If I don't get the role on my first audition, I will keep trying to get a role. I will believe in myself and I won't give up. I will make sure my dream comes true.

My tips :

1. Wear something that slightly resembles the person you’re auditioning for. (It helps)

2. When you can pick your schedule for and audition always choose the one after lunch because the Judges are happy because they’ve eaten and in a good mood (picking the last one is not really effective because all the judges wanna go home and they’re tired)

3. Always prepare a second song of a different music genre. Also you need the second song just in case the song you were supposed to sing will be sung by everyone ( Singing a song that a lot of other people are singing would lead to comparison like “oh this person sang it better” or also the judges being like “not this again”)

4. Learn fast because some auditions will make you memorize a song in just a minute and ask you to sing.

5. Even though you’re really nervous and have no idea what to do act like you do. (Fake it till you make it).

6. Arriving on time is late. Always be early.

7. People getting the main roles are usually leaders. So practice your leadership.

8. Have good conduct because even if you’re the best singer or dancer once you act rude it’s game over. Be like someone everyone would want to work with.

9. People can be mean and rude. Always be prepared to be yelled at.

10. For your photo you can edit it to make yourself look nice but don’t edit it too much. Look like yourself.

11. If you can’t reach that high note but you really wanna do that one song, try changing it a bit to fit your vocal range.

12. Do research on the play and the person that you’re auditioning for.

The thing I struggle with is confidence, and I'm not even considering an audition. I enjoyed the video though! Thank you.

People, Don’t get numb if you loose your first audition . Because guess what? My first audition I lost ... but guess what ? A year later I tired out again for the best singing group in Rogers, and I made it ! Don’t give up. You can do whatever you do, only if you keep believing .

Great advice on not pointing out / highlighting your mistakes. I learned that I do this as a way to say "Hey man... I KNOW that was a mistake - I'm at least good enough to know that it was a mistake". I'm trying to get better.

[MyKeiko]

That advice you give is so clear, im like omg " THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE" and i always enjoy viewing you videos. You are such a light. Shine on Queen Harvey

I'm only 12 right now but in the future when I go to high school I want to be in musicals. My dream job is to be an actress. I'm learning many things from you ♡ Thanks 😊

Madeline you are more than a vocal coach. You are a sharply intelligent, mindful, intuitive, all-around likeable person and your holistic approach to the voice has helped me in ways you will never understand. Thank you! 🙏🏽
