Dear marcus,
already sorry if i am wrong. but the start of your reply was nice, but then got mean.
i don't understand how you say 'people straight out of school get in, but it is only a slimchance you can get in if your really good and have loads of experience'.it makes no sense. i don't understand.
and also of course there's alot of work to these courses, thats why you audition to get in cause its hard going, and they want to know if you can hack it. Written work and assignments,of course there are.
i am not one of those annoying (to you) people who always " talk about when they grow up they want to go to waapa" and thats all,Plus who does that? usually if people want to go to an acting school it means they want to be an actor. you get angry over things like that and I get angry over things like, how ,if someone says they want to be an actor, there is usually is a negative response
"you won't achive that"
"your not good enough"
"you just want fame and to be on the best dressed lists with nicole kidman".

yes, ok maybe the first two statements carry some weight, it is a verry tough industury, and that is why people want to go to WAAPA, because it will make them better, not cause they think it is something easy to do.-i hope not anyway.
again sorry if i mis-interperpted ,i dont usually get annoyed but it sounded like you were attacking me.
i am not dumb, i know the amount of work these courses are, i have done my reasearch. there were just some thigs i did not know and that is why i asked.
sorry sorry sorry again if i have mis-interperted you, but do not mistake me for one of those people who think acting is an easy way out or who only want fame and fortune. Acting, singing, and theatre in general make me happy, and i do take it seriously.
