what if i have a cold for waapa audition?
Mon, 21 Nov 2005, 02:47 pmhello,
just a quick question if i have the last of a cold for the waapa MT auditions should i tell the staff before i sing, after i sing, or should i not tell them at all?
if i should tell them how should i do it i dont want to sound like im whinging or making an excuse. but i am croaky on lower notes.
was just wondering cause have heard some people say that they are not interested in stuff like colds etc...
also, anything i could do for my voice in next 3 days to help it along?
thanks for help,
ann

Ann, all I can suggest is that you get as much sleep as you can (even the night before, which might be difficult as you will be so psyched!)
There's a book out there by Peter Mapleson (I think) which says Do Not say you're sick, as they will notice it anyway (however the book was published in the early nineties so attitudes may have changed, yet I doubt it). Also at my audition they seemed pretty keen to get you in and out ASAP so I personally would advise against telling them that you've been unwell.
Do you have any high songs you could have as back ups if your lower voice gets worse? Or could it be a cold where in three days' time your top is gone but your lower is back?
Other people on this forum may have futher advice for you.
Chookas!
