Assessment of this evidence will be carried out from 19:30 on 16th October 2019 as part of the Progression evening and will be a performance / presentation of your appropriate audition / interview material)
This page is where you need to provide evidence of you DOING things to prepare for your auditions / interviews and your performance. Therefore, your evidence will contain video and audio files. It is really important that you are not precious about this evidence and that you do not avoid publishing evidence showing you working at something or trying things out. We need to be able to track your developing skills over the progression of your work for your auditions and interviews.
For EVERY rehearsal / practise session you carry out, independent or if you have asked to work with a mentor you MUST gather this evidence. It is your responsibility to gather this evidence and to publish it to YouTube before adding the files to this page on your WordPress site.
Make sure you title the videos, date them and give a brief description of what the content shows and copy this information underneath each video you publish to your site.
If you are a Musical Theatre student please have 3 YouTube playlists – one for acting, one for singing and one for dance (if appropriate)
