Hello, it took a long while for me to hear back too - I only found out about last week I had been recalled and that audition took place soon after, so it seems perhaps they're running a bit late with regards to getting back to people this year! Definitely still a chance she may be recalled as I have only just been recalled! Wishing your daughter all the best.

That's fantastic news! Well done to your daughter! Mine was indeed on Zoom too. It was a straightforward audition and the panel were v friendly. I did a third round recently also on Zoom, as apparently the London dates had finished (I previously selected London should I be recalled as it's much easier for me to get to). So unfortunately I couldn't audition in person for the third round. Perhaps may be something to anticipate!

It does seem like the audition process has been delayed this year - I don't recall it being this way for previous years, so maybe it's just a one-off.

Hello! My third round Zoom recall was really fun and the panel were lovely. We had to prepare a short scene (just one of the characters) and a new monologue from a selection they sent by email. They provided me with the short scene and the character I should play too. These are all fairly short pieces and so not too difficult to prepare/remember if you have to learn them in a short period of time. I remember we did a warm up with the two panelists and various exercises with the other auditionees which were a lot of fun (there were only two other applicants auditioning alongside me). I also did my short scene with a former student of RCS who was sitting in on the audition, and we presented them to the other applicants/panelists and were given re-direction. There was also a chance to ask him questions about the training, school etc.
Afterwards, we all had our separate auditions/interviews with the panel alone and presented our prepared monologue. It was a relaxed yet focused experience really, and I would say to throw yourself into everything and really show your ability to work in a team if you can. Make clear choices for your monologue too and have fun with the piece :smile:

Don't overthink it, it will all be okay!

I remember second round recalls are usually more brief and you (usually) don't have to prepare anything extra, I just did my speeches and had a short interview the panel and maybe some redirection. I hope this helps! Wishing you so much luck.
