WAAPA Audition
Fri, 30 Sept 2005, 04:54 pmHey everyone
Just wondering if anyone could help me out with a bit of advice. For the musical theatre audition, I'm struggling to get the 2 audition pieces under the 2 minute mark each. In regards to the audition, does anyone know what will happen if in the event your pieces go over the 4 minute mark? For example, does the pianist stop playing or is there a timer/stopwatch or bell etc.
If anyone can advise me on the procedure, I'd be greatful.
Thanx.

Jenna - If your songs go over 2 minutes, then just cut them down a bit. If you don't know how, then just get someone who knows how to read music, and make sure you cut the bits that Won't show off your voice. No need to get stressed about it. I hope I helped.

Re: WAAPA Audition
What about the acting monologue?
I've heard they're assessing voice quality and interpretation more than anything... is this true??
Any tips from WAAPA/ex-WAAPA students would be fabulous. Thanks!

Re: WAAPA Audition
in the songs. they will just stop you when they have heard enough to asses the ability of your voice. Dont worry if they stop you. But try and make them under 2 mins. if they are too long, choose a different song.
In the monologue they want to mainly see your abilty to trans-act (adapt yourself into a situation removed from you on that day in an audition. They want to see you be a character.)

Re: WAAPA Audition
and with regards to the monologue... it's just important to show you can speak well, and be truthful.
