<p>I had my Carnegie Mellon MT audition last weekend, and was surprised with how quickly my acting portion went. I talked to the auditor for a few minutes, then did my first monologue which she praised but did not coach or critique, and then the second with the same response. I’m used to being given some direction, regardless of how well I think it went. Does no coaching mean a bad audition? Does it mean a good one? I FELT really good about both pieces, but was just surprised not to have her try and change anything about the performance.</p>
<p>My D had hers last weekend, but she was acting, not MT, so I don’t know if it is different. She did 5 monologues for both adjudicators (she was taken by one to see the other), and was asked to sing. She was also asked by Barbara to “play” with one of her monologues (do it differently.) But maybe it is different for MT because you had so much more to do than the actors. She has, though, also had auditions where she did nothing. For CCM, she didn’t do anything with her monologues and most of the time was spent talking, so I think it just varies.</p>
