Commentary:

I am looking forward to the preparation of these audition pieces. I have the bonus of already auditioning for these places previously, and so I feel prepared in the sense that I have a backlog of audition monologues and songs that I have used. However I aim to challenge myself in learning ones that I have not yet used in an audition, and to test my skills so that I am not just repeating last year's audition process.
