Re: response to audition result.

EMAILNOTICES>no> I find it extremely inconsiderate that whoever was in charge of the> audition never got back to her to tell her she was unsuccessfull.While I agree with you, one should also consider that often there arejust too many names too remember and it is all to easy to simply forgetone or two names from your list. Don't let her take it personally.> It is difficult for a young person to get a part in a show , she would> be very happy with the smallest part.That very much depends. For women, yes it is. There are simply moreladies in theatre than there are guys. A driector reaaly gets his choicebut is usually lumped with whatever male talent turns up.> Could anyone advise on the best way of going about getting experience> in both musical theatre and also audition technique???Basically, keep auditioning for as many shows as she can find. Don'trestrict yourself to one audition every so often, Start of by auditioningfor two possibly three shows. She's going up against a lot of competition,and I mean quantity, not quality. There will be many others trying tryingas well so it's best to increse your odds. Don't restrict yourself to onetheatre. Find others and audtion there as well. Everyone is doingmusicals presently so they shouldn't be too hard to find.> Presently my daughter is doing an excess theatre art course at> the acadamy and also doing an english degree at Curtin majoring in> theatre arts.If she is studying at Curtin, then she may want to focus more on the course.I found taking shows outside Curtin hindered my study, but I still enjoyeddoing it mind you.I also have a couple of friends doing theatre at Curtin as well. E-mailme directly and I could give names.As Grant said, don't take not getting in personally. When you havea large number of applicants, actual talent becomes less important.Everyone is talented, so let's have a look at - "do they fit with thevision of the thing, is this who I see the character as?" And that doesn'tmean it'll come down to the "best looking," more likely the mostappropriate look. Things like, can you dance, how well, what doesthe voice sound like, etc.I could go on, but you get the point.
