Afternoon everyone. I've recently graduated from 4 years of Acting School for the Meisner Techniqe and am now looking to branch into musical theatre. I'm seriously considering an audition for NIDA's Singer, Dancer, Actor - if anyone has any information or advice on this it would be GREATLY appreciated. I have no idea what to expect at the audition or the standard at which those accepted are performing at (although I would expect it to be high). Thanks all.

Ok, so I'm not sure exactly

Ok, so I'm not sure exactly how the sydney days work, as there is always more than one day of auditions in sydney, whereas melbourne and brisbane there's just one, but i'm pretty sure its the same. if you're from auckland and couldn't stay for a callback (if thats what you're worried about) then i'm sure avi would take that into consideration. but basically the process is : *the usual "hi" and talk from avi, any questions you have you can ask here. *everybody sings *everybody dances (cattle call style audition, but no "cut" as such. *Avi does a cut/cull (whatever you want to call it) those that make it through the first round are asked to stay and do their monologues. *Those who stay do their monologues(be prepared to do it more than once, taking into consideration avi's direction) *Avi does another cut *All those asked to stay do an interview with Avi *Avi then decides who will be shortlisted. If you are shortlisted you are asked to do one of your songs again which is filmed. *You can leave! You are then notified by phone if you got in. Avi's pretty good with letting people know as quickly as she can. Not sure how you find out if you didn't make it - letter perhaps. Anyways, this is how my process went - I assume its still pretty much the same. All the best with your audition!
