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.

Hey there!!
I saw your post and was wondering whether you've considered attending LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore? I know it sounds like it's far away but in reality moving there is not much different to moving to Perth, you're gonna have to relocate anyway. I graduated from the musical theatre course there 2 years ago and I promise you it was the best 3 years of my life!! I know that auditions are coming up soon for the next years intake (as it works with the American schooling system so semester one starts in August). I'd be happy to put you in touch with the College if you wanted to know more.
