I auditioned at Source Entertainment 3 weeks ago and still nothing, What is the approximate maximum time they should have to respond?
Waiting after an audition can be frustrating—but 3 weeks is still within a normal window, especially for entertainment companies.
Here’s how it usually works:
⏳ Typical response timelines
For companies like Source Music (often called Source Entertainment):
- 1–2 weeks → Fast responses (usually for very strong or urgent picks)
- 3–6 weeks → Most common range
- 6–8+ weeks → Still possible, especially if:
- They’re reviewing many applicants
- Multiple decision-makers are involved
- They’re planning future trainee batches
👉 Some applicants never receive a rejection email at all.
🧠 Why delays happen
- Large volume of auditions (hundreds or thousands)
- Internal evaluations and second reviews
- Waiting to compare candidates before deciding
- Scheduling for training slots or future projects
🚨 When to assume no response
- If you hear nothing after 6–8 weeks, it’s generally safe to assume: 👉 You were not selected this time
But that’s very normal in the industry.
📩 Should you follow up?
- If they provided an email or contact → you can send a polite follow-up after 4–5 weeks
- If not → better to wait and continue applying elsewhere
💡 Important mindset
- Not hearing back ≠ failure
- Entertainment auditions are extremely competitive, and even talented people get passed over for reasons like:
- Concept fit
- Timing
- Group balance
✅ Simple answer
- Normal max wait: about 4–6 weeks
- Absolute outer range: around 8 weeks
- You’re currently at 3 weeks → still completely normal
