<p>The San Francisco unifieds were on February 9, which consisted of very few schools. I auditioned for North Carolina School of the Arts and was a few minutes late for the informational session that began a little after 10AM. For the time slot of 11AM auditions, there were only 3 guys. Me and two other students. The auditors were very informative and fun to listen to. They talked about the intention of the curriculum and what they expected of their students/what to expect of the school.</p>
<p>With that said, they sent us outside and I was the second to audition. They sat me down and asked me some questions about where I lived (San Quentin) by the infamous prison in California; they also asked how tall I was, my age, what school I was attending/what I was studying there and what pieces I would be performing. </p>
<p>I then performed my three monologues quite fluidly, or so I thought and they were quite focused on their notes as I auditioned. I then performed by 16 bar ballad and I sat down once more to talk to them. One of them told me I had a very nice voice and if I had studied privately. They also asked about some other things they saw on my resume. They asked me how I heard about NCARTS and I told them (as they mentioned Erich Bergen earlier in the session) that I read Erich Bergen's playbill Bio for Jersey Boys. And I also mentioned a few other people told me about the prestige of the school. They thanked me, I thanked them. And that was that. </p>
<p>I got rejected from all 4 schools last year that I auditioned for and this year, I only auditioned for one this year. I hope I can be accepted this year. If not, I'm perfectly willing to study wherever I can acquire the skill from! Good luck to everyone! Best Wishes!</p>
