I recently auditioned for the 16 member UT Austin acting program. I wasn’t interviewed right before my audition but afterwards thank goodness. When I sat down for my interview they looked at my resume and noticed that I was currently in a play they had just recently performed. “A Streetcar Named Desire” They asked numerous questions about how I personally felt about the play, the character I was (Blanche Dubois), and the significance of the play in American society. They asked me what acting meant to me, where I saw myself in 10 years, why UT Austin and not other schools out of state, and what other programs i’m considering/have been accepted into. What I really enjoyed about UT’s interview process is that I had to come up with a question to ask them specifically. They gave me a chance to be the interviewer myself. I asked them what they believe makes a great actor and asked how they strive to make their students just that. That threw me for a loop and it took me awhile to come up with a question I actually wanted an answer to. Needless to say, 3 days afterwards I found out that I was accepted.
