We all know... more hours in the practice room doesn't equal results!
It's easy to get obsessed with counting hours of practice. And sure - usually you’ve got to put the time in to see results.
But a lot of what goes into successful auditions happens alongside the practice room: creating a routine, resilient mindset, strong mental and physical preparation, and a water-tight strategy at the audition itself.
So... start digging into these concepts!
