Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
I'd love to know that. I joined here because I saw no end of older students at my DD's drama group apply to the drama schools aged 18, not get in and decide to do something else instead.Live_thedream wrote:With all the talk of "will this be the year", I wonder how many parents on here have got stories to tell how many years their DCs spent trying to get into the place of their dreams.
I am a 2nd year parent.
So, I joined and read and read and started to understand the process and I've explained to DD (aged 14) that a first offer when she's 18 (especially for straight acting) is going to be highly unlikely, that she needs to think of it as a few year process, perhaps having to look into a foundation year first.
I'm grateful to all of you who explain and share their stories. Huge congratulations to those with offers and good luck to those still awaiting an outcome.

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
Congratulations to your DS Sherbert. The wait was worthwhile and you must be over the moon!
Wishing lots of luck and love to those on reserve lists. It is so hard but everything will work itself out and your DC's will end up at the best place for them even if they have to wait a year or accept a place that wasn't their favourite to start with. Xxx

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments xx
Felicity - my son asked his friend who is at trinity (from last years reserve list) and she said there is no rhyme or reason to it really - unfortunately they told her she just had to sit tight and wait - she did say though that alot of her year were from reserves as people do drop in and out as other offers come along - even though Trinity is covered by the student loan - if they want a particular place like arts ed or mountview and it comes along they tend to go there instead
Hope that helps a bit xx

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
Congrats to Sherberts DS- must be such a relief to have such a great place for next year.
My DD is also on the MT foundation at Mountview and has learnt so much and had a great time there.
Arts Ed she didn’t make the cut but she is on the reserve for Trinity and the shortlist for RCS.
Also has recalls for GSA and MV but they aren’t for a month so she is still very much in limbo.
Keeping everything crossed that she will get a place somewhere.
Good luck to all the others still waiting!

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
Congrats Sherbert. What a relief. He will be able to relax and carry on enjoying the foundation.
Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
Ok so DD has decided she will go for Hammond and although we think we are auditioning too late she's going again to give it her all x Any advice on what the audition is like? Advice appreciated. Last audition!
Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018
Hi Marissa
I believe it is the monologues in front of the group, songs just in front of the panel and then a cut. A dance call then a cut and then an interview.
Hope that is helpful
