I suck at auditioning but I don't suck at performing, so maybe I'll just wait for jobs to be offered direct. Or take a multimedia presentation of my work in to the next audition instead of standing in front of people and playing! Surely it's the next obvious step in the world of the audition. That or Skyping it? Thanks everyone for reading :) It might just be time to get off the audition merry-go-round.

You just have to put it down to experience, another gig under your belt, and one that you wont let happen again, you know the mantra: fail fast, fail often, fail cheap, you've had an experience you can take a world of knowledge from and be ready for your next experience with gritted teeth and clenched fists. Don't dwell, life's too short :D i'm sure your other projects will shine ! everyone has their bad days, fortunately with the medium of writing, if i have a bad day, i just dont show anyone, with live auditions it’s an entirely different story i guess.

Don't knock yourself too much. 1,000's of people would never have made the audition in the first place and if you ever get yourself in front of them again, I'm sure you'll knock their socks off. As you say perhaps it wasn't meant to be - you've had a FAB summer and I'm so proud that I know someone who plays with Tricky who's an all time musical hero for me. Take care :) :) Well Laura you seem to be taking it all in your stride really positively now, which is good.

Not to worry though, you're a very talented person and more opportunities are bound to come your way. A bit of time to re-coup and then full steam ahead. Pip pip. :-) Sorry to hear about the audition, sounds like it was mainly down to a bit of bad timing.

You have to try and make good things out of crap things, don't you. I know I would have been a good asset to the band but I also know none of that shone through today, so that's just another one down to experience I guess. Thanks!

I know I'm the best person for any job - why should I humiliate myself just because some people think they know better? Great story though... :) I also hated auditioning.
