Music Auditions by Recording

We can accept recordings on VHS video, DVD or CD. If your recording is audio only, please ask one of your referees to provide a written verification of authenticity. Your recording should include performances of two contrasting pieces and you should take care to select pieces that allow you to demonstrate the full extent of your ability. In total, your performance should last approximately 10 minutes. Please send your recording to the address below.

Drama Auditions by Recording

As it might be difficult for you to attend an audition in person, we are able to make an initial assessment of your application on the basis of a recording. If you would prefer to do this, please send a DVD or video (PAL) recording to the address below by 15th January 2011. However, you should be aware that we are sometimes unable to make a firm offer of a place on the basis of a recording alone and if you are shortlisted, you could be asked to attend a final audition in person.

To ensure that you fully understand the audition requirements, whether you are auditioning in person or by recording, please visit the Auditions Guidance page which can be found under the Course pages.
