"I am an experienced singer, but I can't play the piano well enough nor do I know anyone who can play the piano for me so I can practice with the sheet music. In the actual audition it sometimes comes as a shock how different the background music sounds, and with my nerves already on high tension it can throw me off.

How do you prepare to perform a song in front of auditioners without hearing how their accompanist is going to play the music? Thank you so much for your time, - Joey Kovach"
