Hi 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!!

I've always been told that you should wear something loose-fitting that you can freely move around in. Clothes that you'd wear during rehearsals.

Remember that it isn't a modelling competition so looks aren't high on their criteria list. Don't wear short skirts, high heels, tight jeans or put on excessive amounts of make-up.

AND DON'T WEAR A COSTUME for your piece. It takes the focus away from your performance, it says that you don't have confidence in your own performance and its just god damn freaky.

They just want to see YOU and YOU doing YOUR BEST without the frivolity of costuming/make-up/tight short skirts.

Good luck!
