Um hi guys! wow what an amazing forum! I am, like so amazed how much you guys all know about like, acting and stuff! I heard off my friend dulcie at the clinic that waapa was doing auditions for people soon.... my mum has always said i'm such a character, and I was thinking, i reckon i could be a performer in a big hollywood musical! i cant really sing that good - only in the shower using my shampoo as the microphone!! haha I heard they teach you singing and stuff at the academy, so yeh. I reckon it wud be wicked to be in a place where everyone is so talented and amazing singers. I wanted to get advice on my audition.... I started writing my audition monologue and me and my friend sharon, who did ballet until she was, like, 14, is helping mewith a creative dance...how long should it be? and is it cool if i wear my leotard? what do you people reckon?>

thanks so much guys!

Hi Jai I'm currently in first year of the BA course. If you are a bit older with that kind of experience your chances are better than a lot of the guys auditioning nowadays. You'd almost certainly get into the cert anyway. My first few months here have shown me that personality is a BIG factor. The staff have to work with you for 3 years (as do the rest of us). In your auditions be pleasant, enthusiastic and fun. Audition with material that you really enjoy performing. What are your songs? By the way, on the topic of workload, nothing can prepare you for this course. Trust me, I came from a very busy couple of years into this course and it has been intense. Fun, but intense. Good luck.
