<p>I think my friend Ambe is in that show.
Thanks for the audition info, kasl!
...it'll just help guide for having less confusion while I'm there</p>
<p>Hey kasl24. I am auditioning on Jan 20th. I have a few questions.
1.) Was the "interview" part of the day hard?
2.) Were you intimidated by the talent there?
3.) How long of a break did you have inbetween each part?
4.) Did a lot of people do a solo audition?
5.) What did most people wear for Dance? Leotards and Jazz Sneakers?</p>
<p>If you could help kasl24 that would be great.</p>
<p>Oh and did you hear back from the school yet</p>

<p>Oh, kasl24, i forgot one thing. did you show up wearing what you wore for singing and acting when you first went there or were you wearing jeans or something more comfortable???

<p>Hi Singinstar,</p>
<p>Here are my answers, hope they help!
1)The interview was very informal, it happened after both the acting and singing parts (which happen separately) and consist of you sitting down with the auditor(s) and talking about how you might fit in at UArts and why you wanted to apply there etc. You will also have a chance to ask questions, so come prepared with a few brief ones.
2)The only time you can see the talent of others is during the dance audition. It is always intimidating to be around other whom you are competing against, but I didn't think it was particularly bad. There were no divas or anything, everyone I talked to seemed really nice.
3) The break will be different for everyone, as they called us in different orders and kind of mixed things up. For example, after my dance audition I had plenty of time to change but then went down to my monologue audition pretty quickly. I did have to wait for quite a while between my monologue and song part, but I would say I never had more than an hour between parts. My sense of time from that day is kind of gone, looking back it seems to be a blur so take that with a grain of salt :)
4) I didn't stay to see who did a solo audition, but it seemed like there were less people who did one than didn't. Most people just did the group one (that's what I did).
5) There were a lot of different dance outfits, I wore cropped dance pants and a close fitting t-shirt. I would stay away from sweats or baggy sweats for girls, because they need to see your body and be able to see how you move. I would wear something that you feel good in and you are used to dancing in. I wore jazz shoes, but others also wore jazz sneakers and ballet shoes.</p>
<p>As for your final question, I wore jeans there with the t-shirt I was going to dance in so I only had my pants to change in case there wasn't a lot of time. When you get there, they will talk to you briefly, but mostly you will get taken straight to change for dance. You do switch buildings from where you first start out and where you audition, so make sure you wear something warm enough to go outside in!</p>
<p>I haven't heard from the school yet, because something with my transcripts got screwed up and i just found out they didn't have them yet, but I know another girl who auditioned the same day as me found out about a month later I think? As long as all your supporting materials are in by the time you audition you should hear back fairly soon, though I think it's different for everyone.</p>
<p>Anyways, I hope that helps! Let me know if I need to clarify anything :)</p>
<p>Good luck, and let us know how it goes! Remember to have fun too!</p>

<p>Katie.......you are a true Angel for taking the time to share your audition experiences with all of us here. Daughter will be auditioning at UArts this Saturday. I know she'll be far more comfortable now having an idea of what to expect and being better prepared for the day armed with all your valuable information.</p>
<p>Our best wishes to you as you proceed through your auditions.</p>
<p>if anyone has any further uarts questions, feel free to PM me. i will be working at the auditions on saturday. assuming i'm doing what i did at the first auditions, ill be signing people in. i'm short with brown hair, so be sure to say hi and tell me you're from college confidential! i was the only person checking theater people in last time, so you can't miss me! haha</p>
<p>to people who have auditioned already--did you do all four of your pieces or did they just have you do one song and one monologue?</p>
<p>My daughter did all 4. In fact, She was asked to repeat some of her monologues with additional direction and was asked to sing her ballad a second time so that the auditor could focus on certain passages. It was definately an interactive audition.</p>
<p>Yeah, I did all four as well and was asked to do parts of my monologue again as well!</p>
<p>And SrMoment, tell your daughter I say good luck! I am by no means (at all) an expert at this whole audition thing (and probably never will be!) but I do know that any information I could get before hand helped to make me a little less nervous and a little more focused, and I want to give others that too!</p>
<p>ooh that's awesome</p>
<p>Katie! Thank you so much for answering ALL of my questions. You are very helpful. But i have ONE more and then i am done.</p>
<p>Did you bring your resume and headshot??</p>
<p>Thanks !!!!</p>
<p>~Singinstar52</p>
<p>Oh and katie, Hope you hear back from the school soon!!!! Best of Luck</p>
<p>~singinstar52</p>
<p>I had mailed my resume and headshot to them previously (they had mentioned that could be a good idea) but it didn't seem to make any difference, as I did bring a resume and headshot (it's actually good to bring a couple of copies) and they just used the one i brought with me.</p>
<p>And thank you! I have my fingers crossed....!</p>
<p>Good luck to you too! Keep us posted :)</p>
<p>Hey so i auditioned today, Jan 20th. And i had a such a great time. Everyone was sooo nice and the atmosphere was just wonderful. I was wondering if i met anyone who auditioned today. I was Denise, the girl with the black tunic with red shoes, headband and belt!!!! HAHA</p>
<p>~singinstar52</p>
<p>Yay singinstar! I am so glad it went well, congratulations!! We will be hoping to hear more good news for you soon :)</p>
<p>singinstar52:</p>
<p>I think I remember seeing you! I was the one with the red curly hair and the "Chillie Willie" penguin T-shirt on at the dance audition. I'm glad you had such a great time! My audition was unfortunately not great, so I'm expecting my rejection letter in February. Oh well, it was my very first audition and I can only learn and grow from there.</p>
<p>breakintosong---are you the one that sang wicked?
anddd singinstar--did you have like a red belt too?</p>
<p>DramaLady415:</p>
<p>Haha, definitely not! Wow, I didn't know someone sang Wicked. But I did hear someone singing "Shy".</p>
<p>yeah, this girl sang wicked and aida (I know...uhhh NO) BUT she actually sounded great--from the other side of the wall that is.</p>
<p>BreakIntoSong i think i do remember you. UARTS was my first audition too. Do not worry. What was so bad about your audition??? i am sure it was not as bad as you thought it was. Where else are you auditioning???</p>
<p>And DramaLady415: YES! i was the one with the red belt! How was your Audition???</p>
