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!

Yes, the agreement that students are supposed to make with ECU is to focus purely on their studies with out outside distractions. The idea is to allow a focus on the methods being taught with contamination or watering down of external influences. However, I don't know that it is writing nor can they enforce it.

Please note, that while I have auditioned, I have never done the course myself. I have worked (in the past) with students of WAAPA while they were studying on external perfomances and this is what I have learned from them.

Yes, they do work you quite extensively and most students are 'buggered'. There are always a few that cannot get enough and continue to work beyond the course.
