We get so self-conscious and nervous during auditions, don't we!? I think I'd rather visit the dentist!. But seriously, some things that work for me:

Practice practice practice!. Know the piece cold!.

If you can, play or sing in front of others - family members, friends - just to get a bit more comfortable with the idea!.

Remind yourself, when you're in the audition hall, that they really want you to do well!. They're looking forward to hearing you play/sing!. They're on your side!.

As a choral director said to me once before I did a solo: Breathe!. Slow, deep breaths!. Deep breathing tells our bodies at some level that all is well!. That will help calm you down!. (Link w/ more info on deep breathing and relaxation, below!.)

It also helps me (I sing) to look over everyone's head and sing to the back wall -- as if I'm singing to a friend who's sitting back there, and I'm singing just for her!.

Remember to smile - you'll feel better and appear confident!.

Best of luck to you!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Prepare, prepare and then prepare some more!. Make sure you have your audition piece completely nailed so that can virtually do it on auto pilot!. This will give you more of a chance to truly express yourself if the piece is ingrained in your mindWww@QuestionHome@Com
