Back to the real (auditioning)

I am finally back in NY and ready to work my butt off! I have been going to every audition I can and it is only the begining. This is the season for auditions. More than I can count. I have also been dabbling in t.v as well. I want to cast my net as far as it can go to have a better shot at opportunities or as we say in the House Of Talent (H.O.T) "booking the gig."
Audition tips....these are quick tips to do inbetween the big audition that will help you book the gig.
1. Research the play. You do not want to walk in there singing a pop song for a "legit" musical theater play such as Evita.
2. Keep learning and perfecting your song. If you are like me and can't afford lessons every week, YouTube is a great tool to help practice and learn material. They have the words, instrumentals and with vocals. my motto: "If it's free..it's for me"
3. Practice in front of your friends and/or family. In our house we have a 16 bar party, where we sing our 16 bars for each other.
4. Finally never stop auditioning. Sure you don't want to waste your time and go to unnecessary auditions but if it looks like it can be for you(research), or even if it is to practice a new song and receive feedback. You never know the show you may not think is for you just maybe the one.
