Re: New Thread for actual destinations!!

DS is going to Manchester School of Theatre to do BA Acting, he only found out on Friday :D So pleased for him after two years of auditions and, this year, lots of recalls and offers of foundations, but now he's got what he wants. Well done to everyone who has places but to all those who haven't pe...

Re: Foundation courses

Good luck to both DCs for their Central auditions ... DD didn't audition there until the very last date available and got a recall so I think there will still be places left ... she loved it there and found the audition really useful ... hoping things fall into place for them both ... there's still...

Re: Foundation courses

DD is at Central on I think 3 April for MT although as you say they consider for both. Its MT that she really wants though. Luckily at Central they don't do much dancing at the first audition unless they have changed it this year. Hopefully her foot will be okay or at least be a bit better for then....

Re: Foundation courses

That is disappointing for your ds NigelBen. My dd is having similar frustrations this year also. She strained her ligaments in her right foot the week she had 3 auditions (the day before Trinity and 2 days before Arden) so rejections from them and and not even a recall at GSA this year (which was he...

Re: Auditions: cuts and recalls/2nd Auditions

Must admit I am surprised at Bird, Laine and Urdang wanting you to be fully groomed, make up on etc, although dd has never applied for these places anyway. I know at GSA that at the recall you have to wear proper ballet stuff such as leotards have your hair in a bun wear ballet tights etc and clothe...

Re: Auditions: cuts and recalls/2nd Auditions

Hi all, My DD is in the beginning of her audition round this year (third year .... and she's pre-voc at Performers and her course leader has told the students it is a tough year this year with really strong auditionees being seen. DD has told me she thinks she has made some mistakes previously, suc...

Re: Auditions: cuts and recalls/2nd Auditions

Thanks Dorothy, yes, DS auditions still a lot better than last year, he's had recalls everywhere apart from Royal Welsh and still has 4 preliminaries to go. He's very pleased as he's through to the final round for Drama Centre so really excited about that one, so going in the right direction at the...

Re: Auditions: cuts and recalls/2nd Auditions

Sorry to hear about GSA Dorothy, but how they decide on such a short preliminary audition I really don't know. DS went for the Cardiff audition last year for GSA MT as then he was in two minds as to whether to do MT or acting and he felt he was given no chance to really show his talent, such a lott...

Re: Auditions: cuts and recalls/2nd Auditions

You apply on UCAS. Think the fees are around £8500 per year (maybe £9,000 but no more) . Its a 3 year BA (Hons) degree course so you can get full student loans. No top up fees

Re: Auditions: cuts and recalls/2nd Auditions

Thanks everyone. Yes first round audition at GSA was just a song. She waited for the GSA Manchester audition because you are only there for a few minutes to do a song . It is so costly to travel and stay in Guildford for that length of time so its not worth going to Guildford unless you get a recall...

Re: Auditions: cuts and recalls/2nd Auditions

Thanks for the kind words. Yes its very much a lottery as to what they want. As she got a recall last year I think she thought/hoped that she would this year as well but maybe there aren't too many places left. Who know. I like Chichester and it looks a really good course. She still has a few doubts...

Re: Auditions: cuts and recalls/2nd Auditions

Well fingers crossed. Lets hope they both get their dream place at least your ds will probably get to know at the recall. Hope it goes well. My dd really loved it there last year and really enjoyed the recall. Not even a recall this year for GSA for dd. Anyway hope the recall goes well for your ds....

Re: Auditions: cuts and recalls/2nd Auditions

Dd waiting to hear from Trinity and Arden also. She had a busy week last week with auditions. Also has Central to do as well. Is your ds already at GSA then ? doing the foundation? Has he had any other auditions/offers. My dd has had one offer so far from Chichester MT Triple Threat which is one bet...
