William Flynn · Answer 1

High level of arousal

Explanation:

Yerkes-Dodson Law: The Yerkes-Dodson Law was given by Robert Yerkes and John Dillingham Dodson in 1908.

The law states that easy tasks take a high level of mental or physiological arousal and it gives rise to high performance, at the same time for difficult tasks the high level of mental or physiological arousal will increase only to a certain extent.

He believed that the arousal and performance are directly related to each other. In other words, the higher level of arousal will increase the performance of a person to an extent or optimal level after that the performance will start to diminish.

According to the Yerkes-Dodson Law, the level of arousal at which will your performance be best during the audition is at a high level of arousal.
