I passed audition for two relative big festivals,but not with a band.I am for the first time singing my songs solo,and in one song I planned to hold guitar while singing.I know it would be a problem for me if I don't practice in front of a mirror.And I had to make shore that in the beginning I split up the singing and playing,and practice them separate to sound perfect.
So,I record my self every day from the beginning to the end of a song,and then I listen where I make my mistakes and then in circle the whole day.(yeah I am pretty stressed out right know).But I feel improvement and I am pretty secure in my self,couse I never before sang solo in front of audience and on tv.
Determination is the key,set your mind to some thing and you will get there,but how much sweat and hard work you will do,that you don't know,and it is not important if you know what you want.
So don't give up from your dreams,no matter how far they seam.
Hope this helps you a bit.
