That's a good point. But for really high sopranos who bank on those notes being there all the time, taking them out of your audition is basically the same as cancelling your audition all together (which i probably a better choice!) I've been told be different coaches/directors that most auditioners have NO imagination, meaning that what they hear is what they assume you have. If you sing a high D in an audition they will not assume you have an F. SO, if you are not consistent with those notes, perhaps you are singing the wrong rep?
