Auditions!!!! Auditions can be hectic, I've talked about this topic a tad bit before, but now I'm going to go in depth!
Auditions are a very crazy, scary, and hectic time of the school year for band students and even choir students! Everyone is practicing more than they should, they are going insane!, ok maybe that's just me, but here are tips for when auditions become out of hand.
Practice! Practicing is important for preparation and improvement, but do not over do it, you can do more bad than good, especially my brass players out there. Just take breaks and run through scales and audition pieces with out your instrument and when you are ready, practice for an hour and a half tops, and then repeat this every day. It helps!
Preparation! A pig part of preparation is practice but its also a mental thing too. When coming close to auditions your focus needs to be stellar, think about nothing else, because the only thing between you and 1st chair is your thoughts, do not let it get to you!
Pre-Audition! These are my tips as you are about to enter your audition! First of all remember that there is absolutely nothing to worry about, you've got this! Do not think about your competition, none of that matters at all. Breath, just breath as much as you can, you need that good air support, keep your lungs refreshed, most important of all keep your head up high and act like you are about to rock that audition, your confidence should be stunning.
I hope my tips have helped you! Feel free to comment what you think!
