NIDA's Singer Dancer Actor

Hi, i did the course a couple of years ago, and loved it to pieces. it was definitely the toughest year ever, but also the best - one thing i'd say is that if you've just come out of 4 years of straight acting don't expect that to carry you through - they put a lot more emphasis on singing and dancing than they do acting - at one point in our year we actually had to request more acting classes. as far as i know the auditions are still the same as they were for me - you all learn a group dance number, which is probably split into 2 sections, one for everyone, and a second for people with more dance experience - then you'll sing your 2 prepared songs (well, not necessarily, they might only need to hear one), and then they call people back for the acting. Avigail (the course director) does have high standards, she always knows what she wants. she can be a little scary, but she has sooo much knowledge and experience. i'd say if you're interested in musical theatre then go for it, it's a good course.
