YouTube Video Description

Inside The Music - my vlog about all things relating to my multi-faceted music career and my life in general. February 1, 2025 My wife, Stephanie, and I are musicians who work on cruise ships. In order to get the gig, some require an audition! Auditions are always unpredictable… but I did NOT expect how much I'd miss the mark on this one! From the moment I stepped in, I knew I wasn’t exactly what they were looking for. Let me take you through my hilariously disastrous cruise ship audition—where I found myself surrounded by a room full of pastel-wearing dancer/singers belting out Suddenly Seymour… while I was dressed like a full-blown rockstar. This is a story of misreading the room, unexpected rejection, and the reality of auditioning for cruise ship entertainment. If you’ve ever felt out of place or had an audition go sideways, you’re not alone! If you’re an aspiring cruise ship musician, singer, or performer, or if you just like to know what happens behind the curtains, make sure to subscribe for more behind-the-scenes stories and cruise ship musician life!
