Ms Fryett has experience performing at events such as weddings and Christmas functions, but said she was nervous about the auditions.
"I'm not sure how big the crowd is and I don't want to know. We're allowed to take six support people, so I'm taking my kids, husband, mum and sister. It will be good to have people around that I'm comfortable with."
She described her voice as mellow.
"If there are a whole lot like me, then it will be harder to get through, but if they've all got strong voices and belt out songs, I might have a chance by being different. It will come down to what else is out there and what the judges want."
Josh Pow, 19, will be travelling to Auckland to audition on Friday. He said he would be singing Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers, a tried and tested favourite.
"It's quite a slow song but I can show my voice with it. I've been playing guitar since I was 5 and I've been doing music pretty much my whole life, it's my job. I'm full-time doing gigs and I've been busking for four years around Tauranga. I play guitar and sing, I'm kind of like Mumford and Sons."
Among his support crew would be his girlfriend, sister and mother.
"I'm not nervous at the moment but I reckon on the day I'll be pretty nervous. I've never performed in front of people judging me before but, if they like it, they like it."
A professional performer since he was 14, , he said the crowds would not bother him.
He was enlisting support from his friends via Facebook.
