CASUT00 Audition Interviews

Hey everyone! Most of you just started school, how was it? Fun? Boring? Wishing it never happened? (sorry, I wrote this paragraph like three weeks ago >.<)

Well this weekend, some girls have much more than just school to worry about... The first round of in-studio CASUT00 auditions are happening this afternoon! 

It's actually kinda weird how all those girls look up to me. If I'm considered a "SERA00 expert", what are Maya and Fracken? Goddesses? Anyways, even though I may look experienced in front of the auditionees, it's surprising how unprofessional us C ranks still look against the As. -_-

The first gens are very important, as always. They're the ones who will have to work hard to decide whether CASUT00 will succeed or fail. They're the ones whose work will decide whether CASUT00 will have second gens. So the management really combs through the applications, and Miss Avery and the managers and Angel are there every step of the way. 

Five hundred girls arrive on scene; this is greatly reduced from the original number of around 20k by the written applications and preliminary auditions. 

There are three parts to the audition. Singing, dancing, and interviews. Once the management passed the rule that you could use "any" song for the audition, the J/C/K-pop started coming in. Many chose the jap songs that Sassan sang as b-sides for her singles. 

I'm actually really bored, so let's play a game ;)

THE CASUT00 INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE 

You are in a room in the Complex with many other applicants waiting to be interviewed, when your name is called. Walking up to the booths, you discover that Angel, an actual idol, is your interviewer, instead of a management staff manager. 

"Hi," she greets you. "Sit down and make yourself comfortable."

WHAT DO YOU DO?

1. Sit down and introduce yourself right away

2. Sit down and tell Angel how much you love her

3. Sit down and wait for her to say something

"Great," she smiles. "So your application has been picked out of thousands others and you've already passed the preliminaries."

You nod nervously. 

"Now you're able to tour the SERA00 Complex and meet some of the members. I'm sure you've seen some members walking around or in the practice rooms," she continues. "How do you feel right now?"

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

A. "Very good, thank you."

B. "I'm actually feeling quite nervous. After seeing so many other applicants, it's hard to keep up my head up and face the challenges ahead, as I know the chances are slim of getting in."

C. "I'm pretty confident, I think I have this down. I'm a really good singer, and my dancing isn't that bad. Consider me your junior soon!"

Angel rifles through your application papers, and you briefly see your own photo flash by. "I can see you already have some sort of musical background," she comments, "that's always good." She puts down the papers and clasps her hands together, looking at you. "Why...do you want to stand on the stage?" That's slightly unexpected! You were sure she was going to ask why you wanted to be in SERA00. 

WHAT IS YOUR REPLY?

1. "I love to entertain others, so to be able to stand on a stage and sing, dance, perform for an audience is a dream come true."

2. "The stage is a sacred place for performers. If I'm able to stand on that stage, I know I've already worked harder than 95% of all budding entertainers."

3. "Because SERA00 has such a loving fanbase, they're sure to love anyone standing on the stage, so it's a quick way to get famous and create a fanbase and to climb the ladder of fame effortlessly."

Angel nods at you. "Thank you very much for trying out and I wish you all the best luck."

-Congratulations! Your interview is over. Follow the instructions below to see whether you would have gotten in.-

WHAT'S THE SCORE?

For every 1 or B, give yourself 3 marks. 

For every 2 or A, give yourself 2 marks. 

For every 3 or C, give yourself 1 mark. 

DID YOU GET IN?

3-4 points

Your application was probably cut after your interview. You should think clearly before answering, and should reflect on the reason you want to join SERA00. 

5-6 points

Your answers were borderline. They were average, and many other applicants were on the same level as you. You were probably cut in the second review of applicants, as there is no room for mediocreness. 

7-8 points

Your performance was pretty good. But SERA00 wants the best. You'll have to see. If they have room left over you might move on. You are probably part of a waiting list. 

9 points

Bravo! Your answers were right on the mark. You're definitely going to be able to move on to the next round. Better start polishing your singing and dancing!

~THANKS FOR PLAYING~

Now that we've gotten past the interview stage, we can actually pick out the girls that exude star presence based on their physical and vocal performance. Yay! The part where the youngest member (me) is made to dance for three hours on end as an example for the auditionees to follow while Maya and Fracken can go around evaluating at their own pace \(-_-\) (/-_-)/. 

Please support SERA00! And CASUT00! Wait CASUT00 is non-existent for the time being o_O okay we'll just go with SERA00 ^_^
