Subject:  Bombing an audition...



... is what recently happened to me. How do any of
you keep your chins up when something like this
happens?

This was especially traumatic for me because:

1. I worked for many years to get my performance
anxiety under control. I have made wonderful
achievements in this area. It has not been as big a
problem as this for many years, so I feel that this
was a HUGE step backwards, which is discouraging. I
have not had the desire to open my mouth to sing
since.

2. My teacher sent me to this audition. I REALLY
embarassed myself. I have since been unable to sleep
at times because I feel so humiliated and like I have
let her down.

3. This was not a particularly important audition for
me at all, so it doesn't even make sense that I was so
traumatized by it.

I must say that I have had auditions in the past that
have not been pretty, but I really did take the cake
on this one. I am quite discouraged and, as I said,
do not have the desire to sing or to face my teacher!
It has been almost two weeks! Help!!!!
