hello,

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

Fess is excellent

The advice here has been very good... people will sometimes give you all sorts of home remedies but trying something brand new on the day of the audition is not a wonderful idea... I've seen it go horribly wrong with glycerine


I think they are smart enough to figure out if you have a cold and may even ask

but nothing sounds worse than apologising before youi perform... some people make a habit of it
