| I have to agree that prescreenings are the best way to go. At the one non prescreened audition we went to, we encountered students in tears
BEFORE the auditions when they realised the level of accomplishment that they were up against. And as far as acceptance of screened musicians, at one large voice dept mentioned above, the yeild on prescreens for sopranos was 1 out of 3 and acceptance at auditions was also around 1 out of 3. (At least thats what one of the Doctoral students advised.) DD passed all the prescreens, and three out of 5 auditions. She knew right away, based on her
own evaluation of her performances, which auditions she nailed and which she didnt. No great prescreen tape is going to make up for what may just be a really off day. |
