Audition process for acting courses *PERTH* audintionees speek up! — Theatre Australia Forums

OK, so i have been doing some research :P It has been stated that The Entertainment Factory has changed their name to WA Academy of Dance and Drama. Thus lets not get confused here. If you look it up they have the same contact details (Balcatta). The other two places that offer these acting courses are Stage Door School and of course WAAPA. (If I have left out any other schools that offer acting cources please let me know!)

My question.I just wanted to know, going out to people who have auditioned for WA Academy/The Entertainment Factory or Stage Door. What are the standard requiments to get accepted? Oviously you must have TALENT, good acedemic records, maybe some previous acting experence? But what a really want to know are the complex stuff :o

What is the main reason for rejection besides lack of talent? Is there a unwritten borderline of what your acedemic records should be like (TEE/NON-TEE, an average of Bs or As)? Would 17 may be too young? Is their a limit on how many they can accept? Is there usually a high/medium percent of applicants?

I know I may seem like a nark for asking, but isnt this what these forums are designed for?! XD doing a acting course would be a big step for me. but its what i want to do. All advise/information would be muchly appreciated :)

Yes thank you. Every bit of information does help :P I am definatly concidering The Entertainment Factory than Stage Door (from what I gather from my research, Stage Door's way too pricey and you can get the same education/recognition from the Entertainment Factory anyway?) Part-time or full-time? Still not sure. Depending on which one you pick does it alter your cv in anyway? *meaning would a person who has done full-time study be more desirible to a panel* talking about the real world here. But I'm guessing, you get the same reconition/qualification in the end, so i guess it doesnt matter... (Sorry for all the questions but "the entertainment factory" sever is down :() tee heee. I'm asuming they have part/full timee study, for people who have to work? etc... (I don't think you can claim for centrelink or any finanial support while studing) but then again still not sure... Thanks for all your responses, i think i have a fair idea on what to expect :p
