I don't know anything about adjudicating, but having competed in the Southern Regional NATS auditions last weekend the one thing I noticed about the judges was that they all looked like they could bite the head off of a live chicken!! Not just my judges (however, one of the 3 had a smile and pleasant look on her face. the other 2 were scary) but I listened in on some of my friends auditions and saw the same look on other judges faces! Is this something they tell them to do so as not to give false hope or something?
I placed 2nd in my division so they must have like me but it sure is difficult for me to sing to a dead-faced audience! I really "overused" my hands and I knew when I was doing it that it was more hand motion than I usually do, but so help me I think that I was just bound and determined to get some response from that 3 people audience!
