WAAPA, VCA, NIDA???
Fri, 8 Jan 2010, 04:33 pmI'm wondering what everybodys thoughts are on the three schools I mentioned in the title for a career in Musical Theatre and if you can make contacts there and how you get auditions for Professional productions(not cruise's or theme parks) after you have completed the course. And what the chances are of getting in, for example 5 in 500.
I've heard nothing but greatness from WAAPA but I live in Melbourne:( According to my singing teacher NIDA is more for film & television. And she used to be a lecturer at VCA and it saddens her when I mention it because she says its "messed up" because Melb. Uni is trying to make it more academic. Please click on my username to see my experience. I've just turned 15 so I still have a bit of time to prepare. My Musical theatre repotoire is greater than my classical repotoire right now so I think I'm on the right track. And I've been dancing since I was 4.
Other Music Theatre Options

They offer a Bachelor of Theatre - Music Theatre program within a purpose-built theatre training facility. The graduates from the program are going on to great things...you have access to industry experts and the lecturers are some of the best in Australia - it’s worth considering.
