WAAPA AUDITIONS!!
Fri, 7 Oct 2005, 11:49 pmUm 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!

I did the certificate of Music Theatre a couple of years ago, and just to warn you, if you 'can't sing that good' you don't have an iceberg's chance in hell of getting in.
Most people who have gotten into waapa, even the short courses, have already done years of training. My advice is to get some singing lessons and audition for some of the amateur shows around the place (the auditions section of this site is really helpful).
If you are still hell bent on auditioning (and if you haven't got your forms in yet they'll already be late) then you need to perform 2 contrasting music theatre songs (ie one ballad and one up-tempo) and one monologue from the list that they give you. Make sure you read the play the monologue's from, and also find out about the shows your songs are from so you can characterize properly.
Good luck!
