stop missing notes. stop shaking.

stop getting cut in auditions.

are you devastated each time you get an audition rejection?

in my audition career, getting cut tore me apart each and every time. even if i knew that i deserved to get cut, i'd still hold out hope.

until the personnel manager would walk into the room and read the list of people who advanced, i'd hold out hope.

each time my number wasn't on that list, it sent me into a tailspin of anger, headache, and dejection.

if that describes you too,

you're in the right place.

just because you haven't won a job yet doesn't mean
you aren't on your way to winning a job.

right now it may feel like every decision has led you to rejection. 

but the day you win your dream job, you'll know that every bit of struggle and experimentation led you to success.

let's figure out what's holding you back.

“I am very, VERY impressed with the well-thought out layout of the course. It truly offers a step-by-step tutorial on what to do from the moment that you get the list to the moment you step off the stage."

margaret, student

imagine being free from auditioning.

remember, the goal is to get so good at auditions that you're done with auditions.
you're done with the crazy, sleepless, struggle-filled nights.
you can start your post-audition life.

imagine having financial independence and security.

the sooner you figure this out, the sooner you can finally get your own paycheck and stop living off your parents.
maybe you can pay off your college debt and just be independent.

imagine feeling the achievement of winning a job.

you've worked hard on your instrument for years and years.
winning an audition and getting a job is the moment you justify all of that time and work.

imagine having complete confidence while preparing for your next audition.

your next audition is announced and you get invited. the audition list arrives and you open the envelope with the music.

and instead of going to the practice room and looking at the music stand saying, "what now," you know what to do.

you're going to have a fully developed, beginning-to-end plan that's proven and works.

remember: every single audition winner has been in the downward spiral of failure and regret.

what separates successful people from the pack is how they react to rejection.

i want to give you permission to forgive yourself for whatever choices you've made so far. 

the only thing that can help you now is what you're going to do in the future.

let's complete revamp your audition preparation.

let's start over.

welcome to the auditionhacker formula.

the auditionhacker formula is a training course that helps you teach yourself how to win auditions by preparing the right way, and it's the exact audition plan that i used to win the met orchestra percussion job. it's a step-by-step audition preparation system, from the day you get your list until the day of the audition. it's a blueprint that you can follow and make your excerpts completely audition-ready.

what's included:

- 8 killer modules

- lifetime self-paced access

- 30 day refund policy, no questions asked

- bonus #1: the auditionhacker workbook

- bonus #2: the audition circuit facebook group

- bonus #3: the "watch me work" collection

- bonus #4: the "no bullshit" bundle

- bonus #5: 1 personal mock audition evaluation

before i won my MET job, i was rejected 11 times in a row.

i mean, i practiced so much. i skipped family events for audition prep. i skipped social gatherings. baseball games. party time with friends.

i was having to deal with a ton of negative emotions and feelings because of the rejections. and this happened over and over.

after each audition, i'd go through a series of emotions.

once i stopped dwelling on the terribleness of it all for a moment, i'd start reflecting on my own audition preparation process.

but then i'd just choose one thing at a time and attack it.

i'd start experimenting and trying a bunch of different solutions to each problem.
 

or how i could use an intense self-recording workflow to solve a ton of problems in not that much time.

eventually i came across a ton of incredibly effective solutions.

there were always combinations of steps or actions that actually worked.

every weakness has a solution.

i found out that there's a similar system that works for every single part of the audition preparation process.

but even if you figure a few things out, you don't immediately win a job.

a weakness in your process means a weakness in your performance. that's because if there are any weaknesses or gaps, then your excerpts don't come out on the other side ready to win.
 

but like winston churchill said...

"when you're going through hell, keep going."

eventually it started coming together as one cohesive set of systems. i started to fill in the gaps in my presentation and find systems to overcome the remaining weaknesses that i had.

it was like an assembly line:

• i could insert my excerpts into one end

• they'd go through each of the stations along the way

• they would come out like audition-level nuggets of music, ready to be judged.

that's when i started seeing success.

one year before i won my MET audition, i started advancing.

i was ecstatic that it was starting to work. the preparation was essentially complete and built on a solid foundation.

i tested this process on some smaller auditions.

finally, i had the chance to try it out on a huge one when the MET orchestra audition was announced.

i invested 4 or 5 months into going through the complete system.

i won using the exact steps i'll teach you in this program.

that's where the
auditionhacker formula
comes in.

it's a training course that helps you teach yourself how to win auditions by preparing the right way, and it's the exact audition plan that i used to win my job. it's a step-by-step audition preparation system, from the day you get your list until the day of the audition. it's a blueprint that you can follow to make your excerpts completely audition-ready.

cristina, auditionhacker alliance facebook group member:

“Dear Rob, I wanted to let you know that a bit over a month ago i won an assistant principal position in the Neue Philharmonie Westphalen in Germany. It's a great start for me now after being an academist/intern in the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker for 2 years. I just wanted to say that your resources really helped, and it encouraged me to continue changing and improving how i prepare and practice for auditions, intellectually, technically, and psychologically. Having an online community also helped me feel less of an outsider when it came to how many hours, thoughts, and energy i would be putting into my audtition preparation. For a while i was feeling a bit stuck, alone, and exhausted, with no new impulses, ideas, motivation, and support from people who are currently, or have recently won jobs. It's really a whole other ball game."

here's an even closer look at what you get.
