Rejected from drama schools - where to from here?
Sun, 20 Nov 2011, 02:56 pmHi all,
This year I auditioned for NIDA and WAAPA and was rejected (I wasn't really expecting much as I have little training). Fortunately, this has only strengthened my resolve to improve and gain entry to one of the schools.
I'm seeking advice as to the best way to go about this. I'm already reading and absorbing Stanislavski's works. I plan to take part-time classes in 2012, but have not yet decided which Melbourne studio I will choose.
My questions:
1) Is my choice of part-time studio/school in 2012 of much significance (or should any professional tuiton be suitable)?
2) Would you recommend getting involved and performing some theatre, or would it be better to focus on training?
Thanks for your time!

if it's getting into a drama school that your so dead set keen on then just think experience...
what form that comes in is completely up to you.
work!!!
travel!!!!!
definitely do a few shows. if you haven't been down this road I personally don't think you should be thinking about doing it professionally at all. you may realise it's not what you thought at all.
if you decide to do some training leave it till later in the year and get some help for your actual audition pieces.
and most of all realise this might take a couple of years and not just one.
