Yes, you can still be accepted to Tisch without having been invited to the Saturday in the Square event. That invitation just went to selected students in the admissions pool. Decisions should be out on or about April 1.

NYU Audition in Atlanta- Sunday, February 18

I was a bit nervous going to the NYU audition, just from its prestigious reputation and such. BUT It was actually very simple and I left feeling very good about my audition.

I auditioned in Atlanta, I had to be at the Sheraton Buckhead (great name huh?) Hotel at 10AM. There were only 12 artistic reviews for the 10AM slot (There was also a 2PM slot). They brought all 12 of us and whoever came with us into a small (very small) room, where we filled out an audition form (just to fill out your audition pieces-songs & monologues). They had water & brochures available. There were 2 reps from NYU. One guy and one lady, I think both were current Tisch teachers? The guy talked briefly about NYU and the Tisch setting, and the demanding academic nature of the program. The lady (who was so nice!) then described each of the 8 Tisch acting studios. They wanted us to have in mind which studios we were interested in, and if we would accept any other besides CAP21.

After that, they announecd that half of us would audition with the guy and half with the girl. They called out the names and read them (that was the order of the auditions). I auditioned 2nd for the lady's group.

I walked in with my boom box (haha) and she told me I could put it on a chair in the back. SInce we already had written our audition pieces down, we did not have to announce them (which was nice, actually). I went straight into the songs and then did one monologue after the other. It seemed like she wrote a lot (but "don't interpret anything from the audition process"). After you perform, I sat across from her at a table and there was a quick interview. Let me say, she was SO nice! She seemed genuinely interested in what I was saying. One of the questions was about studios - I said I was only interested in CAP21. Other questions were about school, community service, books, etc.

Then we were done! Quick & Simple (kinda nice not have to wait around- I guess this is what unifieds are like?)

Advice:
-Don't forget the boombox (I think this is crazy to have to bring your own, and I felt kinda stupid carrying a boombox into the hotel haha), but you could probably use someone else's if you forgot. ??
-Be honest in your interview. That's what they said they wanted.

In conclusion, the guy definitely spoke about the rigor of the academics involved in the program, and the lady was very genuine and nice and supportive. I left with a good feeling, I hope it was this way for everyone.

Does anyone have the exact adress for auditions in new york? Silly question, but the website does not say and I havn't received any sort of confirmation e-mail telling me where to go (though I do know my audition is scheduled).

When I registerred online for the Atlanta audition, they sent me an automatic confirmation ASAP (back in Oct or Nov) and that included all of the location information (address, time, audition requirements, etc). I didn't receive anything besides that.

It depends, some people have theirs in the Tisch Building (I did) while others have it at Chelsea Studios...so I don't know where your's is. I recommend calling Tisch, they will be able to help you more than I.

Is it a problem if the auditioner didnt ask me about my monologues/ the plays they were from? We talked mostly about academics/ activities... Also, when I mentioned studio preferences she didn't agree or disagree, she just wrote it down...

Any thoughts?

ouch288 · 02-20-2007, 08:27 AM

at my audition same was true, mostly activities/school talk. for studio ?, i stated what studios i was interested n and validated them, if u prove ur point here is no room 4 ?ing

babygiraffeboots · 02-20-2007, 06:16 PM

I auditioned in Atlanta. I was first in the lady's group. The wierdest question was: what is your favorite science?

byorkman · 02-21-2007, 11:06 PM

Hey Mackie45 which day did you audition in Atlanta? Are you also auditioning for Mary-Mount?

kyle style · 02-22-2007, 06:22 AM

Yes! She asked me what my favorite science was, too, lol... And I was completely honest in the interview i said: "Definitely physics because it's mostly math, and not science. I'm not a science person" She was very nice though. Mackie were you on Saturday or Sunday? I was 2nd in the lady's group on Sunday @ 10. Maybe I went right after you?

Mackie45 · 02-22-2007, 11:41 AM

I went on Saturday @ 2. My answer for the science thing was environmental science. Of course, she had to ask the follow up question: why? Which is when, i am sure, i said the wrong thing. I said that most of the other sciences are governed by the discoveries of old men. I went on to say that Environmental Science is much more "in the now" than say, biology. I thought that she was offended because she said "well, people are discovering new things in biology everyday". That was the end of that. lol. Everything else went very well though. I think... And yes, I am auditioning for Marymount on march 4th.
How many questions were you guys asked during the interview? She asked me maybe 5 or 6 questions.
