Title is generalizing, what I really mean is I think many, maybe even most companies don’t teach trainees how to sing. I promise this isn’t a hate thread, I just wanted to share an epiphany I had.
I was doing a shallow deep dive on the Girlset members to get to know them a little before their thing happens. I learned they’re pretty solid singers, better than most groups, I though to myself JYP must have just had a good stock of talent to choose from and I moved on — I moved on to their audition clips… My people, I know this is harsh, but I struggle to find words to adequately express what terrible singers they were. I admit Camila was pretty decent, but Savanna and Kendal in particular???
Savanna sounded like she hasn’t sung a day in her life, and I am not exaggerating it sounds like the first time in her life ever opening her mouth to sing is at this damn audition. Kendall? Hopeless. I would have told you this kid has no future, she’s clearly tone deaf!
So I sit there asking my self how the girls in these auditions are who they are today. How do you go from horrible to good, and from hopeless to solid in two years? Wtf is anyone else doing? That’s when I realized that most just aren’t trying, and after some more thinking I realized that trying is actually stupid because why would you spend tens of thousands of dollars on singing lessons for trainees that you don’t even know will be successful when a one time couple of hundred dollar software purchase will make your idols sound flawless to 90% of your target audience? As a CEO why wouldn’t you just tell yourself you’ll get them lessons after they make it big?
