AADA Audition & Interview Process

Entry into AADA is by audition



Your audition is an opportunity for you to show us your potential for success in.
We like to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere so we get to see you at your best.
We ask you to set aside around 2 hours for your audition.

Warm Up
You’ll be part of a group warm-up with physical, vocal and improvisational games to make you feel comfortable and show us your willingness to have fun in a group.

Perform
We’d like you to prepare a 2-minute contemporary monologue in advance of your audition. In addition, you may wish to sing a short unaccompanied song.

Write
We’d like you to bring us an A4 page of thoughts about a recent live performance or film you’ve seen and loved. Be sure to say why you enjoyed it.

Discuss
We’d like to chat with you about your interest and love of the performing arts. You may also like to bring a portfolio of work you’ve done.

Contact
The Head or Coordinator of AADA will contact you personally within 7 days regarding the outcome of your audition. This initial contact may be by phone or email. In the case of a successful outcome, Student Services will mail to you a letter making you a formal offer of a place in the course.
