even had an accompanist STOP PLAYING! I just kept going like he was still
playing. I think the auditioners were impressed by my professionalism and
coolness in a situation that could have casued a singer meltdown. >>

I have made it a practice to bring only stuff I myself (a crappy pianist) can
fake my way through. Unless I KNOW the pianist, in which case I make a
judgment. Or if I have my heart set on something, I beg my boyfriend to come
to the audition and play for me....
