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!
Apply for the certificate

Apply for the certificate and you might want to think about doing the classical voice certificate also. I and a lot of others have done that first to get the voice in line with the level of acting/dancing.
Contact a good voice coach immediately - and make sure it's someone with a reputation! As for song choice, pick what suits you! If you know you're a stronger actor than singer then maybe a character piece is a good choice for one and make sure the other is a good contrast and shows your vocal talent. A good teacher will be able to sort all of this out though and answer all your questions. Good luck!
