Help please.. especially WAAPA< NIDA< CPA students
Sat, 27 Sept 2003, 05:51 pmMy daughter is currently studying year 10 (year 11 drama)
She is working a lot in amateur theatre (musical theatre and drama)and is getting paid to sing solo at al festivals carols etc...
She currently takes private dance, singing and music theory lessons
She has won acting and singing scholarships
However...
we feel we have reached a watershed and need to decide some things NOW to assist in possible entry to WAAPA, NIDA or CPA
The school she is at provides dance, drama and music to year twelve..
but lately has had trouble keeping teachers.... this of course varies the quality of her education a lot...
we are trying to decide;
whether to attend a recognised PA school (which would mean a lot more travelling and cut down on productions and private lessons)
remain where we are and pursue the same avenue
do a 2 year PA course in Adelaide (but subjects other than dance/drama have to be open access study)
switch to a recognised private school (which again cuts down time for productions and private training)
soooooo
if there is an answer to this
which carries the most weight??
Examination certificates ie level 4 music theory / voice
Experience in large productions with large roles
A recognised school
or a fulltime performing arts course
We need to make the switch soon
any advice gratefully appreciated

Hey Alison,
My name is spike levy, and i was actually surfing the net in search of some information on the monologues that i am required to do for my auditions.
I've read some of the conversations that you have been having with Clint i think, i don't know if that's invasion of provacy or something :) hehehe but it all seemed relevant and interesting....
What i was wondering was if you could possibly write back to me at hotmail....
Spike_wants_fish@hotmail.com
Just to let me know as to what kind of thing they look for exactly in an audition and so forth.
I've studied my high school at victorian college of the arts secondary school currently enrolled in year12, and it's very much like a performing arts school. We do half a day music and half a day academic. I originally got in as a drummer, but moved onto my passion as a singer, dancer, actor.
Would love to hear from you and a brief background about yourself, just to know what kind of people the accept over there.
That would be really appreciated. Hope to hear from you.
Regards Spike Levy, (If you write i'll tell you why my parents called me spike) THANX!!!
