    Step 1
    Select the right song. The song should be one that is challenging, yet easy for you to perform infront of a group of people. The song should also fit the genre of the audition. For example, if it is a Broadway audition, a Broadway song should be sung. If it is an opera audition, a hip hop song will not be appropriate. In this case, you are doing a KPOP addition. Therefore you would need to either chose a kpop song or a different type of pop song.

    Step 2
    Add choreography and expression to your performance. Just a few hand motions or gestures along with facial expressions can make you stand out next to a person who just stands still and sings. Remember, you are there to wow the judges… and you need to give them a performance to remember. It doesn’t have to be your own routine. It’s probably better that way. You can do just as good by using a routine from a suitable music video. Remember, it is not the routine or the song that matters the most. It is the performance.

    Step 3
    Practice the performance singing with choreography as much as possible. Once the vocals and choreography are memorized, try to arrange at least one practice in front of an audience. Ask a few friends or family members to be your audience and or critics. A vocal coach who can give advice for any necessary improvements is ideal. Many people use Singorama to help improve thier chances at a Kpop audition.

    Step 4
    Choose the right outfit. The clothes should also match the genre of music or the event for which the singer is auditioning. They should be stylish, comfortable and fit well. Also, wear stylish comfortable shoes. For women, jewelry and other accessories are a plus. For men, try to wear something dapper. the pants around your ankles are on the way out. Look at CN Blue for example. They look dapper.

    Step 5
    Prepare a bio card and resume to give the people holding the audition. The bio card should be 5 x 7″, and have your photo, plus your age, height, eye color hair color and dress or pants size listed at the bottom. You can google this and find some examples. This is Key to have the judges remember you. You need this in addition to the written application that companies like JYP Entertainment or SM Entertainment will have you fill out.

    Step 6
    Have fun! Don’t stress yourself too much over the audition. It is not the end of the world if you don’t make it that time. It justmeans that you need to practice more.

    Tip: Just because you think that you are a good singer does not mean that you are a good singer. Just because your friends tell you that you are a good singer, it does not mean that you are. They may not want to hurt your feeling s with the truth. If you are serious about a singing career you need to spend some money. How much does a doctor spend on medical school? A lawyer on law school? You should be no different. You MUST find a vocal coach to help you.

    Your voice box is a set of 2 muscles that relax and tighten to produce sounds when air is pased in between them. Just like any muscle, they need to be excercised in order to become in shape. Anyone can excercise… and everyone can learn to sing. It just takes the right coach. Programs such as Singorama are there to help guide you sing on pithc and on key consistently. If you are serious about success… you MUST look into this program. Consider it an investment in your future.

    ^ you can always learn :)
    btw to those worried about their weight..You don’t have to worry if you have the talent. They should still accept you and when you go into training that is meant to prepare you physically and mentally.. So don’t let your worries stop you from trying out. Just my personal opinion. & thanks firemutt^^

    I figure you might also have to be Asian or at least part Asian in order for them to consider you a bit more seriously. 8< However, I suppose that just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it won't ever happen at all!
