auditioner
Talent show judge
An auditioner is someone who auditions—either the performer trying out for a role or, less commonly, the person conducting auditions.
The performer sense dominates: The auditioners waited nervously in the hallway.
The evaluator sense appears occasionally: As the lead auditioner, she'd seen hundreds of hopefuls.
