Auditions anybody?

Last week presented an interesting situation that I had't experienced before. Two local studios wanted me to do an audition for them for the same spot. Personally, I have no problem with providing auditions for whoever wants one. I believe that the engineers idea of what the client might want is a great place to start. If the engineer gets involved enough to give an opinion. If he doesn't, you're on your own to offer what you think the client wants.
I don't know about you but my loyalty is primarily to myself. The more places I audition with for the same job, the greater my chances of being the talent doing that job for pay. It did get a little interesting last week when I was asked whether I'd already auditioned for the spot. I guess I'll know in a couple days how things turned out. I'll keep you apprised..
