DO NOT LET FEAR STOP YOU FROM AUDITIONING!
DO NOT LET FEAR TAKE OVER DURING YOUR AUDITIONS!
First things first… if you don’t audition then obviously you can’t make a team, so not going forward with your dreams, and following them through till the end of the auditions… will not land you anywhere. Secondly, if you never go through with auditions, not only are you hurting you chances, but your pride. If you never finish the process that you’ve been working so hard for so long…that’s even worse then auditioning and not making it…that’s giving up on your dream, not following through, and just plain giving up.
So…NO MATTER WHAT AUDITION!!! Never let fear get in the way of your Dream!
During the audition process nerves get to the best of us and that goes a lot with fear…so if you audition and start to forget the dance, still go for it because you never know what will happen. It is all about Mind Control and mind over matter.
So it is important :
A.) You still audition, because it is something you have been prepping for, and you don’t want to leave the audition process with regrets!
and…
B.) You try to work on memory in prepping for auditions, to learn how to cope with fear and memory during auditions.
The number one mistake most girls make when auditioning is memory errors and letting fear take over and consume their audition. Memory errors can make a girl feel completely lost and just want give up complete hope, because once they mess up not only do they sometimes make it obvious through their facial reactions, but also through the way they carry themselves in the room the rest of them audition.
Once you learn your dance it is a must to not only practice the dance over and over to get it in muscle memory, but do the dance in different locations, in front of different people, and to record yourself to you know what you look like before you audition as well. Doing the dance over and over non stop should definitely assure that you will have it ingrained in your muscle memory, so even when you’re nervous your body will just naturally do it. Practicing the dance in front of others will assure that you won’t be as nervous doing it in front of different people. Recording yourself, puts pressure on making sure you do your best for your recording, but also allow you to see what you could improve on before you do it in front of a panel of judges at auditions.
Get the mind under control, then the rest will be easy. Some of the best preps for not giving up on yourself in the audition process are to Visualize that you are making the team/visualize your performance before, always perform to best ability in practices, practice in attire before auditions to assure your outfit stays in place, and make sure everything else in in line before auditions like photos, fitness, and paperwork/interview, to insure that everything else is in order as one less stressor.
Finding ways to over prepare your auditions is also crucial, because you never know what will go wrong and what you might need while at auditions! Audition attire can fall apart or break, your make up may sweat off, and you may forget an audition photo or your paperwork. Thus so, by packing extras of everything, printing out extra copies/turning in work online, and just completely over preparing with practicing… will do nothing but completely help you and save you in the long run with this process.
When you look good, you feel good…when you’re overly prepared you always have what you need and more…when you work hard everything else falls into place!
If you are auditioning for a Professional Cheerleading team and you do all you have to do, never let fear be the one thing that holds you back. Fear will get to anyone at any time and the most important thing to do in this situation is to go over mind control and making sure everything else is set for auditions, like your outfit, and everything else will fall into place.
The best advice for someone auditioning and the number one rule of auditioning is…do NOT get fearful and give up! and do Not go through the whole process and last minute not audition, because who does it only affect in the long run…you..and who wants is more then you…YOU!
NEVER GIVE UP…CHASE AFTER YOUR DREAMS! DON’T LET FEAR STOP YOU.
GET IN A GOOD HEAD SPACE, WORK HARD, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE, AND KILL YOUR AUDITION..living life with not regrets!!! and and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
…So Audition. Be Brave, strong, and courageous! You Got This!
