Hi,
I got an e-mail about auditioning for the X Factor in Newcastle but it'd involve missing a day of uni as I'd not be able to get down to Essex within the day.
Anyway, I auditioned last year and got through and was meant to go to see the judges but it just wasn't the right time at all as my aunt had terminal cancer and shiz as well as uni so I just decided not to do it.
Anyway they told me to re-apply so I did and got an e-mail about getting through and doing it, but again it'd involve missing a day of uni.
I've done a quick video so you can hear me, I was ill when I recorded it and the quality isn't the best but it gives you an idea lol, so any advice would be appreciated.

So yeah I dunno whether to go for it,

I think you have a very nice voice, and if you got asked to try again they obviously see something in you. However if missing a day of uni for it bothers you then I'd question your committment and its extremely important to really want it in the music business.
Overall I'd say go for it, if you really want it. You have nothing to lose
The thing is I have no aspirations of being a singer lol, don't get me wrong I enjoy singing and performing; but it's fun and I enjoy it now, I don't know if I'd enjoy it as a full time job if that makes sense? I wanna be a Speech Pathologist rofl so it's a bit different.
I get what you mean and thanks for the compliment but we'll see, X Factor's one of those things where I just see it as a laugh, I don't really expect (or want) anything to come of it.
Cheers dude, thanks for your honesty
How'd you mean?
Yeah I know, like I know what I'll be putting myself through haha I just thought you were gonna give me an insight into something lol
Try again next year or a year where you haven't got any commitments.
By the way, I love your voice.
TXF will be a very long process, especially so if you're just in it for a bit of fun rather than long-term aspirations. Of course, it's essentially down to you. Good luck either way!
I think you have a very rich and deep voice but more on the theatrical level. I would say go for it IF this is something your 100% set on and the XF platform is a road you want to take (with the cliché's, the manipulation, limited song choices that may not suit your voice etc), perhaps the experience would be beneficial too. I do personally think the BGT and The Voice platform would be better suited to your style though.
You only live once
