In this episode, we talk with Rebecca Oliverio about the difference between preparing for an opera audition versus an orchestral audition. She shares her experience round by round, and how she dealt with - and maintained -  her drive in the three weeks between prelims and semi/final rounds.

We also discussed the correlation between sports and auditions,  how it’s not about anyone else not playing well, but more about YOU playing your best - and how that helps eliminate negativity.  Listen to Rebecca speak about her NINE siblings, and how she is more than just a trumpet player.
