This is going to sound like a very innocent question, but could some of you explain to me what NATS is exactly? I mean, I know what it stands for, but how are these competitions - are they competitions - organised? It sounds like a cross between two things we have in the UK: the grade exams, which are done in private with just the candidate and the examiner, and the competitive music festivals, with all the other competitors and their teachers and Mums (because they start at 7 or sometimes even younger) in the audience all wanting you to sing well and come second :)
I've read so uch in Vocalist about them, but I can't quite place them. There's also been a lot about the Met auditions, which sounds to me like something more than just simply straight auditioning for something - is it?
cheers
Linda
