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

You poor thing, there is nothing worse than the dreaded drip, hayfever/cold. Yes FESS is good to flush out the sinus and ask the Chemist their recommendation. You may need a low dose antihistamine. You dont want to wreck your chances. Its always the way though, the most important time in you life- the WAAPA Audition and your sick.
This is the worst hayfever year the experts reckon with record numbers of medications sold already.
I would not say anything to the panel. They may hear it in your voice when you speak and they may ask the question in which case you can reply honestly. Yes I do and leave it at that. Some singing teachers say that a cold should make no difference to your singing voice, you just take a big breath, brace and open up the vocal chords. I know thats all well and good but......
Please post after the audition so we can all know how you went, eg if your symptoms subsided or not.
I hope you do very well and good luck.
