I've posted tons of questions before but more just keep coming up and I really want to try. Even if I'm rejected, it means I'll at least have put in my best, right? Live life with no regrets :D

1. I'm 14, about to turn 15 in just 5 months. Too young?

2. Requirements to audition? (Age, nationality, what kinds of talents do they look for...? I want to try out with singing, but does 8 years of piano experience and just a few months of guitar experience look good?)

3. I'm Korean. Does that mean I have to sing in both Korean AND English for my audition demo tape/CD/video?

4. What kind of file does the demo thing need to be? (Tape, CD, video, etc.)

5. Can everything be sent via email or does it HAVE to be sent through mail/post office?

6. How do you record a demo file? I tried with the webcam microphone on my brother's laptop, (because mine doesn't have one,) and it sounded terrible.

Thanks:)

I heard that the perfect body ratio is 0.8.

My face is 7 inches and my body is 61 inches.

Does that mean I have a 0.8 or 0.7 ratio?

Plus, a SNSD trainer said that the perfect leg ratio is 5:3:2 (50 cm at the top of the thigh, 30 cm at the thickest part of the calf, and 20 cm at the ankle.) I'm 52 cm, 34 cm, and 20 cm. Is that close?

IDK about the hip measurements. All I know is that my hips are pretty wide. (Not TOO wide but u get the picture.) I guess this means I'm curvy?

I used to be one of those no-figure girls that were ridiculously thin until I quit ice skating and I went from thin to curvy...I think.

LOL don't ask why I'm asking this. It's a thing I have to do for a biology project. (Taking statistics, including myself.)

I can email you, just answer leaving your email address and i'll send you an audio sample. when i reply, can you PLEASE be completely honest? i mean brutally honest. i can't stand any sugar coating cuz it won't do me good anyhow.

btw, no i'm not a stalker. i'm being serious. i won't sell out ur email address for $$$ or stuff hahaha

thanks!!!

I'm trying to audition for this big label company in Asia but I'm SOOOOO dang shy I can't sing in front of my family without chickening out.

How do I get over it?

Should I post videos of my singing on YouTube to get started?

And I'm really insecure of my looks too. I don't want any trolls or haters commenting on looks, so...

WHAT TO DO?

And if it's such a big problem should I even be considering auditioning? my parents, (who are Asian and CRAZY-critical,) said i had potential, and my friends say I'm good...

Ugh, the insecurities of life!!!

Thanks:)

Okay, i posted a few questions before but i found a lot of answers online.

i really wanna audition for YG Entertainment in South Korea. i'm really shy, but i guess i can get over that with some performing experience. but these are the questions that still aren't answered by updated blog posts or things on the official YG Family website...especially cuz it's all in korean and i don't wanna take the time to read all of it now.

1. when sending in your demo tape, do we need to sing a Korean song or can we sing in English? I'm sort of fluent in Korean but not enough to read it super fast like I can with English. Sure, i can speak it with others and understand it perfectly fine, but still. i can't sing in it or read it very well.

2. exactly HOW does the trainee process go? i don't have high hopes for making it in, but if i do...

3. i heard not every trainee makes it through the whole training process. but if u have the motivation and, let's say, stamina or endurance ability, can you go all the way and debut?

4. does not being able to read Korean very well count against you?

5. exactly how does the application process go?

thanks:)

I quit ice skating a while back and my body still looks similar. But now I'm starting to see changes (of course I would; it's been like a year since I last exercised) but because I'm Asian and only eat Asian food for the majority of the time, I didn't gain too much weight.

I'm not really concerned about how I look in the mirror. I just want to feel comfortable with my body again. I have a huge stomach bulge (although it doesn't show when I wear my normal clothes,) and everything I eat goes to my inner upper thighs or my stomach. My arms aren't toned, but they're not fat, although I'd like for them to be toned.

Does yoga help? I want to start running too, but I can't seem to make the time for it around all my homework for school:P

I'm 14, 9th grader, about 5'1" and about 51 kilograms. How can I get back down to 48 without any eating disorders? I had a friend who wanted to lose fat and went overboard; she was anorexic and was out of school for like a year, recovering.

my legs are long, yeah, but they're, like, bowed inward weirdly. it makes my calf muscles look like they're sticking out to the side. (EWWW.) but at least they're slim. my thighs are pretty fat...from what i can tell about my body. any idea how to fix the bowed and the fat problem?

I know Halloween is a pretty far away, but i like preparing beforehand:)

So my friends and i wanna go as M&Ms (Victoria's Secret PINK yoga sweatpants w/ a solid different colored tank with the M drawn on in chalk,) but i don't have any chalk and all my tanks and camis are striped. (makes me look slimmer:))

any suggestions? pictures & websites might help.

Oh, and ANYTHING besides something that looks like a streetwalker, i'm perfectly fine with it

thank u:)))

My homecoming dance is in next week on saturday. i need help finding a cute dress around debshops.com, JCPenney's, Dillard's, etc. oh, but the main emergency is: i can't find what to do with my hair. it's layered, shoulder-length, with (in my opinion) perfect sidebangs. any suggestions? links to online tutorials & pictures would help.

oh, and another emergency: my parents won't let me wear makeup. do u think they'll make an exception for this night? i heard at my school, homecoming is better than prom so...i'm super psyched:)

thanks!

I'm going into freshman year and it's picture day immediately:/

any helpful tips on how to look...at least decent?

hair, clothes, etc.

***NO MAKEUP*** i don't wear makeup cuz i feel pretty comfortable with who i am now. i don't feel the need to cake a whole bunch of product on my face to make myself feel better about how i look.

Age: 13

Weight: 103lbs, 45-47kgs

Height: 5'1"

Grade: going into 9th

Please answer! I'm worried about my weight, not because of how i look in the mirror, but because I'm HUGE eater. I love fatty foods, (but i eat a lot of fruits and vegetables too,) but I'm still not really sure. sometimes my parents aren't so supportive of me when i say I'm worried, and if i ask my friends, i know they'll all just say that I'm skinny. PLEASE HELP!!!
