Before the auditions, make sure you look your best. Women should get a manicure, pedicure and facial. Get your hair done in a natural and flattering style. Men should get a hair cut to something flattering and complimentary. Both men and women should wear a flattering outfit. If you are in doubt, find an honest friend to help you choose an appropriate outfit.
