Hi :) 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!

In addition to Tyler's comments, I was 22 when I studied the 1 year Musical Theatre course and was the oldest female in my class. However, it was a great learning experience because it just shows that there is always more that you can learn. And it also is a good start for you to decide if you would be able to handle the BA. The biggest entry requirement (and this will sound a bit sappy) but seriously, just believe & SELL YOUR TALENT! I had no singing or dance training ever and had only performed in community theatre. If you have a natural ability, they will be able to recognise that and just have fun at your audtion. No point in getting nervous, its just another experience in life!
