Audition
An audition is a sample performance by an actor, singer, musician, dancer or other performer. It typically involves the performer displaying their talent through a previously memorized and rehearsed solo piece or by performing a work or piece given to the performer at the audition or shortly before. In some cases, such as with a model or acrobat, the individual may be asked to demonstrate a range of professional skills. Actors may be asked to present a monologue. Singers will perform a song in a popular music context or an aria in a Classical context. A dancer will present a routine in a specific style, such as ballet, tap dance or hip-hop, or show his or her ability to quickly learn a choreographed dance piece. The audition is a systematic process in which industry professionals select performers, which is in some ways analogous to a job interview in the regular job market. In an audition, the employer is testing the ability of the applicant to meet the needs of the job and asse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Audition (album)
''Audition'' is the second solo studio album by American rapper P.O.S. It was released on Rhymesayers Entertainment in 2006. It peaked at number 45 on the ''Billboard'' Independent Albums chart. Production P.O.S titled the album "''Audition''" because he felt he was auditioning for a national audience for the first time, given that his only prior album, ''Ipecac Neat'', had much smaller distribution. On his second album, he set out to make the "most abrasive possible sound" and "some of the songs difficult to listen to." Although the opening words of the album are "First of all, fuck Bush," P.O.S told ''The A.V. Club'' in 2006 that he did not see the album as "overtly political" so much as a social commentary. P.O.S told ''City Pages'' in 2016 that the song "Paul Kersey to Jack Kimball" is about his uncle getting hit and killed by a car and its title is an allusion to the ''Death Wish'' film series. The song "P.O.S is Ruining My Life" contains an uncleared sample of an Underoath ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
