Under: Audition with Record Company!
I received an email on 3rd Jan inviting me to an audition with BGM record company.
This was the result of being recognized when I was doing Open Mic UK. This was very exciting that someone had spotted me and liked what they saw so mention me to the record company.
After arranging with them my audition was to be at 12pm on the 18th Jan in London!
After having a very bad morning with everything possible going round (which included missing the train I was meant to get) Dielle (singing coach) and I arrived at the audition just 5 minutes late which was amazing considering we got the next train which was 40 minutes later!
I had to fill in a form about my journey, what I have done so far and if I write music or lyrics or play an instrument (which I don't) so at this point I was a bit nervous as had a feeling they wanted someone who could write.
Got into the audition and was asked about my journey, influences etc and what I wanted from singing. I have to say it was quite scary and find it difficult being put on the spot but answered the questions as well as I could. A lot was said about writing songs which I knew would be an issue as I don't write (yet) but made it very clear that I will do whatever it takes for me to get the career that I want. I got given some very good advice. After being asked questions and getting a lot of information about the company etc I was asked to sing 2 songs. I chose to sing a dance song which was 'toca's miracle' by 'Fragma' and 'Jessie J's' 'Big White Room' which is one of my favorite songs to sing and love the emotion in the song. This is the song I also chose for the 2nd round of Open Mic UK. After singing I felt quite good and felt I sang well considering the pressure and nerves that were running through me. Got very good comments such as "Your voice suites Jessie J and really shows of your voice" which I must say was amazing to hear!
After the audition I felt happy with what had been said and was just delighted to have had the opportunity to do this (thanks to Open Mic UK) although I wasn't too sure what the result would be until I got an email back.
Then I received an email at 5pm the same day saying that they were very happy with my audition and that I had been successful in getting a place in the academy! I was sooo excited and happy!
So the next step is to go to London once a month for 3 hours to work on songs and to co write with producers, get an image and basically get help as an artist to develop! :) whoop whoop!!!
This year is going to be amazing and I am willing to work very hard to achieve great things :)
