Thanks David for the positive advice. I agree with you 100% on the approach to the audition. I am not a negative poor poor me type person and will certainly not pretend to be for the audition or make up some wild story about my past that is not true. I will prepare and perform to the best of my ability and leave the rest up to God, because when you have thousands of people that sing good, you have to have an edge and that's mine. BTW, I looked in the FAQ on the voice's web page and discovered that the call back session is 1-3 days after the open call. I'm assuming it would be in LA as well, but not positive on that either. I think the guitar is going with me and I will just prepare to stay in the event of a call back.
