I’m going through the entire process on my own (I even worked a full time job this summer to pay for all my applications and auditions). I recorded my prescreens right at home standing in front of my front door. It was the only solid location for me to stand in my house that still had good acoustics. I did have to re-record once because a car drove past, and there are small windows on each side of the door. But I was successful in my pre-screens and have gotten live auditions!! Just goes to show that you don’t have to go all out as long as you put your all into it! I did record a dance portion of one audition in a church gym as well.
