2008 Auditions

We just auditioned at Roosevelt today. We found it odd that there was only one person in the room. They had a crappy CD player and the guy was so busy writing notes; he hardly looked up to watch my D's acting audition until the last part of her second monologue. We spoke with others and they said the same thing. What really perplexes me is that they were way ahead of schedule so they had plenty of time between songs to take notes or at least between songs and the monologue! Also, the least they could have done was videotape it! There was more than one guy judging the auditions so I have no idea how they can compare performers. I see where this could be good or bad depending on that individual's opinon. The people there were very nice and the kids loved the dance audition. I'd love to hear a school Rep explain this (the grading process), anyone out there?

I auditioned at Unfieds in Chicago and actually liked only auditioning for one auditor! It really made it more personal AND I feel it gave me more confidence for some weird reason.

Normally, I'm all for one auditor aswell, but this guy was very quiet and really didn't look up like MTDad said. He was very strange. But the dance audition was amazing. I am a sad excuse for a dancer and the gentleman teaching it was very laid back and let us have fun with it, it was great.

I have my fingers crossed for Roosevelt, I want to got there soo bad.

The guy at my audition at the LA Unifieds was totally nice! He was welcoming and attentive and complimentary. Asked me questions about my training, totally chill.

Thats so weird. Hahaha.

My son auditioned during Unifieds. He really loved Roosevelt and was concerned based on how the audition went, since the auditor seemed cool and almost aloof, but still nice/cordial. We were told that it is usual for an auditor not to look up and to focus on their paper or their notes. Some find it easier to concentrate on what they're hearing and some prefer not to risk making eye contact, as if you were on stage. Bottom line, he just got his acceptance, today, which was pretty exciting, especially since it followed 4 rejections from other top schools.

Most of my auditions the auditors seemed indifferent to me at the most but in CCPA's audition i felt like he was interested and impressed. It was a great first audition for the year

(i had auditioned for several colleges last year and failed to make a good connection to any)
