To do exceptionally well in singing auditions, it’s crucial to understand the preferences and tastes of the audition panel or judges. Take time to explore their past choices, preferences, and artistic interests, if you can. This way, you can adjust your performance to match their expectations. With this information, you can shape your performance to align with what they prefer. This creates a performance that blends perfectly with what they’re looking for.
How do you get selected for singing auditions?
Whether or not you’ve got a good chance of being selected for a singing audition depends on what you’re auditioning for; the type of person who would get chosen to sing for the judges on The Voice may not be the type of person who would get chosen to audition for a Broadway musical, a college program in vocal performance, or a heavy metal cover band.
In general, though, if you want to get selected for singing auditions, you should:
- Have audio/video of yourself singing (BandCamp links, a YouTube video, MP3s).
- Know what types of auditions make sense for your goals and your talent.
- Submit all requested materials mentioned in the submission guidelines.
- Be able to talk about yourself in an interesting but humble manner.
- Be able to demonstrate that you’re a team player and not a total diva.
- Respond promptly and professionally to all communications.
- Show up to your audition on time.
