THE AUDITION PROCESS

Approximately 24 students are accepted into Year One. Actors Centre Australia honours our contract and commitment to each of them. Our aim is to graduate every person at industry standard and also at each individual’s highest level of artistic and personal excellence.

Many students have travelled from around Australia, New Zealand and throughout the world to participate in the course. 

THESE ACTORS SHOULD APPLY:

• a passion and belief in the power of performance 
• commitment to modern contemporary training  
• believe in a rigorous, respectful environment  
• dedicated to embracing professional demands  
• deeply curious and passionate about their artistic calling  
• dedicated to the industry and to creating a career of which they would be proud

APPLICANTS REQUIRE:

• High level of talent and aptitude in the performing arts
• Good level of fitness
• HSC or equivalent 
• High level of English literacy
• Applicants must be 18yrs or older at course commencement
• Australian passport, Australian residency or Visa for the duration of the course

NOTE: ACA does not have CRICOS status and as such cannot assist a student in gaining a visa. A visa covering the duration of the course must be obtained independently of ACA.

YOUR EFFECTIVE AUDITION 

For us to best respond to your work we require two contrasting monologues of your choice - one Shakespeare piece and one contemporary piece. Each choice should be no more than two and a half minutes and should reflect the kind of roles in which you see yourself cast. The audition panel will generally consist of the Director of the course, along with Heads of Departments and various teaching staff.

Please allow approximately 4hrs for the audition. There are two sessions each day beginning at 9.30am and 2pm.

Call-back Workshops are the next stage in the audition process. You will be contacted if we require you to attend this round of workshops. These will include improvisation, body and vocal exercises. Please allow up to 5hrs for the callback workshop.

The audition environment will be supportive and dynamic, allowing you to be fully effective and to work with a sense of pride and achievement. Welcome to our way of fostering artistic productivity.
