Low T levels= cracking voice when I need it most....

So...I'm at a loss and it's making me freak out.

Auditions for my college's show are friday. I'm a senior, and this show might be my last chance to get any sort of role that isn't ensemble before graduation. We have a new director who doesn't know me or the progress I've made.

My T levels have been ->-bleeped-<-ing low. The only reason I know is because my voice got kinda raspy, but the real telling is I had my period over the weekend, and now when I need my voice most, it's cracking like cheap linoleum.

I take my next shot tomorrow- currently on weekly dose of .25 ML of 200MG. I don't see my endo until this coming Tuesday. Is there anything I could do? I'm ->-bleeped-<-ing panicking!

Is this a singing part or a non-singing part? If you're not singing, lean into it - cracking can run the whole gamut of emotions - use it to your advantage! If you're singing, try to keep it in a range you can handle, and be elegant with everything else (phrasing, etc.). As Brian Eno stated - (I am paraphrasing), "Regard your weaknesses as secret strengths". In short, try creatively reframing this to work to your advantage.

It is a singing role. The issue is, my song choice for auditions ends on an E4, which is normally in range for me. I have no time to select another piece.

Rats. I'm guessing a simple transposition is out of the question?

I don't know much about music, but is there any way to do the song in a different key? Maybe say you have a cold or something currently and just perform differently just for the audition (and maybe attempt to explain to the director)?
