Any views or experience please regarding the MTA and the quality/reputation of its Diploma? x

I think every agency, somewhere, has someone who could come up with something negative to say about them. Look how happy everyone seems to be with Top Talent but our experience with them was a complete nightmare. It's life I guess - you can please some of the people some of the time....

OK fellow NAPMs, here's the question... ROUTE A - straightforward BTEC level 3 extended diploma in the Performing Arts (2 years full time) ROUTE B - as above PLUS a Trinity level 6 diploma (3 years full time) Hopeful destination - BA in Musical Theatre If the destination you dream of is requesting 3...

I can't thank you enough for all your advice. There is certainly a lot to think about but others' experiences and views all help towards an informed decision. Again, happy 2017 to you and your DCs x

Sorry, I meant to post this in the Dance/Training section. Apologies x

Hi everyone, Please may I dip into your wisdom yet again? My son has performed in professionals shows since he was 11 thanks to open auditions in the Midlands, for which we are most grateful. However, the world of performing is not one we really know and, as such, he has only come to official dance ...

Currently studying this minefield myself :shock: Am I right in thinking that with the relevant diplomas in place, you can leave Laines after one year with a full BA(hons) in MT? Considering what we all know about the business (and what our youngsters don't heed! ](*,) ) is a degree in Performing Art...

We don't live in London and I know a lot of auditions need to be a certain distance from London. I am wondering if there are other similar musical theatre auditions etc away from london. If that makes sense! Keep an eye on professional theatres "local" to you as they will put out open aud...

In terms of studying Musical Theatre later on, auditions will include ballet so that is important and tap is also a useful skill. A jazz section is also included in many auditions and certainly at DDs college is a subject taught on the MT course. This is not to say that your DS ought to do jazz if ...

By daughters have been with Top Talent this past year and have had no end of castings. Unfortunately we can no longer commit to traveling to London for the castings as it just costs us too much- train fares from the north at the last minute are stupid money. They really are great. I'd have no hesit...

How old is he? I don't know much about theatrecraft but from looking on the internet I get the impression that with idta modern is just jazz so they have theatrecraft as well which covers a larger range of styles. ISTD modern is modern theatre dance and then they have jazz as a sort of subsection f...

SO confusing. What are NAPM's thoughts on IDTA Theatre Craft too please? DS came late to dance and wants to study what's best for Musical Theatre studies later on. Currently he's doing IDTA Tap and Theatre Craft at Grade 3 and just started ballet. 'Does that sound about right? We are neither affluen...

With KM casting's recent open casting, I would imagine that they have seen the vast majority of available talent! I'm sure that anyone who was seen in Manchester or London auditions need not apply. Are they just using this to promote it in advance and then casting known actors? Or am I just cynical...

Mmm... the cynic in me is wondering whether the Manchester auds were just some kind of lip service or mop-up opportunity? REALLY hope I'm completely wrong.

Wow, thank you so much pg for the fab advice which we have taken on board. Lots of thinking and viewing to do now prior to picking up the phone.
Much obliged to you
