Lindy Davies and the VCA

I would warn any potential student from applying to the VCA and especially training with Lindy Davies. The VCA is not transparent. You never honestly know how you are progressing at the school. It is insane of the VCA to take on over 30 student in the first year and graduate, in some years, only 9 students. This is very convenient for the VCA to collect fees from students during their first and second years and then fail them just before they are ready to have their industry showcase. It bemuses me as to why Lindy Davies cannot choose actors through the lengthy audition process who she expects can succeed at her school. Why does she make mistakes with every two out of three people that she selects for her school? You would think acting is rocket science. There will be many students and parents who will celebrate when she finally retires and the VCA becomes a more respectable institution. I can't believe the University of Melbourne has not acted to remove her from her post. Until she retires I would advise students to head off to NIDA!
