258 The Audition You've Been Capable of All Along - The Missing Piece Most Audition Prep Completely Skips

You've prepared the excerpts. You've done the mock auditions. You've done everything right — and something still slips when it matters most. In this episode, Dr. Renée-Paule Gauthier gets to the heart of what's actually separating the players who walk off feeling like themselves from the ones who walk off wondering what just happened. The answer isn't what you think — and it's more within your reach than you realize.

In this episode:

· Why the problem is almost never the excerpts

· The difference between preparing your excerpts and preparing yourself

· What attentional narrowing does to your musicality under pressure

· The one question that begins to change everything
