Performing Arts/Drama/Acting/etc Applicants 2013

Hello,
Has anyone had their audition for BA Acting at Manchester Met or Guildford School of Acting yet?
Just wondering what they're like as im waiting for my audition dates!

Hello
I've applied for BA acting at Man Met and have my audition next Thursday if that helps at all? i applied on UCAS about a month ago and they got back to me pretty quickly!
And I haven't applied for BA acting at GSA but i did apply for Musical Theatre there, and my audition is this Wednesday - not sure if thats helpful or not!

Hi

Hope I have the right thread here Now that GSA is part of the university of surrey does anyone know if that means I can apply to student finance for the £9000 tuition fees and loans
thanks

Hi, ooh sorry I didn't see you're reply. I've got central on Tuesday the 17th. I haven't auditioned before. A couple of my friends have, one who is currently at Mountview on the BA mt course and he didn't get past the first round. Yeah to be honest the foundation was good in a way but only 1 girl from our class of 20 actually got into Mountview. The first term is learning the skills, the second is auditioning and by then a lot of the places have filled up! How was te dance at Mountview? I've only ever auditioned when they've split you into two groups, what are the corner exercises? I have GSA tomorrow! You too??? Good luck, maybe ill see you. I have longish red hair. Xxxxx

So my GSA went well, I don't know what more I could have done but I just have to wait and see now! Waiting is the worst bit - probably worse than the audition itself! So we went into the grand foyer and signed in then sat around for a bit, I sat and admired all the students and looked to see if I could fit in with them all. We were then all called to go and stand by the door and a lady took us out of the building to the on site theatre (take your coat, I left mine with my mum and subsequently FROZE!). We were then led up stairs to wait and there was the usual chatter, "how far has everyone come?" "how many times have you auditioned?" we were then taken into a massive white studio. There were seats set out in a semi-circle facing a table with two chairs and the pianist was in the corner. On the panel was Michael Moor (Head of MT) and Elissa Morgan (Vocal Coach). They gave us a quick chat, told us there were 2,000 auditioning for 30 places!!! thanks for the encouragement haha! Michael then introduced himself and told us what we would be doing. We then all stood near the piano and did a quick vocal warm up. We then sat down and went up one by one to sing our song. I went with choices but was the only one, everyone else just took up one song. He said he wouldn't stop us unless it was unbelieveabley long, 3 minutes was about the longest. He said to use the entire space and pretend we were on stage. After everyone performed he asked us each a little about ourselves and then it was done! We then just all made our way out and went our seperate ways. There were 12 in my group. Then staright after there was another group of 12. By no means was it a singing class and it was very different to the GSA auditions I've done before.

Hope that helped!

Hi all!

So I'm having some trouble. The first being that I want to apply to both Guildhall and RADA, but both have auditions in New York (Guildhall in January RADA in March) and I don't think I can afford to trek out their twice. I live in Los Angeles but lived in London for some time prior. Both programs seem great, and I'm trying gauge which one is better for me and more worth applying to... but I can't rule one out really.

I'm applying to Central because aside from being a great school, I have a contact there. However, my contact told me I should perhaps apply for the MA Acting course since I will be 23 in the fall and have experience (but no BA. However he said BA is not always necessary).

Does anyone know if the MA Acting is as good as the BA Acting at Central? I'm worried it's a Masters course they just lump in that doesn't have the same rep or instruction as the BA.

Also anyone with knowledge of Guildhall and RADA's differences, both in terms of the programs and the auditions would be very helpful.
