Hi all I'm confused :S I have been preparing for my WAAPA MT audition by 'performing' my songs as if I were in a production of the musicals...one in particular with quite a bit of movement...using a chair etc. My friend told me today, however, that there is an X on the floor which you are supposed to stand on, and that - although you can move slightly - you are primarily to simply sing with expression. Can anyone clear this up for me - particularly those with first-hand experience - because I am extremely confused...and worried :S I feel like a bit strange asking this, but I will feel even more strange if I 'perform' my songs at my audition to some very confused auditioners that expect me to stand on an X. Thanks :) x

I auditioned for MT at WAAPA last year and received a call back. From what I observed they are mainly listening to your voice clarity and your ability to convey a message, as Julian said. The reason why I say this is because in my last WAAPA audition, I completely bombed out on my monologue - forgot nearly half of it - and yet was still offered a call back. So I assume it was the delivery of my songs that got me through. Would the use of a chair add any meaning to what you're singing or performing? Remember you are auditioning for a drama school, so they will be looking for potential as opposed to seasoned performers.
