[ WARNING : this will be a very long long long LONG paragraph. Thank you. ]
First of all, I apply for my audition by sending them an email. For SM Global audition there are actually three ways (back then) to register. First, their official website. Second, through Everysing (an SM app). And then third, sending them email.
When I send them my email I wrote basic information, like :
- Name / Gender
- Audition place
- Birth date
- Audition category
- Contact information (phone number / active email)
When I got my confirmation email, then I know what time and where the audition is going to be held. Once I arrived at the location of the audition, I waited in line to register again before I can really participate in the audition. Oh and whoever accompany you to that audition place and he/she is not joining the audition, have to wait at the lobby. Don't worry, the lobby will be filled with other people who are waiting too.
Then, I have to wait for a really really really long time. I'm not kidding. I waited for at least 2 hours before they call me. And in that 2 hours, you'll get your audition number. But remember! Once you get your audition number, you can't leave the waiting room even if you really have to wee-wee (you get what I mean right?)
When it's time for my audition, they called 20 people at once to go to a different floor (a.k.a the audition floor). And let me tell you, every single person in that 20 people, every single one of them even me. We felt like out heart is going to explode. And when I arrived at the floor, the situation didn't help either. It was really quite and it was full with people looking nervous and about to pass out. And when and ONLY when you get into the audition room (room not floor) it was a whole new world #LetsSingAWholeNewWorldTogether
There were only 2 judges. One sitting on the chair looking at you like an eagle looking at its prey, and the other one control the video cam to record you for their documentary files.
And when I finally got out of that room, my soul.. its just.. I can't even explain it with word. It was beyond relief. And then I live happily ever after #what?
And now, I want to share some tips if you want to do an audition. And I think it can be use for any kind of audition. There are lots of tips after this.. so be prepared for a really long paragraph..
A. Before Audition
- Decide as quickly as you can what you're going to audition. The faster you decide the faster you can start practising (ability and mentally).
- Ask opinion from people around you (teacher, friend, families) on your ability so you can fix when there is/are something to fix.
- Keep you health in mind! Do not, and I repeat DO NOT do something that will make you health turn bad. Example :
- Eat something oily or dry or something like that is a no no. It's bad for your throat and can make you sick. Eat vegetable or something that you steam or something that is not oily.
- Do not practice to much. Either dancing, singing, modelling, composing, acting, etc. Too much practice could lead to lack of rest. Make sure you have enough rest. You don't want to be sick during your audition right?
- Make sure to do some warming up before you dance / sing / modelling. Let's stretch those muscles before we start.
- Prepare the stuff you're going to bring. And make sure you don't bring too much. You're going to audition not some picnic.
- Wake up early! Don't sleep late and set your alarm boys and girls. Let's start the day early!
- Do Not miss breakfast! Just don't.
- Check your stuff again
- Must go at least 2 hour before your audition time. Specially if you're in a city like Jakarta. Traffic jam everywhere #YEYnot
- Bring your portable charger, drink, and some meal (maybe like bread?). Because if you have to wait as long as I was or maybe even longer, you'll want something to drink, something to eat, and something to charge your phone.
- Bring pen to fill your re-registration form.
- Go to the toilet before you got your audition number!
- Going there alone? Me too. Just get to know someone there. Maybe like the person sitting next to you?
- Be confident and give it your all! Just think of it as your last chance. You don't want to feel regrets when you leave that room.
And those are it! Finally..
So that was the summary of my audition experience. If you want to ask for more detail, you can ask it here, or at my YouTube channel, or at my social media
I'll also make this in video and post it on my YouTube channel. If you want to you can check it out :
