Re: Auditioning for 2022 entry

Hi, Congratulations to everyone with offers so far, and fingers crossed for those still waiting to hear. We will be embarking on the audition road next year so I’m reading every post with enthusiasm.

We’re really struggling with this and wondered if anyone could give us some tips on how t...

Re: Auditioning for 2021 entry

Pleased she's enjoying it islandofsodor. I agree that some dance places don't give enough emphasise on the singing and acting side of things even if their course is called MT. Last year daughter rand friend auditioned somewhere that's often spoken on here positively. It turned out to be the only in...

I think fresh pineapple every morning also helps.
Thank you. Dd would prefer a small, portable one. Interesting about the pineapple :)

Vocal steamer or nebuliser?

Hi, I am considering buying a vocal steamer or nebuliser for dd and I am not sure which one I should go for. Just wondering if any dd’s / ds’s use them and I would be interested to hear pros and cons for both. I came across an article saying that nebulisers are more effective, but they carry vapor f...

How long does it take to hear about your callback, its been a week? Personally, I would check with the age...

Re: Lesser known performing art 6th forms

I just wondered if anyone knew of any lesser known 6th form colleges that offer musical theatre courses equivalent to A levels? We know about the well known ones like Emil Dale, Arts Ed, Urdang, etc but my daughter is keen to not do academic A levels (at least not only A levels) and we want to look...

I came across this article, not sure how true it is, but it makes sense. It made me wonder if performing arts colleges have any classroom ventilation during classes.

Re: Has COVID changed your DC training/career plans?

My dd is currently in Year 11 and will be starting performing arts sixth form next year. To be honest this whole situation made me wonder if this is the right path for her to take. She is doing well at school and could take an academic career path if she wanted to. I have always been supportive and ...

Hi, we’re looking for colleges that offer the BTEC musical theatre equivalent to 3 A levels for my DD who is currently in year 10. We have a couple of local ones that have a good reputation but want to spend the near year and half looking at a few others as well. Am open to my DD leaving home if it...

Re: Youth a Production cost advice

From what I understand they normally charge £70-75. I personally wouldn’t want to pay more than that.
