Practice makes perfect

You’ll do your best if you prepare and practice your audition piece: don’t just practice in your bedroom, perform all over the house! Make sure you show others and are comfortable with having an audience.

Be true to yourself

Choose monologues that YOU can relate to: aim for something contemporary and Australian that matches your age. Don’t worry about using an accent; we want to hear you and your voice.

Do your research

Try and read the play beforehand to understand the context of your monologue.

It’s all in the eyes

Engage with the audition panel and use eye contact when you’re performing. They want to see your confidence and focus!

Ask away

You will have the opportunity to ask questions at your interview so prepare some beforehand and bring them with you.

It’s time to shine

Arrive to the audition with an open mind and get ready to show off your skills. Don’t take suggestions and direction from the panel negatively, use them as an opportunity to show the diversity of your skills and take feedback on board.

Comfy is the new black

Wear comfortable black clothes that cover your body. Also, remember to wear comfy shoes that you can work on the floor with.

There’s no ‘I’ in team

Be prepared to work with others in a workshop – the panel will want to see how you focus on the task, how well you respond to others and communicate your ideas.

5 years from now…

Be prepared to talk about what you want to do with your art in the future – where do you see yourself?

Talk about the type of art/arts you are interested in? What else do you like: Music? Bands? Theatre? Knitting? Films? Cats? Footy?

Show and tell

Bring your recent work in a portfolio (within the last 3 years). If any pieces are too big, take good, clear photos of the work and bring these with you.

Ask away

Prepare some questions to ask the panel and really engage in the interview!

You don’t need to limit your work to art created for school assessment – bring a variety of pieces to show off the extent of your talent!
