Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
sing loud, don't be a timid singer who sounds like shes reciting the national anthem

dont try to be confident, KNOW your confident, just feel that you are above all these suckers that are competing against you, and just give it your all!.

and if you dont get the audition!? hey its all right, at least you can say you tried your best! and theres plenty of auditions out there in the world

just keep that in mind, and just go with it! nothing to lose, all to gain!
most importantly, just have fun! your singing arent you!?! you must LOVE singing then, so just enjoy itWww@QuestionHome@Com

besides having the natural talent required for this process, you have to learn to ground yourself!. "grounding yourself" is a technique i was taught as an actor for auditions!. it not only gives you, the artist, a small moment, to center yourself, clear your mind and prepare for the audition, but it gives your auditioners a chance to see you turn your presence on!.

grounding yourself is essentially menntally seeing your feet root into the ground below you!. this makes you more stable physically, allows you to start from neutral, and gives you somthing to focus on besides being scared as **** that you're auditioning!. you make your walk; generally, if you're auditioning on a stage, to a spike mark generally down center!. you get there, look up to your audience (this shows confidence in yourself and your abilities BUT you're also giving the judges an opportunity to finish writing notes on the person who went before you - wait until every eyeball is on you! that's what you're there to do), take a breathe, and then start the audition!. keep in mind this should only take a few seconds in toto (unless you're waiting on a judge), so you have to practice it a few times!. but it really cleans up your audition, and makes a great impression for the judges!. break a leg!Www@QuestionHome@Com

SMILE!

confidence confidence confidence
when you give your slate (my name is !.!.!. and i will be performing!.!.!. ect) make them like you by smiling, making eye contact, and being yourself!. don't overdo it too much though!.

wear something professional that accents your best features and hides your worst!. Do not wear jeans and a tee shirt, wear something that an adult would think looks nice on you and would want to hire you for!.

stage presence is something that you cannot fake
it is a person truly enjoying what they are doing and having fun while they are performing, it just shows through, i dont really know how!.
so basically, do not let nerves get the best of you, enjoy your song, move a little (dont just stand there and be boring!.) Make them think, "wow this person seems really fun and i would love to work with them in the future!."

break a leg i hope you make itWww@QuestionHome@Com
