Honesty Pill Coaching presents:

Three Reasons You Didn’t Win Your Last Audition

Sunday, June 4, 9am-11am Pacific | Noon-2pm Eastern

Do you REALLY know why you didn’t win?

Musicians come up with theories and reasons when things don’t go right.

In my experience, their theories are wrong.

It’s time to quit guessing so you can start winning.

“I didn’t warm up enough…It was cold…The acoustics were bad…They don’t like my sound…”

In my decades of teaching and listening to auditions, I’ve found that most musicians don’t know why they’re not advancing at auditions (or winning competitions, or playing better at juries, etc.). They have lots of theories. And those theories are almost always wrong.

I find this heartbreaking—so many musicians want to succeed, but they’re totally confused about how to do it.

In my session, I’ll give you:

  1. The tools to figure out what’s REALLY going wrong

  2. Techniques to fix the issues that matter most

This session gets to the heart of why I started Honesty Pill. I saw so many young musicians struggling every single day, doing their best to get ahead in a difficult career. Over and over, I was struck that they were working on the wrong things. They practiced the wrong material. They focused on wrong-headed advice and excuses. Along with co-host Amanda McIntosh, I’ll take you through a process to help you understand your unique challenges so you can make the progress you dream of.

 

  • Trumpet player and Founder, Honesty Pill

    Christopher Still is a trumpet player with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Before moving to LA, Chris was a member of the Colorado Symphony, the Dallas Symphony, the Charleston Symphony, and the Orquesta Sinfonica de Galicia. His own path to audition success was long and difficult. He loves showing students how to reach their goals in a fraction of the time it took him. When students began traveling from other countries to learn his audition process, Chris had the idea to found the online business Honesty Pill. Through Honesty Pill, he can reach the students who would most benefit from his advice, no matter where they live.
