Life isn't Fair. Neither are Auditions. The Key is Attitude.

The sad fact is that auditions are a very, VERY subjective experience.  No matter how well you sing and present yourself, so many factors remain out of control.  The key to successful auditioning, as in life, is your attitude and how you approach both the good and the bad.

After an audition, try not to criticize yourself immediately.  Go out and have a cup of coffee, read a book etc...Try to give yourself 24 hours to process the audition and gain some distance from the event.  After those 24 hours, sit down and evaluate yourself.  How did you feel it went?  Try to list both positives and negatives.  Then set some goals for the next audition or practice session.

For most professional jobs, you will not hear a response, positive or negative, for weeks or even months.  The most important thing is to MOVE ON, and keep auditioning.  Lingering over 'what could have been' prevents you from seeing opportunities in the future. 

As in life, you must 'roll with the punches' in auditions.  Eventually, you will hit a home run.  But you DO have to keep trying.
