Subject:  Re: [vocalist] Considerations for grad school audition repertoire


This, ofcourse, is my opinion and not really based on much experience, but I
don't think it matters how many times you think the jury has heard your pieces.
If these pieces are the most comfortable for you and demonstrate what you can
do, then by all means, audition with them. As far as technically challenging
goes. . . if a simpler piece shows something about you. . . if you have a
dramatic attachment to the peice and feel you can really show yourself through
it, if it sings really well, etc,. . . go for the simpler piece. I think you
can tell a lot about a singer by how he sings simple stuff. The flashy stuff
often hides our flaws. Go in with the piece you're most comfortable with and
they'll pick whatever else they want to hear. That's why they get choices. Any
other ideas? Especially from grad school teacher types?
