Music Theatre Audition Masterclass

The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts continues its acclaimed Music Theatre Audition Masterclass to help demystify what can be a daunting process – the musical audition.
Tired of “just missing out”? This class offers insights for Professional & Amateur Performers, as well as Teachers, & potential WAAPA students.
The Masterclass is held annually in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide, and conducted by permanent staff members of WAAPA’s Music Theatre Department. For the first time the class will also be available in Auckland, New Zealand.
The three-hour session includes mock auditions for singing, acting, and dance, and prepares auditionees for all challenges from ‘cattle-call’ to ‘callback’. Whilst not a singing lesson, selected participants are used to demonstrate successful singing & acting approaches, and the session concludes with everyone experiencing a rigorous dance callback.
“An invaluable experience” Nancye Hayes
“Three of Australia’s top Music Theatre Practitioners” Tony Sheldon
