Audition Fatigue

Yes, you've just spent half your savings account traveling to various cities along the east coast.

Yes, you're also working various jobs and trying to work out various holiday/family obligations.

Yes, it is easy to think of this as being boring, repetitive, and pointless.

However, this is your best chance to show people who can hire you how wonderful you are. This is the first step to getting to rise another level in your craft. More importantly and more immediately than that, this is a room full of people who are there to hear you sing. It might be a small room and a smaller audience; they might be there to see a whole host of other people, but for those few precious moments, they are there to hear you. You have a chance to make a connection with other human beings, and isn't that why you're really doing this anyway?

Go get a full night's sleep. Hydrate. Listen to some inspirational music.

Try to do it because you love it, and not for any reason but that.
