OK, so i have been doing some research :P It has been stated that The Entertainment Factory has changed their name to WA Academy of Dance and Drama. Thus lets not get confused here. If you look it up they have the same contact details (Balcatta). The other two places that offer these acting courses are Stage Door School and of course WAAPA. (If I have left out any other schools that offer acting cources please let me know!)

My question.I just wanted to know, going out to people who have auditioned for WA Academy/The Entertainment Factory or Stage Door. What are the standard requiments to get accepted? Oviously you must have TALENT, good acedemic records, maybe some previous acting experence? But what a really want to know are the complex stuff :o

What is the main reason for rejection besides lack of talent? Is there a unwritten borderline of what your acedemic records should be like (TEE/NON-TEE, an average of Bs or As)? Would 17 may be too young? Is their a limit on how many they can accept? Is there usually a high/medium percent of applicants?

I know I may seem like a nark for asking, but isnt this what these forums are designed for?! XD doing a acting course would be a big step for me. but its what i want to do. All advise/information would be muchly appreciated :)

Hello All, My name is Olivia Collier and I am the C.E.O of The Entertainment Factory. As we are now accepting applicants for auditions I thought it best to chime in about a few things to clear questions up that seem to be occurring. One of my students suggest that I jump on here to help with any queries you may be having- 1. I am very sorry for the inconvenience of our website. We are currently reconstructing and rejuvenating the website so has been offline for a while. It is taking longer than initially expected and I again apologise for the inconvenience. 2. Yes we are fully accredited! We offer a nationally recognised qualification in three different areas. An Advanced Diploma in Performing Arts with three majors- Acting, Musical Theatre and Dance. We offer an Advanced Diploma in which you can study both Full Time and Part Time. 3. Auditions are in Mid Feb to Mid March. The course begins the first week in April 2008. We are offering part scholarships to 75% of students accepted. Male applicants are also considered precious. Males auditioning and wishing to attend Pas Des Deux classes will do so at a greatly subsidized rate. 4. The WA Academy of Dance and Drama is a part time company. It does NOT offer accredited courses. It is a performing arts school that is for children to adults for both enjoyment and career. The Entertainment Factory is an affiliated company of the WA Academy of Dance and Drama but they are not related in content. I hope this clears up any queries that you have! If you would like any information you can email me on entfac@letsgo.com.au. You can also contact me on 0413594941 and I can discuss auditions for both full time and part time study. Thank you for your interest Yours Sincerely, Olivia Collier C.E.O The Entertainment Factory A.I.S.T.D, Curriculum IV P: (08) 9207 1945 F: (08) 9207 2049 M: 041 359 4941 E: entfac@letsgo.com.au
