This subject is designed to prepare students for their entry into professional life. Students will work on audition preparation and technique across the three core skills areas, including participation in simulated auditions. On completion of this subject students will have a clear understanding of the form and standard expected at professional Music Theatre auditions, the extent and range of prepared repertoire of both songs and monologues they should have, as well as the preparation and application required for dance calls. In second semester this subject will encompass rehearsal and performance of Industry Showcase to which agents, producers, directors and other key professionals will be invited. The content of Showcase will be created and shaped according to the individual strengths and skills of the student cohort.
