Are you planning to audition for a tertiary Musical Theatre course? Find out what it takes to audition successfully at one of our Musical Theatre Audition Workshops.
The workshops are open to applicants in years 11 and above who want to develop auditioning skills in Musical Theatre.
Successful participants will work in detail with our expert musical theatre staff in intensive small-group sessions and learn the essentials of auditioning processes, techniques, etiquette, and material selection. They will also learn a short dance routine; take part in mock auditions; work on prepared individual singing and acting repertoire and hear from performance professionals and current students about their own audition experiences, both within the QAEMT Bachelor of Musical Theatre program and the industry itself.
The QAEMT Musical Theatre Audition Workshops, held in our studios at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) are a fundamental experience for those preparing for a career in musical theatre.
