Simon overthinks before the audition:

TREVOR
We've got to get you out of your head.

SIMON
And how do we do that?

TREVOR
When you're in there, blow every last bit of air out of your lungs, hard and fast. With no air in your lungs, your body will go into shock, shut down your frontal lobes, so no more logic getting in the way. Then your amygdala kicks in, and you'll be left with instinct. Don't think.
