Auditions?

I just survived an audition last week, one that I felt was fairly important. It was quite a challenge doing the audition. Having been working with my new teacher on a radical change of technique, it was the first test of what I have learnt under a stressful circumstance. I think I mostly survived.

I had a moment where I lost my words, but on the rest I feel I survived with flying colours. My technique did not fall over and the sound came out easily. My voice filled the hall (quite a large one) without any effort. Well, not quite, the effort I put out was all mental. Focusing on singing how I am learning to, rather than having the old muddy sound that I used to have.

I survived the first test. I look forward to the future tests, knowing that the changes to my voice are making a big difference, and that in the future I will have a voice I can rely on, that is more like what the people that sit behind the desk making casting choices are looking for...
