Are the songs we are singing in the audition round posted on the song list? I had sent it in that I was doing For Good from Wicked in Japanese, but didn't see it along with my other songs.

Was just curious, yeah. xP

Yeah, my audition song isn't on there - and I'll bet no one else's is either.
I don't think they mind repeated auditions songs since that's not really part of the "show" :P


Plus that way you can change your audition song without bothering them and stuff.
Tsuknino Con 2012 - Shizuo Hewajima, Rainbow Dash, Ciel Phantomhive
Anime Revolution 2012 - Lady Phantomhive, Prussia, Sailor Moon
Cos & Effect 2012 - Portgas D. Ace, Rainbow Dash, GLaDOS
Anime Evolution 2012 - Lady Phantomhive, Miku Hatsune

すみません。。。

If we make it past the first auditions, will it be absolutely mandatory to attend AR on Friday August 17th? 'Cause I have work on that day and I don't want to book it off for a "maybe" kind of thing...

This question may have been addressed before (I briefly searched for the answer but was too lazy to read this whole thread), but will we have the option to have headsets rather than mics like we did a couple years back? It would be fun to dance while I sing but it helps to know whether I'll have one or both hands free before I decide which song to do, etc.

Jeremy also mentioned possibly moving the auditions to Friday morning? I would personally prefer Thursday evening by a landslide and Friday might deter some people because mornings are just generally inconvenient, especially since most people aren't staying close to the convention center so they will be commuting on a week day, likely through rush hour (cosplay + crowded transit didn't work out for me very well in previous years.) Even though some out of town people can't make it Thursday, I think there are more people who wouldn't want to try to get out that early. Plus it gives us something to do on the badge pickup day. :D That's just my two cents.

I have another question eep, hehe.

If you get through the audition round, and then make into the actual competition, it's stated that you have 4 - 5 minutes to sing. I came across the perfect to sing for one of the rounds, but it's actually shorter than 4 minutes. Is this okay? I just want to make sure!

Thanks so much, very excited to hear everyone!

I think the 4-5 minutes is the maximum amount of time you have to sing, so I'm sure that's fine~


YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR CD OF INSTRUMENTALS WITH YOU TO GIVE TO THE IDOL COORDINATOR AT THE END OF THE AUDITIONS AFTER CONTESTANTS NAMES ARE ANNOUNCED. PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!!


If the songs are on a USB, is there any specific way you would prefer them to be named? Something like "round numbers/person singing/song title?"
And Thursday would be good for me, since I'm picking up my pass... therefore I'll miss school anyhow OTL
I'm a whisper. Hear me raaaawr.

Seems like Jeremy is extra busy as Programming Director and with AR fast approaching... My status as a judge is a bit iffy atm (due to scheduling conflicts), but I'll reply anyway, and Jeremy can correct me later if he has other plans in mind. Sorry for the late responses...

@ ZombieNrrdGrrl and reikohashi: in past years, we didn't really care what song you chose for the auditions. Go nuts!

@ JBLIU: Questions are fine; no need to apologize =) Apparently the schedule for the convention will be available soon, but I don't know when. Hopefully it won't be too late.

@ fufuluff: How long is your song? I think the judges would be ok with something just under 4 mins.

@ xwhisper: For now, name your songs like how Jeremy has named the contestant songs on the taken-songs thread here.

You're so informative! :D

To my understanding, any songs that are extremely inappropriate (e.g. racism) is not acceptable according to the rules and regulations. But aside from that, I think you can totally "go nuts" on it!

Yes, the convention schedule will be available soon! Thank you for waiting so patiently.
Please feel free to contact me at jason.h@animerevolution.ca for any inquiries.
Thank you for the constant support and I hope to see you at Anime Revolution 2013.

I have eyes. You have eyes. Lets be friends!

Boy do I feel terrible for being away from here for so long! I am so terribly sorry everyone!

I have good news though. The schedule is now finished and is going through last minute checks. Idol times will be posted within 2 days on here for you. I will be going through my emails and getting the new contestants' information added as well. Sorry for the delay! The schedule took a LONG time to do but we're golden now pretty much! lol.

There will be at least one 'celebrity' guest judge each of the three days. I will announce them soon.

Thanks everyone for hanging in there!

Hey everyone!

I have posted the Idol schedule on the first post of this thread!

Check it out for the Audition Times on Thursday, plus the round times and practices Friday through Sunday. Practices are NOT mandatory!! They are just there to give you some time to warm up if need be. Sorry Friday is so early, but that's the only time available in the Main Events room that day!

Yay, schedule!

Sorry Jeremy... Unless you are the powers that be (and I know you are in some respects, but not in this one :p), I can't make it back until Saturday night ): Really disappointed I won't be able to go for the entire thing, but if I can make it into the convention, I'll definitely watch on Sunday!
