We are delighted to welcome you to the audition for Performing Arts at Kendal College.

The audition is a ‘snapshot’ of what you can do and will enable us to decide which programme best suits your development as a performer and theatremaker.

What you need to prepare for the audition/ interview:

Please select a monologue of your choice which is no longer than 2 minutes but is from memory. This can be from a play or a film.

AND

Select One of the following.

1. A choreographed dance routine of no more than 2 minutes.

2. A song of your choice (this can be with a backing track, accompanied or without music).

Tips to help you

Try to find a monologue with a character similar to your age range.
Decide who they are talking to and where they are in the space.
Think about putting in movement but know why you move a- don’t just move for the sake of it.
Please try to avoid an American accent.
You do not need to use any props unless you think they are essential.
You do not need to look at the audition tutor when acting.
Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.

We are not looking for perfection, but we are looking for something that shows you have potential. Please do not be nervous- this is not the X-Factor- we want you to do well and will support you.
