Your Musical Theatre Audition Experience

Hi Everyone,

I am a 16 year old student studying Year 12 Dance for my South Australian Certificate of Education. Part of the course requires me to submit and "Out and About Project" on any related dance topic. This is worth a majority of my mark together with a couple of practical dance moderations

The topic I have chosen is "The Musical Theatre Auditioning Process" together with analysing a couple of Musical Theatre Course. This will also assist me in my future prospects in Musical Theatre as well as gaining a tertiary score for university.

I would be most greatful if you could tell me about your audition experience.

What course you auditioned for, how long was the audition, what were the requirements, what songs/monologues you did. If you got in or not, were you too young or too old.

Anything at all will help me, it can be funny or maybe you had a sad experience, or you have tried out many times with no success.

Thank you
Emma

i have done a few auditions, for many things, my most dissappointing one was for WAAPA. i turned up for my audition, and my friend who was then a 3rd year who was helping with the process assured me that i had no problems, and that i would get in. ( we studied for a few years together) anyhoo, i went in and sang my heart out, and did my monologue as best as i possibly could. The panel of 2 then sat me down, and asked mea few questions, about dance and acting etc...i replied to them in a very positive manner, and that was it. i was never told by the panel when the call backs would be, or anything really for that matter. i had to ask them "is that all", so that i could leave. my friend asked me how everything went, and i said i was great, but the panel what crap. i am actually glad that i wasnt accepted, because i dont think i could handle working with such boring people. the panel of staff couldnt even hold a normal conversation! It was such a dissappointment. this was an audition that i had worked so hard for. i had been training with top teachers from the con and prestigeous dance schools...all for a lousy 8 minute audition. after my dissappointing morning, i moved on and up...literally, thanks to waapa, i have gained a reputation as being a well- renowned make-up artist in theatre, and am always called back for musical auditions as a singer... thanks waapa...you really helped me.... no seriously!

i have done a few
