WAAPA
Fri, 21 Oct 2005, 11:44 pmHi team!
umm, i posted a message a little while ago about getting advice about the really exciting auditions coming up for WAAPA music theatre. I just wanted to write and say that i am soooo sorry because i caused a little cuffuffle, and people thought that i wasn't serious about wanting to know about, like, singing and audition stuff for WAAPA. I thank you for trying to help, and yes, I already have my audion time and I am really excited for my chance to shine. I know I will impress the judges and all of my friends, especially sharon, (who helped me with the dance) reckon i have a great chance. I heard from a friend of mine, peter, who auditioned tree years ago that the judges like people to be different and try different things to impress them. So I decided that is what i would do. I have almost learnt my monologe, but i'm sure they wont mind if i put the pages on the ground in from of me so i dont forget my line. I am wearing a really great costume that will make me stand out and dulcie is coming over tomorrow and we are putting this amazing green rinse through my hair to match my cossie!! I'm so exc ited!! Best of luck and all my hearts and kisses to everyone who wants to be a star at WAAPA! I cant wait to meet you all. Fingers crossed! and as they say in the showtime..... CHOOKIES!!

Speaking as an ex-waapa student, if you really are serious then here are a few tips:
1) they are not called 'judges' it is a panel of waapa staff,this is not a talent quest, usually 2 people for your first audition and then all 4 for the final call backs
2) Standing out from the crowd and being different is great, as long as you go about it in the right way. I wouldn't necessarily recommend wearing a costume or dying your hair to match. Wear something nice, smart, that compliments you and most importantly - BE YOURSELF
3) LEARN YOUR PIECES!! Not knowing monologues or songs does not cut it! If you are serious about getting in and being in this industry you have to be prepared, that is one very important point they make at waapa, so bringing a script for a prompt will not be looked on favourably!
4) you said your friend Sharon helped you with the dance? what dance? do you mean as improving your dance skills or have you choreographed your songs? If the latter I suggest that altho movement is good in songs if required, just keep it simple, don't go overboard, remember LESS IS MORE
Goodluck!
