Hey All,
I just wondered if anyone could help me... Just this past week I attended a NIDA audition and a WAAPA audition both of which were, well needless to say, both monumental disappointments. I am a 20 yr old actor based in Perth and I am just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get over the disappointment. (Which I will.) And any other advice on what kind of things can be done to improve my chances next year. Thanks.

Hey,
I too auditioned for NIDA, and was unsuccessful. I believe that if was meant to be, it will be! You can always take the positive approach and do some independent work in theatre or film and get more experience. NIDA and WAAPA both have great reputations, but who says you can't make it without doing their course!? They sort of do, but no-one else does!There are sooo many other ways, all you need is determination! I have come along way since I started acting, and am proud of what I have achieved! I won't let anyone take that away, not even them! I suggest your next goal is to make them wish they had have taken you when they had the chance!! Keep going! Be strong and take another path!
