During the audition I felt scared and like my performance was weak because it was my first audition that wasn’t done via video. I was happy with my singing audition because I tried however I know I could have done better if I pushed all of my nerves to the side. my dance audition although I tried I feel like I could have definitely put more energy into it and my acting audition went well however I messed up a line and I didn’t characterise well. To prepare for the auditions I learned my lines using the look cover speak method and asked my brother to test me on my lines and to prepare for my singing audition I learned the song and learned the vocals section by section while practicing over and over again until I was happy with it. If given the opportunity to re do the audition I would try harder in the dance audition and have a better singing audition by not having those nerves I had. I think the overall preparation and execution in the audition reflected my skills very well as it showed that I am a hard worker, confident and that no matter how many nerves I am feeling I always push through and perform as I am supposed to. During the audition, I felt very nervous however I felt that my performance was going well, and I was really enjoying the process. I was quite proud of my singing audition because I haven’t been able to sing in front of people without having an anxiety attack or without becoming speechless and my voice shaking although I know I could have done better it’s the best I’ve ever done in front of people so I am happy with it wether it was bad or not. When I was practicing my song the feedback I got from my peers was that I had a nice tone of voice, I had a nice vibrato and that I should sing the full song instead of singing half of it as that was my original plan.
In the future I would approach my audition by being less nervous and trying my hardest in every part of the audition. To handle my nerves and anxiety throughout the audition, I made sure to be fully prepared and to just let myself breathe and let myself know that everyone else has been in this position and that nobody is judging you as you’re all in the same boat at that moment in time.
In future auditions I would like to work on my confidence, my characterisation and trying my hardest.
