Subject: [CLOSED] [Flexible Permanent Group] Paragon 27th July 2012, 15:14
/banner coming soon/
PARAGON a five members girl group who strive for excellence in covering various artists, genres and languages.
Main Vocalist: Lead Vocalist: taken Vocalist: Lead Rapper/Vocalist: taken Main Rapper:
*main rapper auditioned: please also submit a clip of your singing as well as there will be some songs in which you will sing too aka ballads
Requirements: ~ Decent microphones, pronounciation, pitch and tone. Make sure your microphones do not make weird noises such as air bubble, pops, cracks, etc. It's very hard to mix when the microphone makes such noises. Having a professional, studio microphones is definitely not require at all. Fluency in Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English, etc are not required. As long as you are able to singing in the language, it is okay. Self explanatory for pitch and tone. You don't have to be the greatest singer. As long as you are having fun and adding the emotion in your singing, than its all good. Remember it's to have fun. ~ On Time. We don't want to delay release because things are not getting done on time. I'm sure everyone wants to have releases after releases. If for any reason you will be on hiatus or unable to hand in your parts on time, inform the members. This way we can plan accordingly. I would hate to delay a release because of inactivity. ~ Audition Clips/Video: can be either acapella or with background music. It can NOT includes effects on your voice, original singer voice is louder than yours. If your audition clip is a collab, state which part is yours. Best to send in 3+ clips for your desired parts. ~ If you have any questions, please ask. Myself or Linda will address it promptly.

Your Name: Shiori YouTube account: xWingsToFlyx Position(s): Main Vocalist Harmonies/Adlibs?: yes ^^ Audio Mixing/Video Editing?: I can video edit well, but to be honest I don't really like doing it. I love audio mixing though, and I'm pretty proud of my audio mix abilities ^^ Actives 1-10: 1 being little to none while 10 is super active. Be realistic. 10, during Feb - May it's an 8.5 If we recommend a different position for you, will you be okay with it?: be truthful.No. (I'm sorry %(>~<)%)
Audition Clips/Video:
★ A MORE "FIERCE" AND "MATURE" SOUND
(harmonies, lots of adlibs) :: https://www.box.com/s/6e7d9d10a3fd3d943aaa // NU'EST - Action (spliced to show my part in the verse, and the ending--which is my highlight)
Note: I know I can do so much better than this on ballads. They're actually my specialty OTL. I'm sorry for handing in something sub par, but I've been on hiatus for a while and all my old covers are pretty bad. Getting brand new covers done in addition to keeping on top of lines for other collabs is a bit much, so I didn't get to spend as much time polishing these covers and I would have liked to. Ironically though, despite them being the ones I'm least satisfied with, I still believe these to be my strongest auditions :$
★ CUTESY, UPBEAT(My weakness. I'm not cute, and I hate being cute. Sexy fierceness ftw? -dies-)
Your Name: Shiori YouTube account: xWingsToFlyx Position(s): Main Vocalist Harmonies/Adlibs?: yes ^^ Audio Mixing/Video Editing?: both <3 Actives 1-10: 1 being little to none while 10 is super active. Be realistic. 10 most times, during the months of Feb - May it lowers to 8.5 If we recommend a different position for you, will you be okay with it?: be truthful. Sure. But I can't rap.
Was the 3+ audition clips a general must for everyone? Or only those who were sending in collabs as auditions?
We'd like it if you gave us 3+ links. That way we know if you can sing the varieties of songs. We'll be covering not only pop, but hip-hop/rap, ballads, electronica, rock, etc. So it's a must to hand in 3+ links XD Good luck :)

Okay I've updated my audition, and 95% sure that this is going to be the final edit I make to it.
I've added songs and switched stuff around to add more variety. I have changed some of the form information as well, so please take a look there too ><
The top two are collabs spliced to show only my parts, the ballads are both only one verse and one chorus long (about a minute each), and the Nanchatte Renai is only the rap bit and one chorus. So as you can see, with the exception of my full cover of IU's You and I, all my audition pieces are really short, and therefore I would also appreciate it if you listened to all of my auditions. (I'll take pity on you and allow you to just skim through You and I lol). Thanks <3
