Musical theatre student Danielle Remulta shares her advice to students below!

As the saying goes, “Preparation is key”! The more confident you are with your audition pieces, the more you can enjoy your audition day! Know your pieces back to front and make sure you can sing your songs in your sleep. Showing your best self can shine out of how prepared and confident you are in the room!

Availability
Start planning ahead and make sure you’re available for audition week! Try not to schedule things during that time, and move things around if you can. You will want every part of you to focus on the audition and not be distracted.

Do your research
This year, Open House is taking place online until 1 October. This gives you more time and freedom to explore our degrees, student life, and support services from home. Our academics are online every Tuesday and Thursday from 4 — 6 pm, which gives you the perfect opportunity to talk to us one on one.

Head to our virtual reality page to get a tour of our South Bank campus! Another great way to explore the Con is by visiting our Life at the Conservatorium series where current students share their experience and advice to future students.
