How to Audition

by

Huge topic and it cannot be covered in one blog. Apparently, this person tried to cover it in a single video.

Okay, this is totally impossible to take a person through in a single audition. Through this blog, I have covered a couple of things to know and prep yourself for an audition but it does not happen over night. I do not want anything to seem like it can be fixed and prepped over night. Having the perfect audition takes a lot of practice - time and energy. You have to be diligent and you have to be patient with yourself. What seems like a great performance today will be a very weak performance for you two years from now because of your continued growth. Regarding talent alone, you have to always take classes and you must always be learning. If you want to be a singer, you have to take your voice lessons. It’s not like you take voice lessons for 10 years and then you don’t need another eye. How can you be the greatest judge of your own technique. Another opinion is always helpful; as long as it is a voice you trust, respect, and know only benefits you. The same goes with acting and dancing. There is always more to learn and better ways to improve your audition. Then, on top of all the classes, you have to learn and fully get a grasp your behavior throughout the audition process … man … attacking an audition is endless. Then, once you get a gig, you are still in a constant audition all the time because you are always being judged. With one bad move, you could easily be judged. This is a life where we are always auditioning because we never know where the next job may come from. How to audition cannot be covered in a single video or class because it is what performers must do on a regular basis. Auditioning is a way of life for a performer because every interaction could lead to great possibilities.
