WAAPA Music Theatre Audition

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

Just thought I'd put my 2 cents worth: Disillusioned's Comment::: "Hey she may be 17 who cares 17 or 18 still young , so there goes the WAAPA 'you need maturity and worldy experience" this is the the point I want to get across." ^As stated by others, age is not an indication of maturity- You still have 25+ year olds, grafitting and destroying property, and you have 17/18 year olds having desk jobs (such as my friend, who got paid to move and work for Sydney for next byte- australia's largest apple reseller. Regarding the 'Quota' comment you stated, If The panel did say that, (obviously they didnt think you were up to the job) and instead of saying " you're not good enough", or "work on your voice a bit more or whatever" and try again... The words used- well better words could have been used, but you obviously took it the wrong way...and are now making quite a fuss about it. Instead of posting how much Waapa is this, and waapa is that- why dont you sort out the "problem" with them....although I really dont think the problem is with waapa, but with yourself. As for the South Australian girl. I'm sure the judges wouldn't be intimidated or influence by the girl's mother (coming from a top dancing school or whatever). Despite rocking up on the wrong day, and the argument that takes place- in the end the judges felt SHE had the qualities needed to be able to handle the course. If anything, all the squabbling you (Disillusioned) are doing, and going on about 'maturity' etc, shows the lack of maturity you possess, and shows the lack of ability to be able to move on. You shouldn't be worried about what grounds one person got accepted to the course on- You should be concerned only with yourself, and how you as a performer can develop and make your self into a better performer and person...and if you concentrate and work on that- you will have a better chance of getting in....instead of bitching and moaning about the 'injustice' that you say occurred... Thats all I have to say.
