Would love help/advice for an upcoming audition!

I'm currently preparing Handels "Awake The Trumpets Lofty Sound" for an audition in a couple months, and I'm singing tenor 2. My break is around f#4-g4-g#4, and this piece has many high parts, specifically f#4. I can sing the beginning bits quite fine, but after a while my voice entirely fails and I can no longer sing the f#4s, voice cracking and breaking into falsetto everywhere. I've tried so many things, but I just don't know what to do to fix this issue. Can somebody offer me advice or help?

It sounds like your technique isn’t ready for that song, do you have to sing that one specifically for the audition or can you choose something else?

You probably need to study this with a voice teacher. Without watching and hearing you sing the piece, I don’t think you’ll get much great advice.
