And altho WAAPA has a very prestigeous name in Australia, the fact is in other countries no-one has heard of it unless they know someone from oz or who went there. To them it's just another drama school, and especially London and America. who have so many of their own, WAAPA, NIDA VCA etc.. are of no interest to them. I live in London at the moment and none of my friends in the industry here have heard of any of these places. As Rhoda and Crispian have said, yes it's a great training background but at the end of the day it's up to you. You are the only one who can make it happen, it all comes down to talent and sheer determination, yes you can fine tune your skills to make yourself a better performer, but in the end it's up to you, not where you studied!! If it's your passion and you have the will and drive to succeed you will. Just never give up on yourself and your inner belief!

CHOOKAS!!!!!
