I recently completed an audition master class at WAAPA and i found it extremely beneficial. if you can get around to doing some course like it, i am sure you wont be disappointed (try NIDA)
here are just a few pointers that i can remember;
Think of an audition as another chance to perform and shine! (Only if this helps) imagine the room is a packed theatre of people just dying to see you do your thang!! concentrating on the 1, 2,maybe 3 people in the room can intensify things and make you more nervous.
never look directly at the panel when performing. they may (not on purpose though) distract you. try and keep your eye line just above their heads and perform to a big space rather than the little room you are in (this technique shows confidance) this way if they speak between themselves during your performance you are not thrown off, they are probably saying how good you are!
they WANT you to give your best performance. they dont want you to stuff up, they want to see you at your best, coz if your good enough they will cast you!
BE PREPARED and dont make excuses (sorry i have a cold, my car broke down etc.)
have your sheet music clearly marked in bold colours if there are changes. use your few minutes with the pianist wisely and be clear if there are any changes.
auditioning should be a positive process regardless of whether you get in or not. its all experience!
others may agree or disagree with these hints but i found them very useful!!
good luck
