Auditions - first or last slot??

Which is the best audition slot - first or last?
I've been offered the choice - first so I go in and 'set the standard', or last so I stick in their mind?

What for exactly?

if you're going to get to see them, then last is good because you get to pinch other people's ideas :P. If it's closed, then going first will probably be better for your nerves and also people get more picky as the audition goes on as they may have seen good people and know they've got someone so you will have to make a bigger impact. However if they're going to chose afterwards, then they'll remember you. I'd probably go first though.

LOL, nooo! Everyone's said that now - I went with the last one! I can;t talk about the project at the moment, but it's just a small independant TV prog maker, nothing major, but I don't think they'll be interviewing thousands. I would imagine they're mainly looking for confidence and ideas. I just reckoned it might be best t breeze in the last one and give them a breath of fresh air etc. - assuming I am one!

I don't really have an issue with nerves and wanting to go first to 'get it out the way' - it's going to be very informal, it's for young people only.

ALSO!! Crikey, sorry, a lot of these also's: they'e choosing a group of people, I think, not just one. Could be wrong though.

Personally neither, it's always people in the middle that stand out more

I think I'd go last; it'd give me a chance to watch what other people were doing and if the judges were desperate for people after a load of bad auditions they might let you through right at the end. :p:

Last - even if you cannot seem them fro mtheir point of view they will have settled in after seeing a few peopel and will know what kind of standard they are getting - that way you can leave an impression at the end (mind you, you risk them being tired and stuff)

Neither. I'd take a middle slot.

Last is fine. You'll be the last thing on their minds, and if you're good then you'll stick out for them. Don't worry about it. All you have to worry about now is being good!
