While this is probably a singularly ill-advised thing to do, I am changing my audition song at the last minute. I'm doing 16 bars of Hallelujah, and I don't know why, I just know that I am.

I mean, I'm auditioning for a deaf girl, what the hell?

I actually did that song as an audition piece myself. (If you're referring to the Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley/John Kale song by that name.)

One thing that I found extraordinarily helpful is to watch the vibrato and don't overdo it. Perhaps it's something that Buckley fans in general are prone to after listening to a whole lot of him.

Vibrato is always a problem for me, it's what my voice _wants_ to do, always always always. I also choke in vocal auditions, my throat just closes and I have _no_ head voice. I did better than I have in teh past, but it was still piss poor. Progress I suppose. I did like using it though, so that was something nice to discover.
