Yuck! Today was a bad audition day! It was a Disney Singing Audition and I was #67. I think some leading factors in having a crappy audition today were: #1 Lack of sleep. #2 Knowing no one in the holding room and having no one to talk to. #3 Having no place to really warm up full on.
By the time I went in the room I had been listening to girls around me talk about all the tours or other cruises they had just come off. I attempt to keep in my own little space when I'm entarougeless but the headphones have to come off at some point in order to hear what's going on. Hearing how other girls have done all this work recently I find extremely intimidating being that I am so out of practice. On the line outside the audition room my heart started pounding. I could hear beautiful sounds coming through the door and I didn't want to be the joke of the group! I practiced all the breathing/calming relaxation exercies I knew but nothing helped. When your heart is pounding through your chest, even long held out breaths turn shaky! That's exactly how my song went! Shaky! I sang 16 bars from the song Dear Friend from the show She Loves Me. It is a very light/legit song....nonetheless I put absolutely NO power behind it. I couldn't catch my breath and support myself. My lower notes came out crackily and my high notes came out wobbly. My jaw shook heavily as I sang and I was so disgusted with what was coming out of my mouth I couldn't even ACT the damn song!
Bad Audition Day.
