Im doing my first musical audition ever in a few weeks. I’m a freshman clarinet player in Tennessee auditioning for all state honor band and orchestra and I have been trying to apply some of your advice and thoughts to my own preparation. I just wish I had people to mock audition for. There are two people in my band that are anywhere near my level as a musician, and I don’t know any adult musicians other than the two band directors. It’s kind of sucking right now but I think it’ll be okay! I’m just excited to experience a real audition

how did it go?

@RainboTea_TM 2 месяца назад

@@kai_ller I was 12th chair in the top band. 12th out of 25 in top band, 50 in both bands, and 234 total auditionees. The top 10 chairs in the top band go to all state, so I was 2nd alternate for all state. I had a 750 of 800 on prepared peices, 320 of 400 on scales, but a 300 of 800 on sightreading 😭. I would have been 2nd chair if not for sightreading. It was really a great experience and was definitely not expecting to do as well as I did. I’m now preparing an audition for the Knoxville youth orchestra in august.

I hate to break this to you, but if you are not in the top 10 flutist that show up for auditions, you and/or your family will be wasting thousands upon thousands of dollars. Although you might benefit from being less nervous as you do more auditions, it won't change your playing level. You need to push yourself to reach an incredibly high standard and then audition. Otherwise you will just be one of the hundreds of others who really get nowhere. What also makes it harder is the fact that some auditions are absolutely rigged. Many people think this is a myth, but it absolutely is not. It's a vicious industry that you have chosen to enter.

@gill.flutes 6 месяцев назад

i appreciate this, but you aren’t telling me anything i don’t already know!

@yishihara55527 6 месяцев назад

@@gill.flutes Well obviously you don't know. Otherwise you wouldn't be showing up at auditions that you cannot possibly win, especially with a static vibrato.

@gill.flutes 6 месяцев назад

@@yishihara55527 you have genuinely no idea the level of my playing at that audition nor the level of playing of anyone else that took the audition. this advice is negative & unsolicited- if you don’t think i (or others) have a place in this industry, you clearly have missed the message of both this video and my entire online presence. the beauty is, no one is forcing you to watch me play or share my life, so you are welcome to mind your own business!

What happened to you to make you so bitter? How many failed auditions did you take before it led to you offloading your insecurities onto other people? And what inside you even lets you feel that the mask of internet anonymity justifies making such rude and condescending remarks, as if there is not a real person on the other end? Many questions...
