| auditions
We felt that way especially about the Ithaca auditions. Prior to the auditions in NYC there was a presentation for parents and students - presented in a very negative way, pointing out minute details, early hour classes, consequences of being late twice, cut-backs, being un-invited if
"you don't seem to be growing sufficiently in acting skills", and, basically,well if you still want to come here go ahead and audition! Even though many places may have some of these rules - and they did seem to be more stringent here - I think it is counter-productive to present them right before auditions.
Then they had warm-ups for everyone ,but since they went in alphabetical order many of the students auditioned one to three hours after the warm-ups - so why warm up? Anyway, by the time our d's audition took place
she was both discouraged by the speech and UN warmed-up... |
