Auditions are some of the most important things for Musicians, and doing bad at an audition can be rather disheartening, but there's something important about not letting it get to you.
As soon as you look at yourself, and say "I suck" it will end up being true. There are a few exceptions to that, and that's when you overcome the fear of sucking. See, saying "I suck" and giving up never the way to go about getting somewhere. You've got to practice, you've got to keep working, and maybe even find a way to work with the group you'd like to be in, even if that means audition on a different instrument.
As soon as you stop practicing, as soon as you say "I give up", you've lost a very important mind game, and will likely have a very unproductive (at least, in you're musical talent) life.
It's very important to choose a song that you can play if you're audition involves a solo, but it's also important for it to show off you're playing style/styles, so do your best to find a diverse song to play. Most importantly, make sure it's not too long.
Good luck on your next audition!
My next post will be on something a bit different!
