If your dream is to become a successful Korean pop music artist, then it is important to hone your skills through rigorous training. Enrolling in voice and dance training can help you become a better singer and dancer, and prepare you for the competitive world of K-pop. It is recommended that you gain at least two years of experience in singing and dancing before auditioning. During this time, you can improve your vocal range, pitch, tone, and breathing techniques, as well as your dance moves, coordination, and rhythm. This will increase your chances of standing out and impressing the judges during the audition. Additionally, if you are below 14 years old, you must have a legal guardian accompany you to your auditions. This is to ensure your safety and well-being, and to help you navigate any legal or logistical requirements that may arise.
