If you haven't read part 1 yet, please check the project I remixed! 1. Before you post auditions: - make sure you use brighter colors to catch viewers' eyes quickly, since they'll stand out more. - take inspiration from professional companies who have posted audition projects. if heavy inspiration taken, credit them. - make sure the group name isn't too long. we like it short and sweet. more than 8-9 characters I wouldn't recommend, unless there is a clear and obvious short version of the name. 2. Post the auditions and add it to a bunch of Spop audition studios. Create an advertisement and post it often in the main Spop studio. Make sure it's not spam, wait for it to pass on to the next page before sending the comment again. You should also advertise on Spopper profiles but make sure to check if ads aren't allowed. You can also find profiles by going into recently posted auditions and finding people who have auditioned for those groups, to see who is looking to join a group at the moment. 3. Once the first audition comes in, take notes somewhere. You should keep notes based on the auditionee's execution of their vocal/rapper/all-rounder position. Make sure to mark their name and user before moving to do the next, and so on and so forth. Strengths and weaknesses are also important to note. (Also a good idea to reference the audition links you used to come to the conclusion.) 4. Now, to pick the group, there are a few things to keep in mind: - Prioritize pitch accuracy and beat/rhythm accuracy. - Most members should have good pitch accuracy, since even rappers need to sing, in order to have an equal line distribution. - Vocalists need pitch accuracy and control over their vocals. Rappers need to have good timing and delivery. - Expression of emotion is really important. Nobody wants someone to sound like they're disinterested when you sing "Magnetic" by ILLIT, for example. Especially for rappers who need to have more energy to make their rap snappy. However, this does not mean you want people who overdo this either. - Will the group be in harmony? Do their voices sound good together? Keep that in mind. - You should have a good ratio of rappers to vocalists. Generally, 3-4 member groups should have 1 rapper, and at least 1 vocalist that can pull their weight in rap. 5-6 member groups should have 2 rappers and at least 2 vocalists that can pull their weight in rap. 7-8 member groups should have 3 rappers and at least 3 vocalists that can pull their weight in rap. (Keep in mind that this can vary based on the lookalike group you choose, and the amount of rap they usually have in their songs. Also, all-rounders can count for both positions.) 5. Once you have considered all these things, and have a complete group lineup, post a project (or individual ones) introducing the members of the group. This runs under the assumption that the audition forms have questions on the auditionees' interests, likes, hobbies, fun facts, etc. (I personally recommend to have two forms: an audition form and bio form. eg: 6. Continue to advertise the members one by one as you post the projects! It's important to build hype over time. I personally recommend you comment things like: [group name] 1st member out in [number] minutes!!" in the main Spop studio, and so on and so forth. That's it! Ask me things in the questions/answer others' questions if you're able to! I'll try to post Pt 3 during the weekend :)
