2006/2007 Auditions

<p>To falloffstage or BWMT09 or anyone else who knows--</p>

<p>Can you tell us something about the singing portion of the audition? Does everyone do all three songs? Do you get to choose where to start? How does that part of the audition work? Thanks.</p>

<p>I'm also a freshman in the program, and I love it by the way.</p>

<p>But the singing portion is exactly how it's stated, three songs, 16 bars each, and for my audition, Vicky picked two for me to do, and I think she does that for everyone. It's very quick and then you do your monologue.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone</p>

<p>how many girls and guys try out each year?</p>

<p>Thanks so much for answering my question. I'm glad you love it. It sounds like a wonderful program, and it really has a good reputation. Good luck and enjoy!</p>

<p>not sure of that, i think theres around 200? the number is growing, i know for sure.</p>

<p>is it possible to do a recorded audition.....or no?</p>

<p>No, it isn't. All auditions must be completed on campus.</p>

<p>So I just got my letter from the conservatory saying you have a scheduled visit at 11:00am on Nov. 11 blah blah blah. However, it never says anything about an audition time. Does this mean that my audition hasn't been scheduled or something?</p>

<p>Everyone revcieves an audition time when they arrive at the audition. Although that time seems a little late to be getting to the Con. I remember getting here for my audition at around 8 or 830 and the place was already packed. I would call the Con just to make sure.</p>

<p>For anyone who has any last minute questions for the audition on Saturday ask them now becuase I will be out of town thursday and friday and won't be able to answer before your audition. I will be there Saturday, but I won't be working the audition. The masterclass that afternoon will be given by Robert Longbottom, the broadway director of Side Show (among other things, his credits <a href="http://www.ibdb.com/person.asp?ID=15466)%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ibdb.com/person.asp?ID=15466)&lt;/a>. Also that night is a performance of Side Show. Hope to see you there!</p>

<p>Do you know about how many will be auditioning on Saturday, and can you talk a little about the structure of the day, i.e., dance audition first, where and how you warm up vocally, etc.
Thanks.</p>

<p>Im not quite certain on the number, but it should be between 30-40 people I'm assuming. The audition lasts the whole day. A lot of your time will be for you to prepare and get ready for your acting/singing portion in front of Vicky. These auditions take place throughout the day along with your keyboard placement exams (which have no weight on your acceptance). At 12 there is a break where all the auditioners and students in the program meet to attend a masterclass. This is to show you what the program is like and to show you how we work. Finally after all the auditioners have gone, everyone gets together for the dance call. At the begining of the day you will be assigned a current student who will help lead you around and answer any questions you have. There are many available practice rooms for you to warm up in. Good luck!</p>

<p>PS. - If anyone wants to say hello I'll be at the masterclass. I'll be wearing a light blue top with brown pants (my audition outfit) and I have red hair. I'd love to meet some of you and answer any other questions you have.</p>

<p>Does anyone who auditioned this past weekend want to share his or her experience? How'd it go!?</p>

<p>Hey kyle style.......danimal88 posted a great account of his B-W audition experience on the main MT forum in the Reporting on how the auditions went, what to expect at individual schools... thread.</p>

<p>This [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=3174755#post3174755%5Dlink%5B/url"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=3174755#post3174755]link[/url&lt;/a&gt;] should take you right to it.</p>

<p>ooo I hadn't seen that. Thank you so much SrMoment :)</p>

<p>From what I've heard. From the past audition, 42 auditioned (we had to deny 8 from the audition and choose a different time) and only 4 were accepted. It seems like were looking for a little smaller of a class the the past two years. Good luck to rest auditioning later!</p>

<p>PS - There's still the waitlist, and everyclass has a least one person get in from that list.</p>

<p>Wow. Reality check.</p>

<p>BWMT - I'm a little confused - are you saying that there were people there with scheduled auditions who were turned away? Or, did they not have scheduled audition times, or missed their times or something??</p>

<p>Sorry I worded that badly. Before the audition even happened, there were 8 people who tried to sign up for the Nov date but we had to turn them down since we were already passed capacity.</p>

<p>Are you saying that 4 people were accepted from the November 11th audition?</p>
