Sorry to hear that. Mine are fine at the moment (but then I don't clean it that often!!) Glad it still sounds good though :)

@ It’s okay🫶🏻🫶🏻

Hi! As a dancer, I think the most important thing about working out is to build strength and stamina to support my dance and prevent injury. In terms of flexibility, I'm naturally quite mobile, but the flexibility comes as part of my dance practice too! But I'm just sharing this as motivation to help myself and other people who (like me) tend to want to stop mid-way through a workout session :))

Thank you! I'm waiting to hear back at the moment, but I really enjoyed the audition! 😁

Hi there! Yes, it's so important to have the right set up, so that your posture can be right! I'm really enjoying my piano thanks :) Hope you enjoy playing yours too!

@theperformingartsandme great to know ur enjoying playing your piano, I played today, and the sound, and quality is so much better now, after setting up the piano stand, very good piano 🎹 and the price wasn't too expensive, for a grand piano sound with the hammer grade mechanism, IMHO it feels and sounds like a real grand piano, all the best from Wales uk 😀

@@adrianthomas6244 Thank-you! Glad you are enjoying yours too :)

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you! It was actually really fun :))

I did my ABRSM Grade 7 a few years back :))

@@theperformingartsandme it's a pleasure to meet you Master, let us treat each other well. ❤️

Grade 8 ? Or is it a myth?

I'm not entirely sure yet, but hopefully West End musicals! Although I'm open to auditioning for a range of things, from short films to singing/dance gigs to plays :)

I really like it, I'm very pleased with it! To be honest I haven't really played it as much as I'd like, because I'm a 3rd year student and it's been super busy. I also haven't yet explored all the functions. But from the little use it has had, I really like it :)

Estoy feliz que lo te gusta!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you find it interesting! 😊

Thank you so much! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Glad you enjoyed seeing it! Yes, I'll try to get some footage when I go busking!

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much! I did enjoy it, thank you 😊

Hi! Thanks so much for your question! I'm afraid I can't remember what Urdang wanted specifically, sorry! Most schools asked for songs/monologues between 1-2 mins, or sometimes for songs they would ask for a number of bars, normally either 16 or 32 bars. In terms of classical/contemporary monologues, I think it depended on the school. From what I can remember: some wanted one monologue, and some asked for two (and it might be worth having a back-up one in case anyway, just in case they ask if you have anything else); some were more specific on dates/time period, and some less so. I think I used a contemporary monologue mostly, but I did have a classical one, and I think some schools allowed you to do any monologue, so you could pick if you did a classical or a contemporary. I think it just varied depending on the school! Sorry I can't be more helpful, it's just it was a while ago now! If it doesn't say on their website, you could always email the school to ask if they would be able to let you know. Hope your auditions go well!

Wow, this is such a lovely comment, thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment this. 🥰 I'm very glad you enjoy my content, and here's a warm welcome to you as a subscriber! Welcome!

@@theperformingartsandme Aw! Thank you so much for the kind reply and warm welcome! I really appreciate that, Millie! Glad to be here! 🥰💜

Thank-you so much! Yes, I am aiming to be a performer in musical theatre (and the individual disciplines of acting/dance/singing). My main goal is to be in a West End musical!

Thank-you! :)

Thank-you, I appreciate that!

Thank you! Ooh, that's cool! I've seen shoes like that - I don't have any myself, but I'd be interested to try dancing in some!

@@theperformingartsandme If you have really high arches they feel sooo good to dance and workout in not to mention very supported too.☺

Ah cool! I might give them a try if they feel really supportive then! Thanks for letting me know :)

Thank you! 😀

You’re welcome. You’re my friend and keep up the great videos! 😉🙏👍

Thank you! 😀

I'm glad you found it helpful! And thank-you for your question! If you are certain you don't want to accept, then I would recommend declining the offer, using whatever method they ask you to use (or email them to find out how to decline, if they don't say)! That way, they will be able to offer the place to someone else who may be waiting to hear. If you aren't sure yet, then you don't need to rush into a decision, but I think it is more courteous (once you have decided) to let them know if you are choosing to decline, rather than just waiting for the deadline pass. Hope that helps!

@@theperformingartsandmeThanks so much for your reply!

No problem!!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I'm glad you enjoyed the vlog :)

Wow, congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉 I'm so pleased to hear that, well done! That's so exciting for you ❤️

@@theperformingartsandme Thank you so much!! I was waitlisted in February so it’s proof you should never lose hope haha :D

That's so interesting, thanks for sharing! Hopefully other people will see this and learn from it that you can get accepted from waitlists weeks later :) And once again, congratulations! 🎉🎉

@@theperformingartsandme Of course!! Thanks I appreciate it haha :D

Thank-you so much for this comment! I really appreciate it :)

Hi! Thank-you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And thanks for your question :) I don't know how helpful it will be me saying how hard I found it, as it sort of depends on your individual situation - some people would probably find it easier and some would probably find it harder! It was also a little while ago now, so it's a bit hard to remember. I will say though that (from what I can remember) the choreography in the Urdang jazz routine had 2 distinct sections - I think one that was more commercial, and one that was more technical, so there is hopefully more of a chance that there is something you feel comfortable with (and there was also the ballet section of the audition, if that's more what you prefer, plus I think there was possibly some improv in the jazz audition, maybe as part of/before/after the routine? And they might have done some technical jazz exercises in the jazz section too? Sorry, I can't fully remember!) Also, try not to stress about the dance section, even if you feel less confident with dance! You never know what the panel is looking for - it might be they want more singer-actors for that year group anyway. If you are struggling with the steps, I'd suggest to try your best, ask questions if you get the chance, and give them as much performance as you can. If they do have an improv section, you can use that to your advantage to show what you can do in terms of performance and acting, or if there are some dance steps that you do feel confident with, you could show them those too/instead. Lastly, I'd suggest trying to enjoy it! I know I didn't really answer your question, but I hope that helps! (Sorry I can't really remember everything now, hopefully I explained some of what was in the different dance sections with a bit more clarity in the video). And I hope your audition goes well! 😊

So glad to hear it helped! Thank you :)

Thank-you so much!! 😊 I hope so :)

🥰🥰 thank you so much for supporting me throughout!

Thank-you so much ❤ and I'm glad you found it informative :)

Thank-you!

I'm so glad I could help! 😊

Hi! No problem at all, thanks for your question. My singing/acting self-tape was filmed with my head and chest, so a bit further away than this video is (I'm standing at a very slight angle, and you can just see the back elbow at the bottom of the shot). It's a bit hard to explain, but does that sort of make sense? If you message me on my Instagram (@theperformingartsandme), I'm happy to send you a screenshot (so you can see the framing), to clarify what I mean! And then my dance video was filmed from much wider out, so you could see my body. Hope that helps!

@@theperformingartsandme I get what you mean by that!! Thank you so much! Also, is it okay to have mistakes in your self tape- esp dance? It’s so hard to not get everything right and I’m worried that with a few things that it looks like I’m not a good listener when the panel look at the self tapes but I don’t want to have the impression that I can’t take direction well

No problem at all! Glad I could help :) In answer to your other question about mistakes, I don't think there is such a thing as a "perfect" tape! There will so often be things that you want to be better. I would say to remember that you are auditioning in order to train, you are not auditioning for a professional job - so I think they should be looking for someone they can train. Also, I agree it's good to try to take direction, but if you do your best, then you can't do any more than that! Obviously I'm not on an audition panel or anything, (I'm just a student myself!), so that's just my point of view, but I hope it helps. I also have a video on self-tapes tips in case you want anymore of my thoughts: ua-cam.com/video/jpusswhmATg/v-deo.html

Hmm, I''m not entirely sure, sorry! I remember they emailed me the result, and I think it was more than a week. I totally understand though, time goes so slowly when you are waiting for news! Sorry to not be more helpful, but I hope you enjoyed your audition and that things go well for you!! :)

@@theperformingartsandme it’s all good!! Thanks anyway 😄 whatever happens, i really enjoyed my audition there!

Thank-you! And I'm glad to hear that :)

@ellieperforms15 I just wondered if you heard and how long it took in the end? My daughter auditioned just over a week ago?
