1. Make sure your child get a good night's sleep two nights before their audition day. Fatigue from lack of sleep occurs the second day after sleep deprivation occurs, so this is really important. IE if their audition is Saturday, its early to bed Thursday and Friday night.

2. Eat a good protein meal two hours before your audition, but no later than that. Your stomach does not digest food when you have adrenaline in your system.

3. If you are bringing a speech or music with you put it in a sheet protector and just hand it in, in the sheet protector. This will keep your material clean and in good shape, and make it easier to carry around with you

.

4. Have your student wear a basic watch to their audition so they can keep track of any timed audition activities wiithout having to rely on a wall clock or any one else.

5. If possible, I recommend staying home from school, if your audition is on a school day. This will mitigate any stress that could come up during the school day, and keep your child focused on their audition. Audition day should be an easy, stress-free day.

6. Be sure to practice your audition in the clothing and shoes your child plans to wear to the audition. Be sure to wear clothing that fits snugly, does not tempt the child to tug or pull or adjust the clothing, and that they feel great wearing.
