Korea to your country) and more for you. it's just that they don't pay you. Tell them you train almost every day but you have a freedom to choose what schedule you are getting.</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">DAILY ROUTINE:<br />6 am -> wake up<br />7 -> go to Kent<br />3:30 -> dismissal<br />4 - 9 -> training sessions<br />9:30 -> we have to be back at home and as much as possible sleep at 10 to have an 8 hour sleep.</span><br />
<br />
(Since I’m a member of the school's pep squad team, i start training for SM at 5 every Thursday and Monday). (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
DISCLAIMER: I will say that my information is only what I've heard and read about. I have never gotten into SM Entertainment so some of this info may be subject to change over time.<br />

Hi SM Girl~ I'm american so I know that my chances of
getting in are very slim, but since SM is having a live audition in New Jersey
this august, I wanted to try out as a dancer.<br />
I know that SM has you freestyle, but do you perform alone, or do they have a
group of people all go at once?<br />
Thank you so much in advance! <3 p="p">
<div class="comment-content">
For the 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> audition
it’s just you and the camera person. For the 3<sup>rd</sup> audition you will
be with 10 other people in front of SME judges. </div>

Sorry my answer is late. I’ve been very busy with
college.</div>

I was wondering if SM really checks email auds. A lot of people say they just
reply with a generic message to everyone who emails.<br />
<br />
Do you think there's a chance to get in just through the email auditions? they
dont hold global auds in my area, you see.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Okay so a lot of people get the email. But the email
is true. They will let you attend the global audition and WILL pay more
attention to YOU, because you have already done the email audition. If you
don’t have global auditions near you, you will probably have you travel to the
closest audition. SM doesn’t pay for travel fees for your first 1<sup>st</sup>
and 2<sup>nd</sup> audition.</div>

Hello~ I'm scared of auditioning just because I don't
know much about being a trainee!~ But I really want to become one!~<br />
Anyways<br />
1) Are there any overweight or chubby trainees?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
As long as you don't look fat I think you'll be fine. </div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
2) I've heard that if you don't debut and like you got fired or left you have
to pay back the costs that the company paid for your training - is this true?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Some trainees that don’t debut will quit on their own. I haven't heard of the debts and whatnot.<br />
<br />
3) does height really matter? I'm 5'6 would that be alright! </div>
<div class="comment-content">
That's fine.</div>

Hello Sm Girl C: <br />
<br />
I'm sorry for the bother xD;; I See you have like a ton of questions ;;<br />
Anyways~<br />
I was wondering as a trainee you stay in dorms with other people, but like...
if you were to debut in a group how would you kinda have a clue of who you're
gonna debut with xD?<br />
Cause like SHINee has trained with each other for quiet a while C: </div>
<div class="comment-content">
I’m not exactly sure how SM chooses who goes in a
group. Probably whoever they think will work well together and are ready.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
Oh and I plan on auditioning when I finish Highschool ^^ So would 18..19ish be
too old LOL? </div>
<div class="comment-content">
As I mentioned before, there are no age limits. As
long as you don’t look old you’re fine.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
I'm 100% Chinese~ But I don't know any mandarin ;A;... i speak Teochew but i
doubt that'd help xD</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Being Asian is a plus. So is knowing another language.</div>

<cite>Hi <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/09133719561200077811">Anna</a></cite> </div>
<div class="comment-content">
So..... I was planning to audition for the youth star
audition next year but first i want to know how everything goes before i
audition. <br />
1. When you audition, what do you say to the judges?? o.o </div>
<div class="comment-content">
You should introduce yourself, something like this
would work: </div>
<div class="comment-content">
Hello my name is _______ I'm __ years old and I'm
auditioning for _____ the song I'm singing is ____<br />
<br />
2. Do we audition like at the same time with other people? Cuz i saw some
audition clips from the weekly auditions and there was a group of people and
they sang one at a time.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
For the 3<sup>rd</sup> audition you will be in a
line-up with 10 other people. The 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> audition
its just you and the cameraman.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
3. About my looks..... I personally don't think I'm that good looking, but i
don't think I'm ugly lmao. Should i send you a picture of me???</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Sadly, SM is really into looks. But if you are talented
and somewhat pretty your chances of getting in are good.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
3. I wear glasses and i think in one of your other replies, you said that its
better not to wear them. But my dad won't let me get contacts so is it okay if
i wear my glasses?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
SM wants to see your face but if you have to wear
glasses that’s OK. </div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
4. Let's pretend i get accepted. Then what?? o.o Do you think they'll walk me
through everything? Cuz i'm kinda lost with what happens after they accept you.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
You become an official trainee of SM. Your schedule
will vary but it should look something like this.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
DAILY ROUTINE:<br />
6 am -> wake up<br />
7 -> go to Kent <br />
3:30 -> dismissal<br />
4 - 9 -> training sessions<br />
9:30 -> we have to be back at home and as much as possible sleep at 10 to
have an 8 hour sleep.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
5. For the schedule, we get to pick which schedule we're getting but what are
the options? Cuz i'm 14 and i obviously have to go to school. But training is
just as important to me lol</div>
<div class="comment-content">
If you are still in high school they will keep you in
school and training is afterwards.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
Sorry for asking so much! >.< But i'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thankful that
you made this blog. *bows down at your feet* Reply soon~</div>

<div class="comment-content">
I’m glad you like the blog!<br />
I would ask you some question =<span style="font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">)</span><br />
1) I'm now 13 years old. I think I'll go for the auditions by 18 or 19 years old.
Do you think I'm too old for that?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
There is no age limit so you should be fine.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
2)SM Girl, I can sing till higher E, I know piano. I can dance but not Girls
Hip Hop or freestyle or anything. I just know how to dance ballet ! That's the
problem ! But I know how to dance SNSD's songs like Paparazzi, The boys and so
on. Do you think I can be a trainee of SM ?<br />
Knowing piano is good. If you can dance Paparazzi and The Boys you can dance
freestyle.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
3)You know, I'm a Chinese of Malaysia. I don't think I'm pretty but my friends
do ! I know that's fine, but my parents disagree about that I want to be a
trainee. Do you think they will kick me out because I don't have my parent's
premission to be a trainee ?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I highly recommend getting your parents approval! Trust
me you will want them supporting you.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
4)I know how to speak English, Chinese, Korean, (Learning now, but just basic),
Malay, Cantonese. Do you think this will higher my chance ?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
That’s great! More languages you know the better.</div>

hello im 12 (is it too young?) ....</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I would suggest waiting till you are older before
auditioning. Just in case you get in and realize this is not where you want to
be. Your 12 you still have plenty of time.<br />
<br />
im an asian (filipino) ..... i have tanned skin ... not so skiny and not so fat
.... and some said im pretty ...</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Asian is good. Eat healthy and drink plenty of water.<br />
<br />
well im good at singing and dancing and also at acting ..... i could learn
dances fast even just watching it ... i havent been in any classes like
dancing/singing classes or stuffs .... could it lower my chances ?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Nope, as long as you can sing and dance you’re good.<br />
.... ...<br />
<br />
well im planning on have brace this year cause i think my teeth was kinda weird
or something ... and i want my teeth to be good looking .... could i audition
with brace or should i audition first before i put brace?<br />
I would recommend auditioning before or after you’ve got your braces.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
im fluent in filipino,english and i know some basic of japanese and korean ....
i am planing to audition at 2013 cause right now all i do is practice .... is
it okay ??<br />
Being fluent in more than one language is good. I would recommend waiting until
you are older to audition.</div>

<div class="comment-content">
hey, i have recently been getting more and more
interested in trying out for sm, but im 13 and wondering if you have to be over
21 to audition normally and not the youth star audition, and if the age doesn't
necessarily matter then what is the difference. Im confused because on the
youth star auditions it says 8-20 but n the normal weekly auditions it says
there is no age limit. I was wondering if you could clarify what they mean. <br />
There is no age limit. 8-20 is SM’s recommended age. </div>

1. I was just wondering about the education you receive when you're an official
SM trainee...Do you get to choose whether you attend Kent? Or can you apply for another
private school? Or, is there an option for private tutoring instead?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
As far as I know Kent is the only school you will go
to.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
2. Also, if you audition as a singer, how good does your dancing skill have to
be? And do we really have to dance as well as sing? (I'd say singing is one of
my best strengths, but dancing is definitely the weakest out of all my skills,
as I really can't dance...)</div>
<div class="comment-content">
You do not have to dance. But you will have to do a
rhythm check. If you can’t dance I would suggest learning a dance cover or just
a couple moves from YouTube for the rhythm check. If you can’t do that just
clap in time to the music.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
3. During the audition, would it be alright for us to speak English or Mandarin
or Japanese over Korean? I'm definitely more confident speaking those three
languages than Korean, as I haven't really learned any words in Korean.<br />
If you can’t introduce yourself in Korean I would do English.</div>

Hey SM Girl, I want to ask about SMA 2013. Fist of
all, they'll have another auditon next year right?<br />
<br />
I'm a 14 year old boy, going 15 this December. I'm 100% Chinnese, but live in Indonesia. I
wan't to auditioning for them via email. But what should I send? I want to be a
singer, I'm great at piano and guitar as well.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Send your email here:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>smaudition@smtown.com</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
My height is around 177 currently. Is that too tall? And I'm quiet big. Not fat
but big. Not huge either. Is that a problem?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
That’s not too tall. Kris from EXO-M is 180.3 cm.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
I can't dance at all. So I have to learn dance or what?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I would recommend learning to dance as that will
increase your chances of being accepted.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
I can't speak Korean at all. I speak Indonesian of course, and English
fluently. Although I can't write a full page of newspaper in English, but I can
chat very well. So once again, is that a problem?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
No, if they like you and you get in they will teach
you Korean.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
And when they'll open the audition? </div>
<div class="comment-content">
I’m not sure when their having auditions in Indonesia.</div>

Hi SM girl ^^<br />
My name is Tania. i'm 16 years old. I plan to attend SMTOWN audition via email
next month. i'm indonesian. i can speak indonesia,english,germany, and korea
(just for introduction & some of the vocabulary that korean people use in
their daily life ). my skin is brown. my height is 158 cm. my weight is 52
kg. I can not sing very well but I can dance with very well, powerful and
energetic. with these characteristics it possible to me to pass the audition?<br />
thanks for ur
help before :)</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Knowing more than one language is a plus. Eat healthy
and drink lots of water. Dancing is only half of it. I would learn at least a dance cover for the audition.If you pass the audition you will probably be someone
more like Hyoyean from SNSD.</div>

I have a lot of questions to you, so.. xD <br />
My name is Naya, I have 17 years old, i'm 95 line. I'm tooo old to do the
audition?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
No, you are not too old.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
They will care about my name? Even if in the middle has like... a name of a
country? I'm descendant of <br />
Chinese, i'm really pretty and I can sing and dance VERY WELL. I did acting a
for 3 years too..</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I doubt they will care about your name sounding
different. Being pretty as well as being able to sing, dance, and act is great.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
but I have a problem, I'm from south america and I can speak Korean very well,
(but I speak 4 languages fluently)</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Knowing more than one language is good.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
can I do the WEEKLY audition in ENGLISH? Do you know NOW if they have a lot of
trainees? How many? </div>
<div class="comment-content">
Yes, you can do the audition in English. I do not know
the exact number of trainees.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
Wich song do you know in english that they like the most to do the audition?
What they ask to you in the audition?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Sing a song that fits your voice and showcases your
skills. A sad love song is always well</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
In the audition i will do alone in one room? They like small and cute girls? Do
you know if the <br />
idols there like foreigns? (like.. they respect them?) </div>
<div class="comment-content">
I’m sure SM and the other idols are respectful. There
are many foreigners that have debut so I wouldn’t worry about it.</div>

No, I do not have any

<div class="comment-content" style="margin-left: .5in;">

<br />
When I dance in the audition, they will put a music our I should bring a CD to
them? <br />
Bring a CD if you have a particular piece you want to sing or dance to.<br />

( Can you tell me if SuHo of EXO-K is pretty in personally? hahahaha i'm a huge
fan of him okay ;A; , just kidding!) </div>

<cite>Hi <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/06800790276876611250">Rabina Rai</a></cite>,</div>
<div class="comment-content">
hey, i see that you've helped loads of people with the
whole sm thing... a few more questions from me. (sorry if some of them are a
bit repetitve)<br />
<br />
1. how long does it take for the sm to contact you back if you got to the 2nd
round, and that is if you were to send an audition through email?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
It depends if you audition in person or by email. It
will probably take 2 to 4 weeks if it’s by email. If you don’t make it, they
won’t get back with you.<br />
<br />
2. so sm really dont pay for the flights to korea if you were to get through to
the 2nd round?? cause see i live in the uk, so it'd be very hard to take
flights to other countries, when there is a chance of not getting through</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Sometimes they pay for your flight, sometimes they
don’t depends on how much they want you.<br />
<br />
3. i have a pretty good voice (not amazing as other singers, but not bad to
listen to)... i feel like my looks are ok... (not wanting to sound too
arrogant), and i guess i can dance if i was taught it... would they take
someone like that?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I can’t tell you that as I am not SM. It’s up to them
to decide.<br />
<br />
4. have sm ever liked someone so much that they sign them up straight away? if
not, what do you think the chances are?? (just wondering, im not thinking that
they will love me and sign me up...)<br />
Not that I’ve heard of. Some people don’t have to audition a third time though.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
5. im around 4ft 10 and im 16... what do you think?? is it fine?? :S ;)<br />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></div>
<div class="comment-content">
I haven’t heard of a height limit and if you’re pretty
I’m sure it’ll be fine.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
im thinking about auditioning through email, but the thing is im not too sure
what will happen next if they were to let me pass to the 2nd round.<br />
thats it for now. i'll see if i have any other questions.<br />
thanks</div>

<cite>Hi <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/05621229362226486912">KLoverPopDreamerMist</a></cite>
</div>
<div class="comment-content">
So I’m going to audition for SM weekly in La in almost
a month and I want to ask some questions so I know whats the best possible way
to make it ^^ Please help in detail.<br />
<br />
1. I’m a girl at age 17 (just turned early june). I’m 5’6 so that would be
168cm and I am quite slim. I wear sizes 1-2 in skinny jeans. The last time i
checked in 2011 i weighed 105. Im 25% American and 75% vietnamese, some of my
friends that have met me for the first time have asked if I was korean. (Sorry
if im sounding cocky or braggy >.<) My skin I THINK is kinda dark….im
kinda like Hyoyeon (snsd) and Kai(exo) color. I know SM is looking for people
with a white and clear skin, I have a little acne around my cheeks. But im currently
getting treatment. (Clean and Clear, Lemon, Bio-Oil) Do you guys have any
advice in getting acne fater and blemishes to??? Please help. SO MY MAIN
QUESTION IS, do you think my features would fit the appearance “requirements?”<br />
<br />
It’s fine if you aren’t Korean the main thing they are looking for is talented
and pretty people.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
2. What is it like at the audition and how do things work? (Please be detailed
as much as possible) I want to audition for singing and dancing, do they let
you do both or only 1? My friend said my voice is decent, but I don’t have much
passion when I sing (That fustrates me lol) So any advice to have more passion
when I sing? And for dancing I think my freestyle is decent, but I tend to
repeat my moves, im not someone who’s embarassed to pop your chest and bootie.
But I am quite shy. Is the audition privately by yourself and the judge? Or do
you have to audition with others in like a row? Is it a plus if I sing in
korean? My korean friend said that my korean pronunciation is decent and I know
a few words here and there.<br />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></div>
<div class="comment-content">
You have to dance and sing. If you audition for
singing they make you do a rhythm check to a random song they put on. As for
more passion try watching some k-pop singers and try to copy their emotion.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
3. How long do they let you sing your song? Just a little (chorus) or they let
you sing the whole song. Will they tell me to sing more than 1 song?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
They let me sing the whole song but if you’re singing
a longer song you may not get to finish.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
4. For dancing, do they put on random music and make you freestyle? Or do u
have to bring your own CD? I also heard there is a rhythm test, what exactly do
you do in that?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I brought my own CD and danced to that. If you don’t
have a CD they will put music on for you do dance to. If you are auditioning
just for singing and not dancing they will still make you do a rhythm test. For
the rhythm test you’re supposed to show you can follow a rhythm. If you can’t
really dance try clapping in time. </div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
5. Do you have to do a brief introduction of yourself? And is there a possible
interview?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Yes introduce yourself, something like this could
work:<br />
Hello my name is _______ I'm __ years old and I'm auditioning for _____ the
song I'm singing is ____</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I haven’t heard of interviews.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
6. If i do pass the audition to the 2nd round, what do I have to do in that
audition? (It’d be great if anyone who made it through answer this)</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<span style="font-family: "New times roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">You have to audition in person so you will sing a song, dance, they
might ask you to do some facial expressions. If they are really interested
they'll start asking you a lot of questions.</span><span style="font-family: "New times roman";"></span></div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
7. Same thing if I possibly pass to 3rd round. I heard SM sends you to Korea for the
3rd round. Do they pay for your ticket and expenses and place to stay (detail
please) and if i fail the 3rd round do they pay my plane ticket back or I have
to pay it?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
It depends on how much they want you.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
<br />
8. If i make it and become a trainee what will life be like? The education and
training times? (Detail please)</div>
<div class="comment-content">
DAILY ROUTINE:<br />
6 am -> wake up<br />
7 -> go to Kent<br />
3:30 -> dismissal<br />
4 - 9 -> training sessions<br />
9:30 -> we have to be back at home and as much as possible sleep at 10 to
have an 8 hour sleep.<br />
<br />
Those are all the question I have so far, Please help me by answering them. I
really want to make the auditions. Please message me back~</div>

first? thanks :)</div>

Even if you aren’t auditioning for dancing they will
have you do a rhythm test. They will play a song and you can either dance or
just show you can follow a rhythm.</div>

<div class="comment-content">
<b><span style="font-family: "New times roman"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">13 is
a little young to audition. I would wait until you are at least 15. Besides
that, Your height and weight are both really nice.</span></b></div>
<div class="comment-content">
<b><span style="font-family: "New times roman"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Your
skills and hobbies are nice ones to have. Looking Asian sadly is a huge part of
getting into SM. :( So you look a little Asian which is good.</span></b></div>
<div class="comment-content">
<b><span style="font-family: "New times roman"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You'll need to have your family
standing behind you to support you are you'll never make it. Trust me.</span></b></div>

Being a dancer is great. But that’s only a half of it.
You need to be able to sing or at least rap. No group has a member that just
dances so I suggest you learn to sing and rap.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I would also suggest learning a dance that isn’t from
SM Entertainment.</div>

<br />
1.Lets say i pass step 1 of the audition by email, do i need go to korea
to audition for step 2 or i the same thing by email?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
You need to go in person and audition.<br />
<br />
2. Do they pay the ticket to korea
once i pass the step 1 or 2 audition?<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Sometimes they pay, sometimes they don’t. Depends on
how much they want you.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
3.Hows does the trainee life works and is traIning everyday or weekdays only?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
If you read my Q and A’s post it would answer you
question. http://smentertainmenthelper.blogspot.com/2011/01/qs-and-as-for-sm-entertianment.html<br />
<br />
4.Audition is just singing and dancing? Do i need to dress myself like a real
kpop singer?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
And also a little acting and maybe modeling. No, dress
in nice comfy clothes.<br />
<br />
5.The school they send you is korean school or international school?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Once again read my post.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>http://smentertainmenthelper.blogspot.com/2011/01/qs-and-as-for-sm-entertianment.html<br />
<br />
6.Lets say you live in a dorm, where do you eat breakfast lunch and dinner?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
You do live in a dorm. They provide the food so I
assume they will have a cafeteria. <br />
<br />
7. Do they give you allowance? If yes how much?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Yes they give you an allowance. I seem to recall about
120 dollars a month. But I could be wrong.<br />
<br />
8.Whats SM Academy?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
SM Academy is where you pay to have SM train you. They
train you like normal trainees and if they think you’re good enough they make
you an official SM trainee and then you don’t have to pay.<br />
<br />
9. Are trainee teachers really mean?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Strict, at times mean. But they want you to do well.<br />
<br />
10. Do they show you around the korea?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I doubt it.<br />
<br />
11.If you go to school or go to SM building to train , do they pick you up or
walk self?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
You will probably take the bus.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
12.What is the highest age to audition??What is the minumum and the maximum
year to train as a trainee before you debut?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
There is no age limit.<br />
<br />
13.Will SM call you continue to train even if your sick?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I’m sure they will let you rest. <br />
<br />
14.If the training is about becoming a kpop singer, why is there a acting
training??</div>
<div class="comment-content">
To be a singer is to be a performer. To perform and
acting move the audience you need to be able to show emotion. So acting is
useful.<br />
<br />
15.Once your a kpop idol are you still able to use Social Website like Facebook
or Twitter?? Do SM allow you to contact your family>?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Once you are an idol you can. But as long as you are a
trainee you can not.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
In the future please try not to ask so many questions
at once. It’s a lot of work for me.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Thanks,</div>

-I am 16 years old korean age(originally 15)am i too old to become a trainee?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
You are not too old. You’re still plenty young.<br />

-I am not asian but people often told me i look like one,does that increase my

Yes, that would probably help your chances.<br />

-I speak Korean,kinda fluently.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
What do you mean kinda? Either you speak it fluently
or you don’t.<br />
<br />
So if practise singing and dancing do you think i'd have any chances to join SM
if i audition via e-mail?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
You need to be talented and have the looks SM wants to
get accepted. If you think you’ve got it give it a shot.</div>

<cite><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/09710135561661978430">StopCyberBullying</a></cite><span class="datetimesecondary-text">,</span><br />
<br />
<br />
1. Is there a better chance for you to audition in Korea? Why? Because I am willing to
pay and fly to Korea
if thats true.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
The reason the chances are higher is became SM is
actually looking at you in person. At the Weekly audition or Global they video
tape you and send it back to SM. Email is also similar.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
2. I heard SM looks for looks ALOT. Not to be cocky but I'm pretty (alot of
people say that) Slim face, monolids, high nose and small mouth. Do I have a
higher chance?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
Your face sounds nice… although I don’t think SM likes
monolids. I believe Kyuhyun admitted he did surgery of get rid of his. Of
course being pretty will give you a better chance.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
3. I can sing pretty well. Hitting high notes is easy (I can sing SNSD's
Kissing You very well) I never tried dancing but I'm good at acting too. Based
on looks and talent, do you think I have a good chance?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
You may think you sing well until a teacher actually
starts teaching you. If you haven’t had any singing lessons I look into having
some.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
4. For global auditions (i live in Canada) how many people make it?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
It’s different every time. I can’t really say.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
5. I'm full chinese and know english. I don't know any korean so if I audition
in Korea
do I have to hire a translator or such?</div>
<div class="comment-content">
I think SM will help you with a translater if you get
accepted. If you just go there on your own to audition then you might need one.</div>
<div class="comment-content">
<br />
6. If I audition in Korea
and only staying 1-2 weeks, will they have enough time to give me the results? </div>
<div class="comment-content">
It should be enough time. Just let them know you’re
only there for a bit.<br />
<br />
You look cute. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></div>

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]<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="MsoNormal">

Okay first off SNSD is not tall. They have a couple of

I sing better with a low song, is it alright because most of the Girl SM

<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
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. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></div>

Hi Kimmy,<br />

<br />
>>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.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="MsoNormal">
That is considered a good long time. :D</div>

<br />
>>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! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m guessing she liked what she saw and knew SM would also
so she did all that stuff with you.</div>

>.< 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!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

SM naturally will prefer Korean’s so that should be in your

<br />
As you should know I was having trouble answering your comments. Well everything is back up and working so you can start asking questions again. :)<br />
<br />
BUT!!!<br />
There are a few rules and changes you need to understand.<br />
1. Only ask up to 2 questions at a time. Once yours are answered you can ask 2 more. <br />
2. I will reply you comments in a post each time. That way it'll be easier to find your reply.<br />
3. I'm in college right now and I'm very busy so please have patience. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks everyone!<br />

<br />
It’s me, SMgirl and here I am to answer the <u>most commonly asked questions about the SM Entertainment Audition!!!</u><br />
First off let me explain that my information is only what I’ve heard and read about. I have never gotten into SM Entertainment so some of this info may change.<br />
These questions are one people have asked me and my friend that was in SM. Her name was Callie and I will put a Callie at the end of her answers.<br />
<br />
<b>Is it a disadvantage if I don't look Asian? Will SM accept non-Asian looking people?!</b><br />
There's no non-Asian trainees at the moment, but give it a shot! You never know until you try. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Is it true that some trainees never get to debut? :(</b><br />
Yes! There are only few chosen to debut and most just quit sm. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Must I sing in Korean when I audition?</b><br />
No. You can sing in any language.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>When I audition for singing, can i
accompany it w/ guitar?</b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes you can!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>What type of girls do they want?</b><br />
Someone who is unique, has a nice figure, aura of an artiste, has a talent in the fields of arts (singing, dancing, acting), undeniably good-looking. I just noticed since almost all of the trainees have those common qualities. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Do you get your own room or do you share?</b><br />
You share.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>If you decide to go to a Korean college while you’re a trainee, is SM going to pay for the tuition? </b><br />
Yes. Everything that you needed will be paid by them if you're an official trainee.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What’s the difference between official and unofficial trainees?</b><br />
Official trainees are chosen by SM and SM will pay for them. (i.e. Dorm, Food, Clothes, Schooling.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Where do the unofficial trainees come from?</b><br />
Korea. They pay SM to train them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>If I’m 16 am too old to audition?</b><br />
Nope. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Training includes singing, dancing, modeling, acting and language learning right? </b><br />
Yep! (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How did you audition? What is the best way to audition?</b><br />
Go to KOREA! I went to Korea and tried out for weekly auditions. There's a better chance to be chosen as their trainees compared to Global auditions. (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What’s a rhythm check?</b><br />
A rhythm check is when the judge puts on a random piece of music and you dance to it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How many trainees live in one dorm & how many in one room? </b><br />
there are 2 buildings -> one for boys and one for girls<br />
one dorm room -> about 8-10 people<br />
one room (inside the dorm) -> at least 3 people each room.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Hey Callie, I really need some more Info about everyday life as a trainee. My parents aren't all that willing to let me audition because they are afraid of the environment. So what is it like? Is it safe and friendly? Please give in detail what it’s like.</b><br />
<b>Tell them SM will be the one to provide food, clothes, allowance, tuition fees, dorm, plane ticket to Korea (but not from Korea to your country) and more for you. it's just that they don't pay you. Tell them you train almost every day but you have a freedom to choose what schedule you are getting.</b><br />

6 am -> wake up<br />
7 -> go to Kent<br />
3:30 -> dismissal<br />
4 - 9 -> training sessions<br />
9:30 -> we have to be back at home and as much as possible sleep at 10 to
have an 8 hour sleep.</span><br />
<br />
(Since I’m a member of the school's pep squad team, i start training for SM at 5 every Thursday and Monday). (Callie)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Good luck everyone!<br />
