Hey guys :) I'm 15 years old and really want to do musical theatre and am dying to go to WAAPA. My friend Patrice Topiki went and auditioned there wen she was 17 and she's now 20 having graduted from WAAPA and is in the musical We Will Rock You doing understudies for leads. But she was apparantly really lucky to be accepted at that age and she's good at singing acting and dancing. Wheras i think i can only get in on my singing...acting i'm not overly confident with and dancing i'm going to take heaps of lessons. How good do you have to be to get in & what age is good to start? I'm thinking of going to the conservatorium of music in QLD first coz u also have better chance of getting in i've heard. Can anyone tell me about the audition process and wat the course is like? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys, Bec xo

sing over king does have a web site, i think it is just singoverking.com (.au i tihnk)
i have heard that it is also a good course, but mainly for a singer who is pop orinetated
i auditioned for waapa last year, but i was rejected...however, i kinda was expecting that as i wasnt already a triple treat and you could say that i am definitly not a size 10! however, it didnt get my spirits down, as i know that music is what i want to do in the long run.
now i am doing a course of cinemagraphic makeup with peter frampton, which is proving to be great...and its only the first week!!!

just remember, if you dont succeed the first time, just keep trying, maybe try something a bit different, coz i know that i personally prefere the production side to theatre than the performing side, but i am told that i am an excellent performer. maybe in a few years time, i will travel and try out other schools...who knows....but just remember, you can do whatever you set out to achieve, no matter how long it takes you!!!
