Advice...whatever you can give! :)
Mon, 3 July 2006, 05:45 pmHi :)
I'm currently a year twelve student in Perth, and I would like to audition for Musical Theatre at WAAPA at the end of the year. At the moment I only ‘perform’ as a part of my drama course at school. I gave up dancing when I was younger (long story) and I haven't really done any singing properly before. I want to begin vocal coaching (for a start), but I just thought I’d ask for any advice regarding what else I can do to prepare myself as much as I can for auditioning.
Whatever your advice…I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
Well, you may not be

I am currently in that course, and there are at least six, including myself, who are 2005 high school graduates. Its basically same audition process as the BA, except there is no dance callback, so my advice is get working on your voice and choose two great contrasting songs that show you off!
Most of all, in an overall sense, take any opportunity you can to perform, that is the only way we can improve! If that means singing in front of family and friends even for their honest appraisal, I say go for it. It certainly helped me develop a lot as a performer, even before I began formal training.
