DRAMA CAPA AUDITION CRITERIA AND REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL CRITERIA that candidates will be assessed on for DRAMA

Advice for DRAMA AUDITION VIDEO submissions:

• An Introduction Video is not required for Drama 

• Prepare a 2 - 3 minute monologue and submit a Video Audition self-tape. 

• There is no need for theatrical enhancements or fancy editing, just keep the audition video simple by focusing on performance skills (timing, voice and movement) and characterisation (focus and conviction). It is important to engage the audience.

• It is preferable to perform one of our suggested monologues or you can source your own. 

•  If choosing your own monologue scripted or devised, your monologue must contain appropriate content.

Suggested monologues can be downloaded below
