HINTS & TIPS
Auditions are never as scary as you think they are going to be! But you can do things to make them slightly easier!
- Choose a song (NOT one from “Oklahoma”!) that you really enjoy and know it well.
- Rehearse the song with an accompanist or backing track. (There will be an accompanist at the auditions but you can use a backing track if you prefer)
- Sing it in several different places before the audition day.
- Sing it to some other people before the day.
- Wear comfortable clothes that you think you look good in.
- Come into the audition with high energy ready to try any thing new. (Peter will almost certainly ask you to do something different from what you offer. It will not necessarily be better than you did, just different, to see if you can take direction.)
- Show the Panel your strengths and enjoy showing them. WE WANT YOU TO BE GOOD!!! It’s NOT a competition. We’re NOT judging you! It is NOT “X factor” or “Australia’s Got Talent”!!! We are looking for members of a team who want to put on a show!
- LISTEN… We are trying to see your strengths and so what we ask you to do will help. Peter wants you to have learned something before the audition is over.
- Enjoy! Enjoy!! ENJOY!!!
