JYP Auditions 2009

Posted in Auditions, NYC, Seoul with tags on February 11, 2009 by illdielaughing

JYP is holding auditions yet again.

Once again, they do everything in Korean which makes little sense to me as they’re holding auditions in the United States. Why don’t they do it in English and Korean? Are they showing off to Koreans that they can have auditions in the United States? Are they limiting applicants to those only of Korean-American descent and/or to those  that can speak Korean? I’m sure they have an excellent reason for that. 

Los Angeles – March 7th 
9am to 3pm
2975Wilshire Blvd. 5th floor 

New York – March 14th
10am to 6pm
JYP USA Center
110th east 31st  

jype.com/audition.town for more information. 

Is anyone here auditioning?

Avex World Audition

Posted in Auditions, Tokyo with tags on September 11, 2008 by illdielaughing

For those of you who are more into Japanese entertainment, Avex, one of the biggest record companies in Japan which harbors artists such as, Koda Kumi, DBSK and countless others, is having world auditions.

You can apply to be a singer, actor, model, dance team or composer. 

Singers must be unmarried and 7 to 24, and able to sing in Japanese. (I don’t know if you have to be fluent however).
Dancers must audition with a team with 10 or less members. 

Nationality doesn’t matter, if you’re under 20 you need permission from your parent. 

The Auditioning process ends November 28, 2008. 

You can mail in or go to Japan (but just mail in guys if you don’t live in Tokyo)

There are four rounds for this audition, the final round being held at the Avex Offices in Tokyo.

There are also US auditions

San Francisco, CA – October 25th and 26th
Los Angeles, CA – November 8th and 9th
New York, NY – November 15th and 16th

So you have YG in NY, SM all over America and Avex reaching out to the world. Who’s ready to be a star?

 

ALL DETAILS ARE HERE! And if you live in the US and want to go to one of the auditions above go HERE.

Actually just go to both links!

SM Global Auditions 2008

Posted in Auditions, World, ^_^ with tags , on August 6, 2008 by illdielaughing

They’re BAAAAaaaaaack. Are you ready to join the SM Family?

I will be going to the New York Auditions to document the plight of wanna be kpop singers. (Don’t worry, this girl is not auditioning, that would be AAAAWWWWKWAAARRRDDDD). But, me taking pictures and video should be fun. Hopefully the auditions this year will be held in a better place than that auto place like last year. We’ll see.

Anyone can try out but you have to be Asian. SM is not one of those companies that doesn’t care. I imagine that half-Asians are also welcome but I’m sure they prefer the Daniel Henney’s more than the Amerie’s. EDIT: You don’t have to be Asian to try out, but I’m sure being Asian doesn’t hurt your chances seeing as SM says you have to be Asian on their website. 

I’ll post more information as it becomes available. Anyone trying out this year?? Drop a comment if you are. And if your going to audition in New York I wanna meet you! I want to interview people for a possible documentary. Below are the cities and dates.

9/19      Hawaii 
9/21      Los Angeles              
9/26      Washington D.C.    
9/26      Orange County (CA) 
9/28      New York  
9/28      San Francisco 
10/18     Toronto         
10/25     Vancouver
