Audition Tips for the Bachelor of Theatre

Transcript

Hi!

I'm Renee, I'm studying the Bachelor of Theatre, specializing in Musical Theatre and I will be discussing the audition process.

[Music]

Yeah, like any person would be, I was definitely nervous of the possibility of not getting in and once I entered the room, I felt the warmth and the loving from all the panel members and it was so nice to be a part of it and I knew that that's where I wanted to be, so I felt a lot calmer. No, I didn't learn anything new and I wouldn't recommend it, but for my song I had previously learned a song that didn't quite fit with musical theatre, but it worked and it was something that I was confident with for my monologue. I learnt it from high school and it was for an assessment, so it worked and for the dance, I learnt one from my dance school that I used for the Eisteddfod.

[Music]

I actually have four tips for you today;

One - come prepared and know your stuff.

Two - be kind to the panel members and yourself.

Three - trust yourself and know what you're doing.

Four - act more confident than you feel.
