How to Handle An Audition Like Taylor Swift

1. Get into a committed relationship with the monitor. Break up with him immediately upon getting into the room. Use this heartbreak as inspiration for your piece. Make something amazing.

2. Auditioning is all about being vulnerable. Say things like, “This is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you!” as your introduction.

3. Have you tried singing like an angel? SING LIKE AN ANGEL.

4. Feel it all. Spend the entire song at a level ten. Refuse to listen to any notes that you are “giving too much.”

5. If you weren’t asked to stay and dance because you “couldn’t take a note” and “didn’t get the tone of the show” exit screaming “ALL YOU ARE IS MEAN”

3. Shake it off and stay and dance anyway.

4. Start dating the monitor again on a break.

6. Write a kickass cabaret about your audition experience and name names (we’re looking at you Phil the Monitor.) Look. What. You. Made. Me. Do.
