Auditions and Applications
Applications for 2012 courses are in the final stages. If you are enquiring about 2012 entry please call 02 9213 4500 immediately.
Professional Actor Program Auditions
This the Advanced Diploma of Arts in Stage and Screen Acting. Auditions consist of two stages: In Stage One you will perform your monologues to a panel. Selected applicants will then be invited to attend Stage Two, which is usually held later on the same day – no additional preparation is required for stage two. You will be required to prepare three monologues for your audition. Two pieces should be selected from our approved booklets and your third monologue can be one of your own choosing. One piece may be Shakespearean but it is not a set requirement of the audition. If you are a singer, you may also be asked to sing a few verses of a song acapella. If you have already prepared monologues from other leading acting institutions with which you are confident, you may be able to use these in your auditions for ACTT, but you must contact us in advance.
Keep in mind that the panel wants to see you at your best, so make choices that appeal to you but that also suit you (age, type, nationality etc). To show your acting range, select strongly contrasting pieces. Your pieces should be no longer than two minutes. Do not use audition pieces you have devised or written yourself, or ones that are extracted from poems or novels. Please keep your selection to established monologues.

Music Theatre Auditions
All applicants are required to prepare two contrasting music theatre songs of your own choosing (one up-tempo and one ballad) and one contemporary monologue which should be no longer than 2-3 minutes. Prepare your monologue in a neutral accent. You will also be required to participate in a short dance/movement workshop but you do not have to prepare a dance routine. A studio will be provided for your warmup exercises prior to the audition time.
Please bring a photocopy of the sheet music for the songs that you will be singing, making sure it is in the correct key. An accompanist will be provided. Backing tapes cannot be used in the audition. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for participation in the dance section of the audition.
