If someone drops a quarter on the ground, it might land "heads". (chance)
If someone show up for an audition without proper preparation and is not head-and-shoulders the best applicant, that person will not prevail. (no chance)
The belief that "chance" is just as significant a factor as other factors in the audition process provides comfort for the 99% of applicants who do not prevail.
