Musical Theatre Auditions 2014/2015
Audition Musical Theatre entry (for all three programmes)
In the first year of study all students will embark on a technical foundation year of acting, singing and dance classes and will then specialise in year two on the various routes as outlined below. The dance classes are streamed according to ability, so it is essential that all audition candidates participate in the dance section of the audition even if they wish to be considered for the Musical Theatre Voice programme. Likewise if you are considering the dance specialist route, you will also need to participate fully in the singing audition. Candidates must demonstrate ability in all three areas. Below indicates the three routes that come into effect in year 2 and which we also consider at audition when offering a place on the course;
Candidates must demonstrate one of the following;
• Musical Theatre Triple Threat: Candidates will need to demonstrate very strong skill equally in all three areas of singing, dance and acting
• Musical Theatre - Voice: Candidates will need to demonstrate a very strong skill in voice and acting with dance as a secondary skill.
• Musical Theatre- Dance: Candidates will need to demonstrate a very strong skill in dance and acting with singing as a secondary skill.
The audition process will be the same for all candidates.
There will be three aspects to the audition;
Dance: You will be taught some technical exercises in the centre and across the floor and also a musical theatre routine,(compulsory), a short tap routine (optional ) and will need to demonstrate some ballet technique, (compulsory). Please bring appropriate clothing and jazz and tap shoes, (if you have them)
Singing: Please prepare two songs from the musical theatre canon. You will be asked to choose one to start with and if required you may be asked to sing some of the second. Please bring the music for the accompanist (no photocopies unless you have permission)
Acting: The audition will include a short improvisation workshop. Please also prepare one short upbeat monologue that relates to you as an actor and that you feel appropriate to the Musical Theatre art form. It should last no more than 2 minutes.
