Picture this… A singer nervously walks up on stage for her big audition in front of the director and producer. Given that this is a tryout for the lead role in a musical theater production, she’s prepared a variety of songs to sing. However, she gets to center stage, under the hot spotlight, and the director doesn’t ask her to sing. Instead, he asks her to describe her singing voice to him and the producer. What’s her range like? How is her tonality and sense of pitch? Can she harmonize seamlessly with another vocalist? How expressive is her face and body as she’s singing? Does she move an audience to tears by the purity of her sound? In this ridiculous hypothetical situation, the director has interviewed the singer about her abilities, rather than auditioned her.
