MT Audition Course - help
Fri, 3 Aug 2007, 08:49 pmHi, I was just wondering if it would be possible to be accepted by a Bachelor of Music Theatre course if you have never had any official dance training. I have been in school productions and musicals, do drama and have voice lessons but I have never really taken dance lessons. I have been told that I have natural ability from a dance teacher when I went for a trial lesson and also by another dance instructor which came to my school when we had to do a dance session as part of the lesson. I am planning on auditioning for the three places that I know of in Australia that offer the course in which case, if I do get accepted, I will have to move interstate. Well it would be great if someone could perhaps tell me if there is any chance at all as I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing. Thanks.
FOR LITTLEBIRD: I KNOW
Fri, 10 Aug 2007, 10:07 amI can understand your comment bb43. I don't know the circumstances influencing your comments but one thing is certain - there are so many variables in people's experiences of these situations. Isn't the old adage there's three sides to a story - yours, their's and somewhere in the middle what really happened. From what I have read, there are some impressive graduates of the NIDA SDA course, as in every major course, also many who are rarely heard from again. I do know that not all courses, no matter how great, are suitable for every person and that doesn't just apply to performing arts. Some students thrive in slightly less "prestigious" courses. Although I am not a teacher, I have a great deal of respect for them and feel that in fact, it's not the instiution that is the success it's the teachers and they don't always reside at "prestigious" institutions nor wish to teach within "prestigious" courses. Is it possible that your comment was regarding a situation in which the whole scenario just didn't click. Perhaps someone auditioned well but didn't move on from that, maybe there was a personality clash with the teacher concerned which wasn't resolved. It's a scenario one has to be able to judge with complete honesty taking consideration of all the facts, which I obviously can't do as I don't know them all. More information than you needed I know, but thought may as well throw in further thoughts. They are intended to be respectful to all concerned.
Cheers
