Auditions and the "Hot Seat"

Mr. Laureano, I've always been told when practicing orchestral excerpts that one would play them differently in an audition then they would in a live performance. I suppose a good example of that would be that perhaps one would play Ein Heldenleben a little more louder and brighter in a performance than an audition. So my question is, how much of a difference is there from an audition to the "hot seat?" Would you not take some of the liberties you would do on Mahler 5 or Pines on an audition? That's just something that's been on my mind for quite some time, thanks a lot!!
