Before you even begin preparing your acting work for your audition, read through everything on the website about the audition process and the course. Not only is there valuable information including dates and deadlines about the audition that you should not ignore, there is also information about course structure and year dates. As with other elite...
To audition for WAAPA you will need to choose 2 monologues from their list of monologues (these are updated every year, but remain fairly similar). One modern, and one Shakespeare. Make sure you read all the monologues before making a selection. Ideally you would read all the plays that the monologues are from, but if that’s too much, just read the...
Don’t ignore stagecraft! You are auditioning with theatre monologues, and even though the course is designed to create talented, versatile actors that can work on any stage or screenin the country, it starts as a theatre course, so do not ignore basic theatre techniques. If you are only interested in acting on screen, then I recommend applying and ...
Firstly, this sentiment applies to your monologue. Deliver your monologue the way you have prepared, but be ready for them to redirect you, often in the opposite direction. Don’t resist direction, even if it feels wrong, commit to it as best you can. Actors must be flexible. They must be able to explain their choices, but not be precious with them....
Believe it or not, the auditioners are on your side. They are hoping you come in and blow their socks off, so don’t position them as the enemy. Don’t let nerves overcome you, just get up and do what you’ve prepared for them. The best way to keep nerves at bay is to be prepared, so get up in front of some friends you trust, or other actors as a mock...
Something to keep in mind is that WAAPA is looking to accept an ensemble of actors. They don’t want 18 blondes, or 18 brunettes, or 18 white people, they want a diverse group of people that can play a variety of roles, and provide the industry with an eclectic group of actors when you graduate. So with this in mind, don’t try and re-invent yourself...
Every drama school has a slightly different audition process. NIDA does group auditions, which can be a great learning experience, but WAAPA and a few others offer private, one-on-one auditions.
For most people, your first audition, won’t be your last audition. Some people get in the first time, but most try out two or three times before they get in. Don’t be afraid or concerned about this. Remember the quality and exclusivity of the course is what makes it so great, and there are only 9 places for females and 9 for males, so don’t beat yo...
Chris Edmund, like many acting teachers, emphasises the importance of connection with the other actor. Often high school graduates have been praised for making strong character choices. When you begin a formal training program, it is often about letting go of many of the things you were praised for in high school. Focus on simplicity and connection...
