Group auditions made it more nerve racking because it feels like more pressure. Also because the judges don't say or communicate much gave me a feeling of uncertainty.
What i thought of the auditions It was nerve racking, in other audition experiences, you find out on the spot if you got through to the next round or not, i wasn't exactly sure how these auditions worked. after the process is over they just usher you out and let the next group in. Some danced their own choreo (which was cool to see) while others danced the choreo of a group. many people sang in korean who i could tell didn't speak korean and simply memorized the sounds while some actually knew korean and sung in korean, and then some danced. They have you start once the person before you finishes. they have you stand on a line and audition 5 at a time. We walk in and theres a big camera facing people as they wait as well as the table for the judge (the two girls who were snapping pictures which ended up being posted to JYP's social media, which is what gave me the impression they were interns). anyways, when they were ready, they called us up in groups and then explained to us the proceedure, stand on the line, sing/ dance when ready, have music ready etc. I feel like they weren't serious about this opportunity and only saw it as a way to be close to their idols.
I could tell some were just fans of kpop which in a way bothered me. In the waiting room it was pretty diverse. This is to give the judges a break but also cut the volume of people faster since they just call you in and then have you leave without giving any results. I know sometimes in american idol auditions to get through people faster, they just have a random employed staff member hold the spot and conduct auditions while real judges take breaks. I don't know if they were just interns, employees, or just place holders while the judges returned. But there were two young ladies who were walking around snapping pictures and they ended up being the ones who were in charge of holding the auditions. When i got there they said they were waiting for the judges to come back from lunch since i got there around lunch time. I wasn't sure who they were but there was an older man who i think might have been an employee of JYP or something but didn't end up judging us. Then there were some older people who kept walking in and out. There were several people who were staff and wore stickers that said staff. Once you hand in your application they give you a number and tell you to sit in the waiting area. anyways we get there and they have you sign in or fill out applications. The audition was held in this room of a build corporate type building. I noticed there were some people outside the building area who had auditioned already and were leaving. First I got there and there was hardly anyone there. Anyways I guess Ill talk about my experience and my opinions. (i'll touch on this later on) Anyways, I noticed that on the site, they suggested people come by their number but I just went at a time which was convenient for me so i guess it didn't really matter too much. I couldn't tell if it was because they weren't actual employees of the company or if it was because they were bored. also the people holding the auditions didn't seem to care. The only difference was the volume of people. I have been to several different types of auditions such as American Idol and the X factor and the experience I had here was no different. But i decided to audition anyways to give it a try. I am 24 so pretty old in terms of what they usually expect from their auditioners from what i heard. So i am fairly new to Kpop as of this year and saw that JYP was holding auditions near me in LA.
