Advice...whatever you can give! :)
Mon, 3 July 2006, 05:45 pmHi :)
I'm currently a year twelve student in Perth, and I would like to audition for Musical Theatre at WAAPA at the end of the year. At the moment I only ‘perform’ as a part of my drama course at school. I gave up dancing when I was younger (long story) and I haven't really done any singing properly before. I want to begin vocal coaching (for a start), but I just thought I’d ask for any advice regarding what else I can do to prepare myself as much as I can for auditioning.
Whatever your advice…I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
I was accepted into WAAPA

I was accepted into WAAPA singing a song from Dinsey's Cinderella for my slow # and as a contrasting song, I used a slow Showboat song and sped the tempo to how I was comfortable singing it.
You need a song that shows your range as much as possible. Try and choose a song that you have perhaps been singing for years and that you're extremely comfortable and confident with.
And don't wait a couple of years to audition!!! Audition asap for the experience. The panel will then give you feedback on what you need to work on for the next time you audition. Just don't be heartbroken if you don't get in straight away. They only take approx 20 out of 100's & 100's of apps Australia wide. I know people that have auditioned 3 times and never got accepted and I know people that were accepted on their 4th year of auditioning.
Be positive, it's your happiness afterall!
