Sight reading music is one of the most notable things you need to know to be any good at your instrument of desire, only beaten by the importance of understanding how exactly to play the instrument itself. Almost every audition you will ever take part in will include some form or another of sight reading.
Most of this sight reading, though, is not really sight reading in its purest form looking at the music for the very first times while you are playing or singing the notes. (Sight singing music requires quite a different set of skills besides being able to note read).
For the vast majority of required sight reading, you are allowed to look at the music for an amount of time among thirty seconds and ten minutes. The method to proper sight reading is not entirely complex, and, assuming you have time for each step, is a skill you can master.
