Audition Readiness Test

Would You Pass a K-pop Trainee Audition?

Judged the way a K-pop casting team listens: stable pitch first, a vocal colour of your own, clean diction, and a first line that lands on the beat.

What this panel listens for

  • Pitch that stays stable for the whole clip, especially on sustained notes.
  • A distinctive, clean vocal colour that would still be recognisable in a group mix.
  • Clear diction with even vowel length: the message of the line, not just the high notes.
  • The first ten seconds: steady breath and a first line that lands on the beat.
  • Expression that changes between intro, highlight and ending, without over-acting.

Online first round: a self-introduction plus one 60–90 second performance clip, a cappella or over a very quiet track. Filtered or pitch-corrected video is disqualified. Most agencies recruit roughly ages 10–20.

What to sing

One Korean mid-tempo or ballad, sung straight with a single highlight note you can land every time. No stacked ad-libs at the start. Examples: Through the Night (IU), Fine (Taeyeon), Me After You (Paul Kim), Still With You (Jungkook).

Why singers use the Audition Readiness Test

Judged like the real panel

Each audition has its own profile: what the casting team or coaches actually listen for, their hard bars, and the phrases they use.

One honest scale

Scores use the same seven-axis rubric as Rate My Singing, so your numbers mean the same thing across every test on the site.

Free, private, repeatable

No signup. Record as many takes as you like, fix the two things that matter, and watch your readiness climb.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sing in Korean?

Not for this test. Real agency auditions usually expect at least one Korean song, and some ask for a song from their own catalogue, so prepare one in Korean if you can.

What score do K-pop agencies look for?

Agencies do not publish scores. On this test "audition-ready" means stable pitch above the hard bar, clean timing, and a readiness score in the low 80s or higher, which corresponds to trained-singer level on the shared rubric.

What should I record?

30 to 60 seconds of the part of a song that shows you best, a cappella or with a quiet backing track, in a quiet room with the phone about 30 cm from your mouth. Each page suggests what to sing.

Does my age change the verdict?

If you tell us your age band, the judge compares you with what a voice that age can do, and younger singers get a small allowance on the readiness bar. The Voice Kids page is judged on a child's scale by default.
