I'll add some tips everyday for you guys cause I know people who have friends that are trainees already. So if you guys have any questions, just ask and I'll try my best to answer them.

Tips of the day:
Do NOT sing an SMTOWN song. The judges probably hear the songs all the time and know how it's supposed to sound. Another thing I heard is that if they are tired or in a bad mood and you start to sing an SM song, they will just say "next" when you first start.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE DOING: EVERYONE has to do the rhythm test. So everyone has to dance for 30 secs (even if you are singing). If you feel uncomfortable dancing, then just tap your foot or clap your hands, but if you want a better chance of getting in, dance.

NO MAKE-UP. Yes you heard me. NO MAKE-UP. SMTOWN wants people with innocent faces. Lip gloss is fine, but no eyeliner or anything.

Clothes: Try not to wear anything too fancy. Wear something that you would wear for school. So something that's clean and comfortable, but nothing to extreme (like for a ball or what you wear at home).

Be warned: If you mess up, the judges might laugh at you.

Auditioning:
-First you will be put into a group of 10 people and will be numbered
-Then you will go into a room where the judges will be
-I think singers and actors go first
-You will be looking at the camera and doing what your supposed to do for 30 secs. However if they like you, they might extend that time or ask you to sing another song
-I think dancers go after
-Dancers leave and rhythm test starts
-30 secs of dancing or whatever

A suggestion when singing to the camera:
Do NOT use hand gestures because the judges get annoyed by it.
Ooh thanks for these suggestions o_o I may have to bookmark this...so non-SMTown songs...meaning, if I decided to sing some J-pop song, they won't mind right? (Still not sure if I'm going to participate, but I want as much info as possible before I make a decision )
