(Intermediate player) - Looking for advice on my playing!!

Help Request

Hello fellow violists!! I'm 16 and I've been playing for around 7 years. My mom recently cancelled my lessons so I haven't had a teacher for a few months... but I still want to improve and I have an audition coming up in a week! Please let me know how I sound and any advice would be appreciated! I was way better a while ago but I stopped practicing as much due to burn out. I want to know how to improve and get better. This is a piece I learned like 1-2 years ago and I tried sight reading over it yesterday.

Also my strings and bow hair are very old so my viola sounds very cheap but it'll sound better once I get those replaced.
