How is a 'classical base' viewed by the panel in for WAAPA MT?
Sat, 27 Nov 2010, 07:21 pmOkay, so I just went for my first WAAPA audition for BA in Music Theatre and was called back. I'm just wondering if anyone has any inside info on how the "powers-that-be" are likely to view someone who has had a very strong classical grounding vocally and hasn't yet been trained in the more contemporary style. Are they literally looking for a whole package, right then and there, completed and polished, or are they looking for potential, passion, X-factor, musicality etc? A mixture of both? Are they likely to not even take a look at you if you can't "belt" yet?
Would be interested to hear your thoughts.
Thank you for both Q&A

A fantastic question with a wise, well-thought answer. As a fellow "non-belter", I do feel your frustration at times... but to quote West Side Story - there's a place for us, somewhere a place for us!
