Hi all I'm confused :S I have been preparing for my WAAPA MT audition by 'performing' my songs as if I were in a production of the musicals...one in particular with quite a bit of movement...using a chair etc. My friend told me today, however, that there is an X on the floor which you are supposed to stand on, and that - although you can move slightly - you are primarily to simply sing with expression. Can anyone clear this up for me - particularly those with first-hand experience - because I am extremely confused...and worried :S I feel like a bit strange asking this, but I will feel even more strange if I 'perform' my songs at my audition to some very confused auditioners that expect me to stand on an X. Thanks :) x

No sometimes age is no

No sometimes age is no indication, however in this case- what mature adult, after finishing an audition, remains at the venue, sitting on the coffee table in the middle of the waiting room in front of all the other applicants and says" I have a call back" whilst everyone else is nervous then she proceeds to 'blow her own horn' No doubt she has a mature voice or whatever else is mature but those actions are NOT. So you were there too??? Oh yes this audition was a soap opera I dont profess to have maturity, I dont care. So why does WAAPA give everyone the big speel about worldly experience and no one is taken directly out of school as they did this year at the auditon masterclass. A 14 year old can show perfomance maturity but that doesnt necessarily mean they are life experienced. The problem is with these young kids who have been cocooned all there life in MT, they get a taste of the outside world and are easliy influenced by the nasty things in society. I hope this is not the case
