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 assess how well the individual will take directions and deal with changes. After some auditions, after the performer has demonstrated their abilities in a given performance style, the audition panel may ask a few questions that resemble those used in standard job interviews (e.g., regarding availability).

You confess your sense of guilt
You son of the dust
And you pray for forgiveness
The forgiveness of the sky
Please don't take me with you
Now I won't die happy
You don't trust yourself
You need someone else
Someone you can blame for all
For all your...(bloody deeds)
1000 deaths, sufferings and pain
In this moment, on this earth
Your life are memories life without ending
Love what can give
Only naked snake
Don't take me with you
The man of stories
You kneel beneath the cross
And pray with all your heart
Your inferiority needs...
