Very useful - wish I had had those thoughts when I started out! The same concerns flood my brain when temping to this day. I always wanted a full-time job where I believed I would settle in and become comfortable. Temping means you're always only as good as your last performance - will they bring you in again? Trying to play the way the section expects you to play - you know the kind of thing! Like you, I had great success early on when my thoughts were simpler - later it was so easy to overthink when you believe you know almost too much and have heard so many of the other players in the frame. Thanks for these videos - my students also learn a lot from them here in the UK.
Wise words and not just about auditions but any big qualifying event in life.

Thanks. I’ve been thinking about doing a video on temping, or subbing, as we call it. Very easy for the inexperienced to step on the third rail.
