Trevor,
I have been a NATS Adjudicator and you mentioned some things that are
important. I would add just a few more:
Interpretation of the song (according to style, period, composer, etc.)
Stage presence and poise and...
Facial expressions and audience awareness before and after you sing
Correct breath support for each phrase
Pitch accuracy
Above all, have fun! We like to see self-confidence and joy in the
performance.
Hope this helps a little..... Marcia McCarry
