>>It doesn't
matter if the judges smile or not, but if first timers like myself knew in
advance that this was no ordinary "Sunday morning congregation" type audience
it would be less of a shock.
Perhaps you could mention this to your teacher, and he/she will know to give
beginners a little better preparation in the future. However, I can't think
that one would really expect a vocal competition to be like a Sunday morning
congregation> The latter is always great for our ego and self-esteem, but
the former is necessary for our growth and improvement. Apples and oranges.
