When ever I hold auditions I look for these things

1!. Does their appearance fit the need!.

2!. Can they play up to the standards of you and can they play the specific genre you are looking for

3!. How is their attitude fitWww@QuestionHome@Com

Well i would ask them to play something in an audition and look for ENTHUSIASM!!!!!! Without enthusiasm i can guarantee you the person will not be a success!. also look for obviously their talent, and then try to look for confidence in front of an audience!. Confidence and stage presence can always be improved, but it is an added plus to have it already!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Invite them over to jam you will know if they are a fit within 30 minutes; you could call it a sixth senseWww@QuestionHome@Com
