When they played my dance track at 1.2x speed by mistake
I went to an in-person audition a while ago, and the staff member handling the audio accidentally played my dance track at 1.2x speed. π I froze for a split second, but then pure survival instinct kicked in, and I just powered through the choreo at lightning speed. Later, an older trainee told me I should have confidently stopped and said, "Excuse me, I think there's an issue with the audio speed, can we restart?" Instead, I looked like a glitching robot. Total rookie mistake!
Powering through a 1.2x speed mistake shows you have incredible core strength and muscle memory. The scouts probably saw your survival instinct as a huge sign of star quality rather than a rookie glitch!
