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.

I reckon they gave her the roles because she's uncommonly talented. Seriously, people, this is just another way for actors to cut across each other. Humility is a rare and precious commodity in this business and I'm sick of meeting people who think they're the Oxford Dictionary of Music Theatre. You think one thing, I think another. That's okay with me. Just because I think it doesn't make it true, and the same goes for you. This whole debate is lame.
As for the accusations on this famous Nadia person, if she did "crap on WAAPA" just because she's gone straight into the industry, it's her loss and someone else's gain. As I've heard, the BA in Music Theatre is as much about the experience as it is the bit of paper you get at the end. If someone is willing to pooh-pooh that, it's their own problem and a bad attitude won't get them anywhere.
(Note: This isn't a personal attack on Nadia, just my response to the allegations. I have no idea who she even is.)
