Thanks Auctor, yes, that's very true....although it's what I meant by being 'at a certain level'.

In the light of your comments, there are lots of ways you can 'fail'. I'd assume if you're serious, you at least lift your game to that level...but I guess many don't. All the better for those of us who do!
Then after that, there are still many who will 'pass', and deliver interesting, entertaining auditions. Unfortunately, there are still a limited number of jobs to be offered, but if you can come away from an audition knowing you did your best and 'passed', then you can be content.
Luck and karma will take care of the rest.

Cheers,
Craig
