I went for my Music and Drama Company (MDC) auditions today. Met XM and his friend at Khatib MRT before taking a bus 169 to Nee Soon. Upon reaching the camp, we realised that we were much too early and so decided to walk in to the venue instead of waiting for the bus to bring us in. Oh man, it was really a long walk. Having been told that our destination was very far in, we were thus mentally prepared for a long walk. However, the walk still tired us out but we just joked and laughed along the way so it was still not too bad. Thankfully we were early as we then had some time to rest before the auditions began. We were breathless after the long walk.
The other guys started arriving soon after and we were told to register ourselves. I decided to audition for both vocalists and musicians (ie. pianist). Then, the auditions began!
Those of us auditioning for Vocalists had the privilege of getting a room to ourselves with a piano to warm up before we sang. I volunteered to lead them in the warm ups having done it twice before even though I was still not too confident with it lols. Whether we were warmed up or not I do not know but I was sure that we felt a little less nervous having already done some singing before the auditions. During my vocal audition, I was certainly still not very prepared. Having not sung alone before, I found the sound that I was producing very unfamiliar and I had problems pitching the right notes. My voice sounded really raw as well and I was sure the auditions were a failure. After I finished singing, I was then asked if I knew how to use my falsetto. I immediately said "Yes!" though at the back of my mind I was having doubts. From what I know, I had been using my falsetto the whole time I was singing. If that didn't sound like falsetto to them then I definitely had no idea how to use my falsetto lol. Anyways, I still did what I had been doing but judging from the judges' faces, I wasn't doing it right anyways.
The piano audition went a little better than the vocals. I was certainly more confident playing the piano than I was singing. I ended the piece feeling like I had a chance of at least getting accepted as a musician but then it seemed as though they were looking for pianist for pop music rather than classical music and so I was once again rejected.
After waiting for all of us to finish our auditions, we then left in the bus this time around. I wasn't going to walk all that way out again. Well, judging from the auditions today, it would really be a miracle if I made it through lols. I had been told that the selection is really strict here. Well, all the best to myself then!
When the letter N and the letter S come together, it's a whole new world out there
