Singing Auditions can be scary.

Yes, having to sing to a panel of judges or a select group of audience can cause us to panic or experience performance anxiety.

Especially if we were auditioning for a place in a singing contest or competition, or for a plush role in a musical or concert!

You may even have experienced blacking out during an audition, forgetting lyrics or even forgetting the song that you had to sing.

I've coached many students who have experienced all these symptoms and more.

That is also why I have gathered many useful tips to help you ACE your singing auditions and come out TOPS!!

Here they are, for your personal benefit:

Audition Tip #1: Be Extremely Well-Prepared!

Yes, I know I've said this before, but it certainly is worth saying it over and over again.

Be EXTREMELY well-prepared.

This means that you have to practice your audition song over and over again, until you are really familiar with it, and know exactly how you are going to sing at every part of your song!

You should also mark out exactly what to do at each part of the song, especially for certain vocal expressions that you may wish to showcase.

Mark out the accents in the song, noting which words need to be sung stronger for effect.

Mark out the breathing points in your song phrases, making sure you know exactly where to breathe.

In other words, leave NOTHING to chance!

Because if you miss out on any preparation at all, the stagefright and performance anxiety will seep in from that loophole and affect your entire performance during your singing auditions!

So be thorough when you practice, and do your homework well for every song you sing!
