Hi all,

I'm an 18y/o female, and next month I'm auditioning for, among other places, WAAPA m.t and NIDA.

Could I have some suggestions please for song choices (remembering that 2 songs should only come to 4 mins)?

I am a soprano with very strong technique and am comfy in most sub-genres of MT.

Is there any thing in particular I should take care to avoid in song selection, and do you have any additional audition tips besides those common to practically every audition.

How many people are on the panel and what is the interview like?

TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW! lol

Peace,

Jay

Hey... That's the thing with auditions...
If you know you are brilliant, then sing what the hell you want!
You'll get in with your stirring heartfelt rendition of Row Row Row Your Boat.
However for mere mortals...

Listen with a slightly critical ear to even the best singers sing Sondheim, and suddenly you become aware of faults you never even noticed...

And hey, I've never auditioned for any of these places, so what would I know...
