Can you audition for KPOP with no experience?

Start voice and dance training at an early age. You can audition as early as 12 years old at many Kpop auditions. Therefore it is recommended to get a full two years of experience in dancing and voice training before auditioning. That means at the earliest you should be training at age 10.

What are kpop audition judges looking for?

Depending on which field the auditionee wants to try out for, they are encouraged to prepare different things such as a song to sing, a dance, or even a scene to perform for an acting audition. During the audition, the judges look for both talent and personality, as well as marketability.

When is my child old enough to take singing lessons?

So if a parent asks me today about vocal instruction for a child, I usually invite them round for an assessment. If the child is focused enough to concentrate for half an hour, they are usually old enough for singing lessons as well. For most, this is the case when they are in the first years of primary school, but again: Every child is different.

Do I need vocal training if I love singing?

Yes, absolutely. However, there is of course a difference between “loving to sing” and “training your voice”. Many people love to sing, but they don’t necessarily need (or want) vocal training. Singing offers a great chance though to teach children musicianship, and that’s where I see its main value.

Will singing lessons with a good teacher make me better at singing?

Yes, lessons with a good teacher will make you better at singing. Lessons will improve a “good” voice used improperly. Unfortunately, lessons can never make up for a “bad” voice no matter how well it is used. But even a “bad” voiced singer who uses the voice well and has something to say artistically may still have some kind of a career.

What is the value of singing in schools?

Singing offers a great chance though to teach children musicianship, and that’s where I see its main value. Young voices should, in my opinion, be kept pretty natural: A 9-year-old is not a 25-year-old.
