Re: Auditioning for 2017

Belledancer, dd2 was in the same position as your dd 2 years ago. Dd2 wanted to go down the ballet route but when she was offered a place at age 17, realised it wasn't for her and that she wanted to audition for Musical Theatre. She had already decided she did not want to do A levels (we have a stro...

Re: Auditioning for 2017

Don't be so quick to turn down the unfunded offer of a Diploma place at Bird - dd2 got the same letter last year. We accepted the place and I put in a note on the acceptance letter to say that she would be unable to go without funding. Dd2 heard at the beginning of June last year that she had been a...

Re: Auditioning for 2017

Re: auditioning late I think it depends on the course you are applying for. Dd2 auditioned late last year as she was doing a part time Foundation course in Acting/Musical Theatre and part time at a local dance college (2 full days on her Foundation course and 3 full days in the dance college). She a...

Re: September 2016 starters

How's it going?
Dd2's loving Bird and has settled well although finds the weekends boring (she does her washing,food shop and food prep for the week ahead).
She's coming home this weekend :) Looking forward to a catch up.

Re: September 2016 starters

We're taking Dd2 to Sidcup tomorrow (she starts next Friday). Hope we can fit everything in the car :) She's already organised to meet a friend on Sunday in London (her friend started at Urdang this week).
Enjoy the ride everyone:)
About to do it all over again with Dd1 - must be crazy :)

Disney auditions

Dd has an audition for a Disney Park as an Actor.
She's been given a monologue and short excerpt in another language to learn.
We haven't found any information about what to expect from an Acting audition.
Has anyone got any advice/experience or also attending?

Gap Year?

DD1 is 20 (although very young looking -at auditions 17 year olds thought she was their age). She has been unsuccessful in auditions so far but she now knows which places she likes and she feels would suit her. When is the best time to try again (auditions)? She already has nannying jobs lined up pl...

Re: Auditioning for 2016

Not sure about nerves of steel, but relieved dd2 is sorted (she really didn't expect Bird and was in total shock when they phoned and offered her a DaDA). Just got to go through it all again with dd1. Ds starts at a music college this September - he's also done an audition with his Band and they now...

Re: What to do at 18 - places but reserve lists

Performers told me that dd was in the top quarter of the reserve list of 80. When pressed, they said she was no.20.
She won't stay on the reserve list now as she will go to Bird :)
