Auditions

We had one to one auditions to get our solo or duet into the show as we are now sharing the show with the second years. I chose to sing and play guitar in my audition. I went through quite a lot of songs prier the audition to try and find the best song for my voice. I chose the song I did because it was suggested to me by my teacher that it might be an idea that I could play guitar so I can adjust the song to suit me, this was because the song I was thinking of originally had a acoustic version which was quite nice. I looked through a few songs for example Ed Sheerans version of ‘No Diggity’ and then started to look through song that I could remake myself and ended up using ‘Dirty Little Secret’ by blink 182.

My audition was not my best as I procrastinated so long on what song to sing, I didn’t have enough time left to learn all the chords and lyrics, so the audition was a bit stop start and also because I was quite nervous that didn’t help me very much at all. In future I will take more time out to rehearse and make sure I have it at the best standard I can get to.

The week after the audition a list of who were going to be in the show was pinned to our notice board. I was on the possible list. If I had my song ready in time for the performance I would be in the show. To improve on my song I think I need to get the lyrics in my mind first then I can change the tempo and pitch of the music to suit my voice. My schedule is to do an hour of practise a day to get the song right.
