Music Auditions by Recording
Your audition should be a visual file and should open with a
verbal account of your experience and aims for the future. If your
recording is audio only, you must 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. The recording must clearly show you
playing your instrument without any obstruction.
A short verbal introduction of each piece is required.
Presentation (dress, deportment and general stage demeanour) will
be taken into account by academic staff assessing your
audition.
If it is impossible for you to produce a visual recording you
may be able to submit an audio recording. An audio recording will
not be accepted unless at least one of your referees provides
written confirmation of the reasons you are unable to produce a
visual recording & written verification of authenticity of the
recording.
Please send this 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 February 3, 2012. 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.
