One Audition at A Time
I don’t like to put all my eggs in one basket, however, it is definitely a challenge when attending each audition one at a time. I suppose it could become a blur, but then again, I do a lot of research and rehearsing for each audition … especially if I am coming to sing or perform a monologue. For instance, this week there was an audition for Rosalia for “West Side Story” and they wanted people to sing her solo in “America.”
Doing that song alone, I practice my vocal technique for that particular song, acting choices, emotional journey, body movements, and put it together to present an honest human being who can only sing because that is the best way she can express herself. It may sound ridiculous to some people to go into such depth, but I grow so much more as an artist every time I delve into a song like that. No, I don’t HAVE to go into each audition with such depth, but the more I fall in love with what I do, the more natural it is for me to go into such depths before each audition. With all the prep, it is really hard not to get my hopes up for each show. Does this make a difference in the outcome of each audition. Yes. It means I am always putting my best foot forward and constantly in a state of artistic growth.
