<< I am also of the "no pants club" when auditioning, if only because I had a soprano friend in undergrad who got several unfavourable comments in a competition because she wore pants. >> When I was in grad school, we took a one-semester course run by the voice dept faculty on practical matters for singers -- taxes, health, audition clothes, etc. One girl came in with this palazzo pants jumpsuit thing in which the pants were about the level of a ballerina skirt, which looks atrocious with pants, if you ask me! Plus it just looked like she'd forgotten to dress for the class's session so when the faculty asked for comments from the class, I asked her if she'd forgotten to put on her audition clothes that day (since I had). Man, did I get the hairy eyeball from her. I was sincere! I really hadn't thought ANYONE would dress like that for an audition!!
