This panel discussion will explore mental strategies and approaches specific to both university and professional auditions. Panelists will also discuss audition processes in music and acting, as well as potential changes that result after the audition. Our panelists consist of expert practitioners and performers who will share various perspectives related to auditions: mental skills consultant, jury evaluation, and of course – the performer.
