Musical Theatre universitys?
Saturday 8 May 2010
Hi,
I'm currently in year 11 at school, living in Sydney, and I'm at a point in which I'm looking at all possibilities for a future and for universitys. My most current quiery is about universitys for musical theatre.
Of course I know of WAAPA and NIDA (Although I have heard that NIDAs course is more strongly acting based and not really a good course for an all rounder? Although it's so compeditive, it would be amazing just to get in.)
What are other options for a good musical theatre course that would set me up with some chance of getting anywhere in the industy?
I'm looking at universitys within Australia, however, just for broading the horizons in my mind's sake, names of good international universitys for musical theatre would also be appreciated.
Also, any paticular tips on how to go about preparing myself for a career in the industry appart from regular classes? Currently I do Ballet 3 times a week, Tap once a week and Jazz once a week for dancing. I have a private singing lesson once a week, a group musical theatre lesson once a week, and a group drama lesson once a week. I also perform in musical theatre aimed at children (so things like beauty and the beast, Alice in wonderland, Puss in boots, etc.) every weekened and every day of the holidays. I really want to start looking at preparing from every angle, and I want to know everything I can do to help me. Any tips?
