Dance colleges and singing!

Hi everyone,

I had my audition for two major dance colleges last week and I will be receiving my letter from them very soon.
I gained good feedback and during my interview they said my dancing was at a high standard but my singing was the weakest subject. After I sang my song, they said I had a good voice but needed more technical training as there was a lot of tension when I sang certain parts.

I am now constantly doubting that I will be accepted due to my singing and the fact I don't have much technique.
He also said that some people come to the college being more confident dancers and less of a singer and vice versa.
It is just annoying because I know how important being an all rounder is nowadays!

Have you or anyone else's daughters been accepted to a 3 year course at a top college but been unable to sing very well?

I would love to hear from you all.

DD is in her first year of a 3 yr acting course at LIPA and she was definitely NOT a good or confident singer when she auditioned. After the first couple of auditions, she did have a few lessons to help with her singing technique which really helped with her later auditions. However she has improved hugely with proper training this past year ... so unless you are auditioning for a straight MT course I wouldn't worry too much. Good luck with your auditions.
