Stella Mann College, a major UK graduate performance college

AUDITION CRITERIA

The following are a guide to the requirements of the courses on offer, and therefore what is assessed in audition. Stella Mann College assesses potential and raw talent as well as prior training. Musical Theatre candidates should consider singing their greatest strength and dance candidates a dance genre.

VOCAL ABILITY

All Musical Theatre candidates will be required to sing at audition. Pitch, range, clarity, technique and interpretation will be assessed.

ACTING ABILITY

Candidates who are interested in the dance course may choose to perform a monologue at audition rather than a song. Musical Theatre candidates are required to perform both. Diction, projection, characterisation, and presence will all be taken into consideration.

DANCE ABILITY

Candidates are assessed for potential as well as prior training. A lack of experience in a dance genre does not preclude entry to the course.

SENSE OF PERFORMANCE AND ARTISTRY

Confident performance and artistic interpretation of different styles and genre are assessed throughout the audition. The college is always interested in 'performers' who show flair and individuality.

ACCESSIBILITY

Stella Mann College will do whatever it can to accommodate the access arrangements and support needed by any disabled candidate who is accepted onto the courses on offer. The College is fully accessible on the ground floor, and houses adapted facilities. There are several studios in the remainder of the building which are not accessible to wheelchair/scooter users or those with mobility impairments.

Stella Mann College promotes individuality and difference and welcomes applications from people from under-represented groups.
