Auditions, Fun or Fear?

One thing all singers have to deal with at one time or another is that dreaded word…AUDITIONS!   Auditions don’t have to be so fearful and threatening if you make a choice to think of them in a different way.  First of all decide this, “Today I get to perform!”  Auditions can be thought of as a performance and not an opportunity to be judged and rejected.  I suggest wearing clothes that compliment you and make you feel comfortable and confident.  When you arrive at your audition kindly introduce yourself to the audition attendants in a friendly way.  Be courteous and make them feel you will be no trouble at all.   Be prepared and ready to walk into your audition when called.    As you enter the room smile at the people who will be listening to you and wait for them to greet you.  Speak clearly and slowly when addressing them and always look directly in their direction.  Take some time to settle yourself and sing your best, always offering what you feel most confident in singing.  When you leave, thank them for their time and walk out confidently with your head held high no matter how you feel you performed.  You cannot control whether or not they liked you or will hire you but you can control what you do and how you address them!!   Auditioning can be fun with the right attitude!  Remember, you get to perform!!  It’s what you love to do!!!   Drop us an email to get started on your lessons.  It will be one of the best investments you will ever make!
