studying Mus theatre in Aus
Sat, 18 Jan 2003, 09:06 pmHi Guys,
Spare my daughter and myself a minute if you can. My daughter is currently doing year 10 (year 11 drama/ music) and has lots of experience in musical productions, plays, singing, training workshops etc ...
She would like to attend WAAPA or NIDA (wouldn't everyone) but we realise entry is audition based...(which means nothing is certain , right?)
Questions if we may..
1)Does the resume count for much or is it purely an audition process ?
2) What other performing arts courses are available in Australia (esp Musical Theatre)?
3)Are there any other entry requirements?
If any one has had experience of these courses or general advice that would be appreciated too
Thanks

Last year I completed a certificate in Music theatre and a cert in Classical voice at WAAPA.
basically in the audition, if they see what they like they'll have you. you may be very good but if they want something else or don't like you as a package they won't have you.
It's very subjective.
I've never auditioned for NIDA so I don't know if it is the same there.
Some places where you can study M.th. are as follows:
National Theatre in Melb. has a course which starts july each year. it is growing in popularity and has a showcase at the end.
University of Ballarat: 3yr BA in Musical Th.
There is also a uni in NSW which has something on the auditions page regarding their certif in M.th.
The more you audition for, the better your chances.
I hope this has legnthened your list of places.
I could only offer two bits of advice :
You don't NEED to do a course in Musical theatre to work in the industry. Plenty of ppl don't and are.
Second. Believe in your own ability and don't stop enjoying performing. that's what it's all about. not auditions.
Good luck and don't give up.
