I tried out for vocal and got in, and if you wanna try out then walk in there and introduce your self and be confident, and they make you wait out side while they evaluate you, and in that time they might ask you to come back and sing usually that national anthem. Good luck!!!
Arielle Persaud I was an incoming sophomore so I know that a lot of kids don’t try out for sophomore year and they only accept about 30 kids (so like 5 per major). And it was the same for in coming freshman just make sure they know your auditioning for sophomore year
@@perrythebaddiepuss5498 hey ! PLEASE respond to this comment , I need your help ! When you auditioned did you have experience ? Or like took vocal classes before auditioning ?
in the callback for drama they either a) give you a script, b) you do improv, or c) both. if they see you auditioned for vocal they may ask you to sing as well, and then give you some acting directions for the song. also i auditioned for two studios and it took ten hours :)
UPDATE: i got offers to laguardia AND frank sinatra !! as someone who's auditioning during the 2019-2020 school year, here's my advice for those planning to audition in the 2020-2021 or any future school years! it's gonna be REALLY long, and mainly focused on VISUAL ARTS!! 1. ATTEND AUDITION BOOTCAMPS AND PRACTICE !!! if you're in 7th grade planning to audition next year, please!!! PLEASE consider auditioning for art boot camps over the summer. personally, i took the "Middle School Arts Audition Boot Camp" which was INCREDIBLY useful for preparing myself for the audition itself. it's a 2 week camp typically in august for each type of art, and they go over what laguardia and most other art schools expect in their auditions as well as allowing you to work in various fields (ex. visual arts students can work with ink, oil pastels, charcoal, other mediums) see more info at www.schools.nyc.gov/learning/in-our-classrooms/subjects/arts (AND DO ASK YOUR ART TEACHERS AT SCHOOL FOR A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION INTO AUDITIONING FOR THESE CAMPS!!) 2. MY EXPERIENCE IN VISUAL ARTS: i will provide advice for each part of the audition, so if you're still unaware of what's to be expected on the day of audition, please check out the laguardia website: www.laguardiahs.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=314119&type=d&termREC_ID=&pREC_ID=588566 2A. WORKING ON PORTFOLIOS: - keep in mind that laguardia asks for 8-15 pieces of work! - try to include various mediums, i included oil pastels, ink, charcoal, with a total of 12 drawings - INCLUDE SKETCHBOOKS!!! schools LOVE to look at sketchbooks - i would also like to add that the audition bootcamps REALLY help with your portfolio, 5-6 pieces that i've included were from the camp and it allowed me to add much more variety to my work - try to avoid including anime/cartoon drawings! instead, include them within a sketchbook, and work on realistic/observational drawings - they typically collect portfolios before you go into the room to draw, so just a side note, they don't take letters of recommendation there lol 2B. DRAWING THE HUMAN BODY FROM OBSERVATION - first off, all 3 on-the-spot drawings are done within 20-30 min, so i suggest you practice gesture drawing and working within that small amount of time - for me, they use students as the models, so try to practice drawing siblings, friends, etc just sitting and stuff - include all details!!! - i suggest working on line quality, make your lines dark where it is closer - include folds in clothing.. values.. also include the chair they sit on, they won't just be floating (unless they stand i guess lol) 2C. DRAWING STILL LIFE FROM MEMORY: - again, 20-25 min drawings, practice drawing on regular computer paper and being able to complete it in time!! i saw plenty of kids at frank sinatra, laguardia, and bayside who didn't finish in time - keep in mind they actually give you a PROMPT for this!! they'd ask for some simply still life, and for me i remember being asked to draw a bowl of fruit, a glass of milk, stuff like that. - on the day of, try to create a few quick thumbnail drawings in like 30-60 seconds on the back, just to establish your composition, this helped me a bit when i worked on it myself - practice drawing shapes, as they provide a useful base for drawing items like cereal boxes and cups - fruits have ORGANIC shapes! not every apple is perfectly round, so work on that!! - boxes are not required to, but should preferably be at an angle! it'll allow you to stand out from other students :) in order to do this, i often start with a vertical line, and you can always search up ways to draw in perspective - speaking of perspective, don't have a perfectly straight horizon line! try to make it diagonal, as it can look more appealing - personification! transform objects, it'll make your drawing much more dynamic and make it much more appealing to look at as well. what i mean is: make the apples look at though they were bitten, spilled milk, orange slices, open or crumpled up cereal boxes, etc! - include breathing room around the edges. while you want to FILL up the paper, try not to clutter it! try to measure out a quick 1 inch border around the edges and stay away from drawing in it. - again, LINE QUALITY. make sure lines are dark where objects are close it allows the objects to stand out, and that brings me to my next point,, - INCLUDE. ALL. VALUES. highlights, extremely dark values, midtones, include everything!!! everything shouldn't be of the same value, PLEASE practice this - and try not to blend stuff with your finger, please. it won't look good. you won't have blending stumps either, so practice shading without them!! 2D. DRAWING IN COLOR FROM IMAGINATION: - they also give you a prompt for this, sometimes 2 figures at the zoo, but i personally had to draw 2 figures at a bus stop, but they allow you to choose! so again, practice doing this within 20-30 min at home - try not to draw an outline of everything in pencil! it's a waste of time - try not to use every color! try to practice color theory and work with different color schemes! - use primary colors and learn to mix them up using different ratios, it's like if i add more red than blue, i'll get a red-violet instead of a blue-violet, it looks better than having that one purple sitting in your pile - when adding value, try not to use black!!! it can make your drawing look flat, instead, use complementary colors. if you wanna add value to red, add blue-yellow for green! to orange? add blue! to yellow? add blue-red for purple! - consider the various color schemes: MONOCHROMATIC involves the same color in different values, so dark blues, light blues, each shade varies on how much white/grey/black is added to it, this can be an exception to the rule of not using black for values. ANALOGOUS are three colors that are right next to each other, like orange, yellow orange, and then yellow green, for instance. these are just SOME examples, so just try working with color theory in general! - as i've said for drawing still life memory, try to have a diagonal horizon line, and try to have it in perspective. it'll be difficult the first time around, but it all required PRACTICE and preparation. 2E. SHORT WRITING PROMPT - this one isn't really much, for me, all they asked is how we would balance art and our academics, and i just explained that despite how long it takes for me to go to and from the school, i would utilize my time on the bus/train to catch up on schoolwork, and that i've already started to create better habits on my phone to keep myself away from distractions and instead work on school and being productive, it's not much, don't worry! - be honest, be realistic, seriously, it's not much - psst.. they also say that those in the performing arts may have to stay in school til 11pm on weekdays, they may have to come to the school early in the mornings on weekends and even come during their break so.. seriously, be dedicated!! i wish whoever read through all of this and plans on using it to their advantage for their auditions good luck! the results for laguardia haven't been sent back yet, so once i do get my results, i'll update this comment in march to let you all know lol. if anyone's interested in seeing my portfolio/sketchbook, i'd be happy to send if you leave down an instagram username (i only use that!)
@Naima Wheeler during the audition you won't be using copics/prismacolors nor making graffiti pieces, HOWEVER, yes any mediums are accepted within the portfolio! it's best that you have different mediums, so including artworks that use all of the 3 as its each different piece would definitely increase your chances of getting in :)
@Naima Wheeler yep! the audition processes are pretty similar, but frank sinatra definitely has a shorter process (one less drawing on the spot i believe)
So for art you basically draw three stuff, one from memory, one from perspective, and one from imagination. I forgot how long it took but around 20 minutes for like the first one I believe
Hello!! I was trying to find someone who's into art! Did you get in? Also, did they time you for each one? Do they ask you to draw an animal, person, etc.? I currently am a self-taught artist and i'm into drawing "anime" characters, im going to audition, please get back to me! :D
Lilac hello! I’m here againnnn!!! So yeah I got in.(yay) It was timed for each one, I’d say around 30-20 minutes. Kind of forgot how long but it was about somewhere along those numbers. If you drawing only anime characters, that’s fine but they’ll be asking you to be drawing stuff from perspective(realistic stuff) and the first part of the exam would be drawing a model and their pose so maybe try to start drawing more realistic stuff from perspective. Ex: an apple, a tree, people... I won’t tell you to stop and give up your current drawing style cause that’s hella amazing that you can draw like that. But the current course that I’m taking as a freshman are usually realistic stuff. ANYWAY! I didn’t draw any animals but for the last part of the exam we had to draw something from our imagination and the two topics were “going to a zoo” or “waiting for a bus.” So I guess it really depends on the topic that you get.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING! I have a hard time with drawing bodies and I don't really draw realistic stuff, oh boy. What are the other questions they asked you? Is that all? Like you said at the end, draw something from our imagination, they gave you topics for that? I thought it was just from your imagination. I want to thank you so freaking much for responding :DD
When you audition for dancing, do you really HAVE to do ballet? And do you have to dance your own dance, do a cover, or do they give you the choreography? Please help me out, I'm going to enter eighth grade and I really want to prepare
For this year for the drama they take u to a second room for the callback audition so u do it all in 1 day.i still can't believe I made it to the 2nd round.im waiting to find out my results I hope I get in.ever since the 7th grade I literally have been watching videos like this to get me prepared for the audition .it actually made me do better cause it made me feel confident especially watching vlogs that the students there would do.it made me realize that it isn't that intemidating.
I'm trying out for the art talent and they said when you get your portfolio you have to have a person sketch front view and side view you need to sketch a scenario and an object but they're also gonna give you like 20 minutes for each portion oh yea and most importantly they make you write a 2 paragraph essay about why you want to get in. Hope that helped.
@@chanterelles3319 from what i know they make you draw the full body of a model so ye i suggest you work on your anatomy, they are mostly looking for realistic stuff so if thats not your style then you should study on it!!
I wish everyone good luck. This video is definitely helpful as I look for more information for my daughter who has her heart set on getting in by auditioning for vocal.
First of all u all need to maybe 2-3 hours a day. I am a senior this year. Laguardia is a very good school.I am a pianist and play the Bassoon as well.But very important it is to have good accademic grades. I am also playing the pipe organ preparing with my Juilliard Professor P.Kreeger They are also some competitions if u get in like Rising Stars, International Competition and Musicals snd so far I am a strait A student. To all of u Good Luck or Have Faith.Dreams comes true if u believe and think positive.
And by the way in Oct 2015 I auditioned and later on at evening same day I got a phone call saying if I love Laguardia Laguardia loves me. So I knew immediately I got accepted
I have only taken dance classes for 2 years and I am trying out for dance and vocal. I think my strongest point is vocal, I have made it into the Queens choir last year so I am pretty confident. A few questions: 1. When I submit my online audition, is it okay if I naturally start to groove to the song I am singing? Do they want you to be profesional? 2. I might not be the best at dancing but if I do make it past auditions online what happens next? I would be surprised if I did but I can always try and try my best to actually get in. 3. Should I be standing when I sing in the videos? 4. I know you can try out for more than 1 program so I will try out for drama for fun. Who knows? Maybe I will get in. 5. Does LaGuardia still teach basic math, English and more? Some might think this is a dumb question but I genuinely do not know, do I have to find a tutor to teach me 9th grade school work? 6. I am just going to be confident and be myself in all the videos, i hope they like that. 7. I do not have access to a leotard and proper shoes, I will try to order them but if they do not come in tule should I just wear sneakers with tight leggings and a tight shirt? Thank you! Wish me luck everyone! :).
Honestly I am doing fine arts so I don't know but my friend is doing dance, you need to know that Lagurdia is a school so they will also focus on academics like math, also I for audition be confident! Show expression when dancing, and they are looking for potential not only talent, and yes stand why sit? LOL remember to get good lighting
@ThatAwesomeFacedGuy I was as scared as I was first day of shooting for my first movie. Meaning, I felt like there were zombies breaking through my door.
Bohemian Rhapsody is not a good idea because they might cut you off really early. Try a broadway song too. I did "This Is The Moment" from Jekyll & Hyde and skipped the first verse
@ThatAwesomeFacedGuy Don't be nervous. Would you like to know why? Because the moment you step in you'll meet the nicest people you have met. You'll perform it and they'll be supportive no matter what. Trust me.
It definitely depends on what studio you're auditioning for and how well you are in that field, as well as how many people are applying that year, etc.
Hey i got my ticket today but my audition for vocal music is on November 17th can u give me advice I'm so nervous I was thinking of singing on my own from Les miserables but that song is really overdone so I'm not sure if they would like it?
Sania Allsop My audition is literally tomorrow (November 3) and I was gonna do the same song till I changed it last minute and Im freaking scared but just practice until the audition,wish me luck 🤧
i took the audition October 26 in the instrumental piano major and i messed up so much on the sightreading, thats the only thing i messed up on though,, is there a chance i might not get in because ive been feeling miserable ever since that day smhhhhh
Yes, on the website they updated it. They said 1 to 2 minute monologues. You may get cut off but that doesn't mean you're bad that just means they heard enough to evaluate.
What ensembles or orchestras do they have there for instrumental? And do they have quintets or jazz bands or big bands and just what musical stuff do they offer for instrumental music?
Maily Tai well it depends if you’re playing a string or wind instrument. If you play wind the first year you will be in a wind orchestra if you play strings you’ll be placed in either elemtary, intermediate, junior or senior orchestra depending on your skill level. Sophomore year you don’t really get a choice either you have to go into an orchestra. Junior and senior year you can choose between a little variety of things like jazz ensemble. I don’t know much about that but you’re pretty restricted for the first two years
I wanna go into arts. I love photography but I can’t like draw or anything like that, would they accept a pro-folio of my photography? sorry I’m a bit confused about these types of things.
im currently in lag for fine arts right now so i hope my answer is reliable, but unfortunately no i don't think they accept photography unless it's of your artwork !! qwq the audition involves having to do 3 drawings on the spot, and the courses so far also involve drawing/sculpting, and you get to choose if you want to major in digital media/painting/architecture/etc
BoggessBroadway they want something from a play or show, not some made up monologue. I only remember one I did - I used one from funny girl as a comedic monologue
Do you only have to choose more than one? Because I'm going to audition for instrumental but I only know how to play the flute and I swear I don't do good at anything else...
Lauren Pa’grea ask your parents, u don’t have much time at all. if it’s truly what u want u have to fight for it. u can only audition in the 8th or 9th grade and u need to be living in NYC the year before. Manhattan is very expensive but try brooklyn. that’s where i am
Gem B I’m currently only in the 7th grade but I’ve asked my parents many times and they know it’s what i want, but don’t support it so emancipation is my only hope, but in my state i have to be 16 for it.. I’m sorry i keep asking you questions but do you think it’s to late for me?
Lauren Pa’grea DONT EMANCIPATE!!! it’s very hard and ur gonna regret it. if u have any family in NYC move in with them ASAP! u can enroll for 8th grade and audition in 9th grade to go for 10th grade. also look into schools in NYC because there is only a small chance u will get in. practice, practice, practice. try your hardest to get their but note that NYC living is SO MUCH DIFFERENT than anything u will be used to. i mean ofc it will be the best time of your life but by going through with this u are taking a huge risk. and if u have ur heart set on a specialized school start studying for the SHSAT for backup and go on the school website for more information. do research and prove that this capable.
@@sandraamador2459I know this late but don't give up im auditioning again this year and I probably will learn from my mistakes from the last time I audition so don't give up.
i really want to audition and i was wondering if they would like you to bring your headshot and resume because doesn't that makes you look more professional?
hi, i'm auditioning soon too! i think that they dont require it because i went to a laguardia workshop the other day and they said that they are looking for kids that are easy to work with, and no one needs to have especially professional experience. if you have professional experience, that's a good headstart though! they just may not consider that over other factors in the audition or portfolio and such! i also wish you good luck, on the day of the audition just be strong and if you're not feeling confident, pretend, it helps a lot!! :)
it does depend on what you’re auditioning for. unless you’re really good/confident, don’t only audition for drama because it’s very hard to get in. i think vocal is pretty easy since low key there are some vocal majors who can’t sing 4 shit
Art Rage yeah but generally everyone’s pretty talented. i would just say audition for multiple things bc you’ll have better chances and u can choose what you’ll like
Can you go more in depth about vocal auditions because you said u have to sing back a tune and I’m confused what u mean by that and the thing about playing a rhythm back on wooden sticks
The type of music I’m into is music like Billie Eilish and doja cat, more of pop music. Do you think this is a good school for me even though I’m more into pop music?
im taking the audition after I do another competition o-0 I just have one question, is it possible to get in with only 1 audition? I'm just curious because I'm doing art and instrumental
About what time do you have to be there? What type of song do they like for vocal? Do you need prior experience for vocal or drama? I read somewhere that they might ask you how well you move in drama. Do you have to be super flexible? What type of monologue is good for drama? Sorry for all the questions. I'm kinda nervous. BTW, you got a new subscriber! :)
Hello! Currently I am going to eighth grade and I would like to try out for drama and vocal. Would anyone have some tips for trying out for either studios, but preferably drama? I would like to know if you got callbacks for drama what monologue you used, or for vocal what song you think they prefer. Thank you for any tips either way and have a nice day! I wish everyone luck for whatever studios they have!
start prepping for your audition now! and callbacks are on the spot. choose a comedic and dramatic monologue or two that differ in someway and show different aspects of your ability. one guy at my audition told me to have fun and i took that to heart and it’s really important. remember that they want u to be good!!
Jena Kim hey there, i’m a senior drama major at LaG, and i just wanted to wish you the best of luck before you come audition! just be sure to make strong, active choices, and of course, enjoy yourself! also, just so you know, there are no more callbacks at drama auditions, so you’ll only be seen once
I tried out for vocal and got in, and if you wanna try out then walk in there and introduce your self and be confident, and they make you wait out side while they evaluate you, and in that time they might ask you to come back and sing usually that national anthem. Good luck!!!
I'm applying for vocals to go into sophomore year. I'm really scared to audition, but I think I will do great! Was the process easy?
Arielle Persaud I was an incoming sophomore so I know that a lot of kids don’t try out for sophomore year and they only accept about 30 kids (so like 5 per major). And it was the same for in coming freshman just make sure they know your auditioning for sophomore year

@@perrythebaddiepuss5498 hey ! PLEASE respond to this comment , I need your help ! When you auditioned did you have experience ? Or like took vocal classes before auditioning ?
@@nerbas9994 Nah I just went up there and sang

Wow
So Wait Callbacks increases your chances
did you get in?
UPDATE: i got offers to laguardia AND frank sinatra !!
as someone who's auditioning during the 2019-2020 school year, here's my advice for those planning to audition in the 2020-2021 or any future school years! it's gonna be REALLY long, and mainly focused on VISUAL ARTS!!
1. ATTEND AUDITION BOOTCAMPS AND PRACTICE !!!
if you're in 7th grade planning to audition next year, please!!! PLEASE consider auditioning for art boot camps over the summer. personally, i took the "Middle School Arts Audition Boot Camp" which was INCREDIBLY useful for preparing myself for the audition itself. it's a 2 week camp typically in august for each type of art, and they go over what laguardia and most other art schools expect in their auditions as well as allowing you to work in various fields (ex. visual arts students can work with ink, oil pastels, charcoal, other mediums) see more info at www.schools.nyc.gov/learning/in-our-classrooms/subjects/arts (AND DO ASK YOUR ART TEACHERS AT SCHOOL FOR A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION INTO AUDITIONING FOR THESE CAMPS!!)
2. MY EXPERIENCE IN VISUAL ARTS:
i will provide advice for each part of the audition, so if you're still unaware of what's to be expected on the day of audition, please check out the laguardia website: www.laguardiahs.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=314119&type=d&termREC_ID=&pREC_ID=588566
2A. WORKING ON PORTFOLIOS:
- keep in mind that laguardia asks for 8-15 pieces of work!
- try to include various mediums, i included oil pastels, ink, charcoal, with a total of 12 drawings
- INCLUDE SKETCHBOOKS!!! schools LOVE to look at sketchbooks
- i would also like to add that the audition bootcamps REALLY help with your portfolio, 5-6 pieces that i've included were from the camp and it allowed me to add much more variety to my work
- try to avoid including anime/cartoon drawings! instead, include them within a sketchbook, and work on realistic/observational drawings
- they typically collect portfolios before you go into the room to draw, so just a side note, they don't take letters of recommendation there lol
2B. DRAWING THE HUMAN BODY FROM OBSERVATION
- first off, all 3 on-the-spot drawings are done within 20-30 min, so i suggest you practice gesture drawing and working within that small amount of time
- for me, they use students as the models, so try to practice drawing siblings, friends, etc just sitting and stuff
- include all details!!!
- i suggest working on line quality, make your lines dark where it is closer
- include folds in clothing.. values.. also include the chair they sit on, they won't just be floating (unless they stand i guess lol)
2C. DRAWING STILL LIFE FROM MEMORY:
- again, 20-25 min drawings, practice drawing on regular computer paper and being able to complete it in time!! i saw plenty of kids at frank sinatra, laguardia, and bayside who didn't finish in time
- keep in mind they actually give you a PROMPT for this!! they'd ask for some simply still life, and for me i remember being asked to draw a bowl of fruit, a glass of milk, stuff like that.
- on the day of, try to create a few quick thumbnail drawings in like 30-60 seconds on the back, just to establish your composition, this helped me a bit when i worked on it myself
- practice drawing shapes, as they provide a useful base for drawing items like cereal boxes and cups
- fruits have ORGANIC shapes! not every apple is perfectly round, so work on that!!
- boxes are not required to, but should preferably be at an angle! it'll allow you to stand out from other students :) in order to do this, i often start with a vertical line, and you can always search up ways to draw in perspective
- speaking of perspective, don't have a perfectly straight horizon line! try to make it diagonal, as it can look more appealing
- personification! transform objects, it'll make your drawing much more dynamic and make it much more appealing to look at as well. what i mean is: make the apples look at though they were bitten, spilled milk, orange slices, open or crumpled up cereal boxes, etc!
- include breathing room around the edges. while you want to FILL up the paper, try not to clutter it! try to measure out a quick 1 inch border around the edges and stay away from drawing in it.
- again, LINE QUALITY. make sure lines are dark where objects are close it allows the objects to stand out, and that brings me to my next point,,
- INCLUDE. ALL. VALUES. highlights, extremely dark values, midtones, include everything!!! everything shouldn't be of the same value, PLEASE practice this
- and try not to blend stuff with your finger, please. it won't look good. you won't have blending stumps either, so practice shading without them!!
2D. DRAWING IN COLOR FROM IMAGINATION:
- they also give you a prompt for this, sometimes 2 figures at the zoo, but i personally had to draw 2 figures at a bus stop, but they allow you to choose! so again, practice doing this within 20-30 min at home
- try not to draw an outline of everything in pencil! it's a waste of time
- try not to use every color! try to practice color theory and work with different color schemes!
- use primary colors and learn to mix them up using different ratios, it's like if i add more red than blue, i'll get a red-violet instead of a blue-violet, it looks better than having that one purple sitting in your pile
- when adding value, try not to use black!!! it can make your drawing look flat, instead, use complementary colors. if you wanna add value to red, add blue-yellow for green! to orange? add blue! to yellow? add blue-red for purple!
- consider the various color schemes: MONOCHROMATIC involves the same color in different values, so dark blues, light blues, each shade varies on how much white/grey/black is added to it, this can be an exception to the rule of not using black for values. ANALOGOUS are three colors that are right next to each other, like orange, yellow orange, and then yellow green, for instance. these are just SOME examples, so just try working with color theory in general!
- as i've said for drawing still life memory, try to have a diagonal horizon line, and try to have it in perspective. it'll be difficult the first time around, but it all required PRACTICE and preparation.
2E. SHORT WRITING PROMPT
- this one isn't really much, for me, all they asked is how we would balance art and our academics, and i just explained that despite how long it takes for me to go to and from the school, i would utilize my time on the bus/train to catch up on schoolwork, and that i've already started to create better habits on my phone to keep myself away from distractions and instead work on school and being productive, it's not much, don't worry!
- be honest, be realistic, seriously, it's not much
- psst.. they also say that those in the performing arts may have to stay in school til 11pm on weekdays, they may have to come to the school early in the mornings on weekends and even come during their break so.. seriously, be dedicated!!
i wish whoever read through all of this and plans on using it to their advantage for their auditions good luck! the results for laguardia haven't been sent back yet, so once i do get my results, i'll update this comment in march to let you all know lol. if anyone's interested in seeing my portfolio/sketchbook, i'd be happy to send if you leave down an instagram username (i only use that!)
hey!! did you ever get accepted ? and if you don’t mind can i see your portfolio/sketchbook
Noelia Vargas yes! i did get accepted and i will be attending next year. i’ll dm you photos of what i included in my portfolio as soon as i can ❤️
THANK YOUUU!!! i’m applying to both and i’m nervous asf

So for art you basically draw three stuff, one from memory, one from perspective, and one from imagination. I forgot how long it took but around 20 minutes for like the first one I believe
Hello!! I was trying to find someone who's into art! Did you get in? Also, did they time you for each one? Do they ask you to draw an animal, person, etc.? I currently am a self-taught artist and i'm into drawing "anime" characters, im going to audition, please get back to me! :D
Lilac hello! I’m here againnnn!!! So yeah I got in.(yay) It was timed for each one, I’d say around 30-20 minutes. Kind of forgot how long but it was about somewhere along those numbers. If you drawing only anime characters, that’s fine but they’ll be asking you to be drawing stuff from perspective(realistic stuff) and the first part of the exam would be drawing a model and their pose so maybe try to start drawing more realistic stuff from perspective. Ex: an apple, a tree, people... I won’t tell you to stop and give up your current drawing style cause that’s hella amazing that you can draw like that.

I'm going to ask my teacher for a ticket tomorrow, do you know when the audition is? Do the dates change?
For dance u just take a dance class and if they like you they give a call back where you perform a solo
AYO PIERRE did u audition ? Also I am having the worst nervous attacks 😂
AYO PIERRE also how long did the audition take ?
Ailka S yes I did audition for LaGuardia I am currently a freshman for dance at LaGuardia it is fine I promise you everyone in the room is nervous
When you audition for dancing, do you really HAVE to do ballet? And do you have to dance your own dance, do a cover, or do they give you the choreography? Please help me out, I'm going to enter eighth grade and I really want to prepare
@@ayopierre5174 do you HAVE to do ballet?
For this year for the drama they take u to a second room for the callback audition so u do it all in 1 day.i still can't believe I made it to the 2nd round.im waiting to find out my results I hope I get in.ever since the 7th grade I literally have been watching videos like this to get me prepared for the audition .it actually made me do better cause it made me feel confident especially watching vlogs that the students there would do.it made me realize that it isn't that intemidating.
Arianna Castillo omg, I’m hoping to get into LaGuardia too. I auditioned for tech!!
yall got in
did you get in??
@@m0lerat945 yup she did
videos like these are super helpful btw :)
Me
I'm trying out for the art talent and they said when you get your portfolio you have to have a person sketch front view and side view you need to sketch a scenario and an object but they're also gonna give you like 20 minutes for each portion oh yea and most importantly they make you write a 2 paragraph essay about why you want to get in. Hope that helped.
Omg my adition is in. 4 days
@@dejaf8980 same altho they said they just cut the essay away from the audition
bruh i know this is late, but do they also ask for like a whole-body drawing for either front or side view?
@@chanterelles3319 from what i know they make you draw the full body of a model so ye i suggest you work on your anatomy, they are mostly looking for realistic stuff so if thats not your style then you should study on it!!
wait an essay? i know there’s a form u have to fill out, but r u required to write something long?
I wish everyone good luck. This video is definitely helpful as I look for more information for my daughter who has her heart set on getting in by auditioning for vocal.
I'm so happy to hear that! I hope she gets in :)
First of all u all need to maybe 2-3 hours a day.
I am a senior this year.
Laguardia is a very good school.I am a pianist and play the Bassoon as well.But very important it is to have good accademic grades.
I am also playing the pipe organ preparing with my Juilliard Professor P.Kreeger
They are also some competitions if u get in like Rising Stars, International Competition and Musicals snd so far I am a strait A student.
To all of u Good Luck or Have Faith.Dreams comes true if u believe and think positive.
And by the way in Oct 2015 I auditioned and later on at evening same day I got a phone call saying if I love Laguardia Laguardia loves me.
So I knew immediately I got accepted
I have only taken dance classes for 2 years and I am trying out for dance and vocal. I think my strongest point is vocal, I have made it into the Queens choir last year so I am pretty confident. A few questions:
1. When I submit my online audition, is it okay if I naturally start to groove to the song I am singing? Do they want you to be profesional?
2. I might not be the best at dancing but if I do make it past auditions online what happens next? I would be surprised if I did but I can always try and try my best to actually get in.
3. Should I be standing when I sing in the videos?
4. I know you can try out for more than 1 program so I will try out for drama for fun. Who knows? Maybe I will get in.
5. Does LaGuardia still teach basic math, English and more? Some might think this is a dumb question but I genuinely do not know, do I have to find a tutor to teach me 9th grade school work?
6. I am just going to be confident and be myself in all the videos, i hope they like that.
7. I do not have access to a leotard and proper shoes, I will try to order them but if they do not come in tule should I just wear sneakers with tight leggings and a tight shirt?
Thank you! Wish me luck everyone! :).
Honestly I am doing fine arts so I don't know but my friend is doing dance, you need to know that Lagurdia is a school so they will also focus on academics like math, also I for audition be confident! Show expression when dancing, and they are looking for potential not only talent, and yes stand why sit? LOL remember to get good lighting
did u get in? :)
Am so frisking nervous right now🤦♀️😂
@ThatAwesomeFacedGuy I was as scared as I was first day of shooting for my first movie.
Meaning, I felt like there were zombies breaking through my door.
ThatAwesomeFacedGuy what studio are you auditioning for?
Bohemian Rhapsody is not a good idea because they might cut you off really early. Try a broadway song too. I did "This Is The Moment" from Jekyll & Hyde and skipped the first verse
@ThatAwesomeFacedGuy Don't be nervous. Would you like to know why? Because the moment you step in you'll meet the nicest people you have met. You'll perform it and they'll be supportive no matter what. Trust me.
Yesterday I got a callback for LaGuardia Dance!! Super nervous
i heard drama was hard to get into, on a scale of 1-10 how hard is it really though?
how stiff is the competition to get in?
It definitely depends on what studio you're auditioning for and how well you are in that field, as well as how many people are applying that year, etc.
STIFF
Hey i got my ticket today but my audition for vocal music is on November 17th can u give me advice I'm so nervous I was thinking of singing on my own from Les miserables but that song is really overdone so I'm not sure if they would like it?
Sania Allsop my audition is also on November 17th!
Sania Allsop My audition is literally tomorrow (November 3) and I was gonna do the same song till I changed it last minute and Im freaking scared but just practice until the audition,wish me luck 🤧
@@nayg4532 I wish you the best of luck
i took the audition October 26 in the instrumental piano major and i messed up so much on the sightreading, thats the only thing i messed up on though,, is there a chance i might not get in because ive been feeling miserable ever since that day smhhhhh
@@sarai.ruiz06 our auditions are on the same day!
I was wondering if you can audition for multiple talents and if you get exempted for more than one can you do more than one during your school day
im in nyc its my dream
Do you have to already know ballet ? By I never done ballet and I’ve been doing hip hop and pop since I was in kindergarten
SAMYA CRANSTON damn ..☹️ well it’s too late cuz shit already passed 💀
I wanna go to Drama and I was wondering.
One of my monologues is 2 minutes.
Is that ok?😕
Yes, on the website they updated it. They said 1 to 2 minute monologues. You may get cut off but that doesn't mean you're bad that just means they heard enough to evaluate.
No, it has to be a minute, or they will cut you off.
Did anyone who auditioned this year for dance get a callback yet?
i also was wondering what the current process for dance is for call backs! please let us know !=]
Interesting. I auditioned back in 1990. No interwebs back then so we got to sing anything we wanted. Yes, I got in and graduated class of '94.
when you auditioned did you already know how to play your instrument like you know vibrato and all that also do the expect you to know vibrato
Theresa Lee it honestly depends on what piece your playing but they won’t teach you vibrato if you get in.
What ensembles or orchestras do they have there for instrumental? And do they have quintets or jazz bands or big bands and just what musical stuff do they offer for instrumental music?
Maily Tai well it depends if you’re playing a string or wind instrument. If you play wind the first year you will be in a wind orchestra if you play strings you’ll be placed in either elemtary, intermediate, junior or senior orchestra depending on your skill level. Sophomore year you don’t really get a choice either you have to go into an orchestra. Junior and senior year you can choose between a little variety of things like jazz ensemble. I don’t know much about that but you’re pretty restricted for the first two years
I wanna go into arts. I love photography but I can’t like draw or anything like that, would they accept a pro-folio of my photography? sorry I’m a bit confused about these types of things.
im currently in lag for fine arts right now so i hope my answer is reliable, but unfortunately no i don't think they accept photography unless it's of your artwork !! qwq the audition involves having to do 3 drawings on the spot, and the courses so far also involve drawing/sculpting, and you get to choose if you want to major in digital media/painting/architecture/etc
Hey I’m gonna do drama vocal and and art any tips for the ones you did and things you think I should do
i also was wondering what the current process for dance is for call backs! please let us know !=]
what female audition monologues have you used/recommend?
BoggessBroadway they want something from a play or show, not some made up monologue. I only remember one I did - I used one from funny girl as a comedic monologue
thanks!
What’s the requirements for dance
That information should be on the LaG website!
I auditioned for art and dance, I’m going to see if I got my call back today!
My friend got a callback for dance
hey did you get in??
@@mayaandlola7850 Yeah, I didn’t choose to go though I got into my other options that I wanted more
@@amiraarchibald6701 what were your other options ?
@@hadenapowers4321 I wanted to try to aim for indecent schools and i got into my top independent school choices
Do you only have to choose more than one? Because I'm going to audition for instrumental but I only know how to play the flute and I swear I don't do good at anything else...
Im trying out for dance in 2 days
Someone please help me: I live in nc but this is my DREAM school, what should I do?
move to nyc, there is no other way.
Gem B I’m underage though.. it’s illegal to go by myself
Lauren Pa’grea ask your parents, u don’t have much time at all. if it’s truly what u want u have to fight for it. u can only audition in the 8th or 9th grade and u need to be living in NYC the year before. Manhattan is very expensive but try brooklyn. that’s where i am
Gem B I’m currently only in the 7th grade but I’ve asked my parents many times and they know it’s what i want, but don’t support it so emancipation is my only hope, but in my state i have to be 16 for it.. I’m sorry i keep asking you questions but do you think it’s to late for me?
Lauren Pa’grea DONT EMANCIPATE!!! it’s very hard and ur gonna regret it. if u have any family in NYC move in with them ASAP! u can enroll for 8th grade and audition in 9th grade to go for 10th grade. also look into schools in NYC because there is only a small chance u will get in. practice, practice, practice. try your hardest to get their but note that NYC living is SO MUCH DIFFERENT than anything u will be used to. i mean ofc it will be the best time of your life but by going through with this u are taking a huge risk. and if u have ur heart set on a specialized school start studying for the SHSAT for backup and go on the school website for more information. do research and prove that this capable.
will i be able to audition going into junior year or would they only accept people from a past year?
łøłø
I know I’m late but unfortunately you can’t LaGuardia only accepts incoming 9th and 10th graders
For instrumental do I have to memorize the piece and can I look at a sheet
Sarah Cheng you can look at your sheet music there have a stand waiting for you
I’m waiting on my letter 😭 I’ll be upset if I didn’t get in..but there is always next year
VibzClan that’s me lmao i didn’t get in cried a lot but i’m trying for next year
there’s a lot of success stories here which was really nice seeing but it hurts a bit when your part of the percent who didn’t get in
@@sandraamador2459I know this late but don't give up im auditioning again this year and I probably will learn from my mistakes from the last time I audition so don't give up.
i really want to audition and i was wondering if they would like you to bring your headshot and resume because doesn't that makes you look more professional?
hi, i'm auditioning soon too! i think that they dont require it because i went to a laguardia workshop the other day and they said that they are looking for kids that are easy to work with, and no one needs to have especially professional experience. if you have professional experience, that's a good headstart though! they just may not consider that over other factors in the audition or portfolio and such! i also wish you good luck, on the day of the audition just be strong and if you're not feeling confident, pretend, it helps a lot!! :)
@@and10op48 hi!!! did u get in?
Someone knows how is the Piano audition, and the music grammar test please?
Guys help me I wanna get into LaGuardia but I have no talent
Emily Y well you just have to practice in your field, btw what program do u want to audition for
Emily Y I have no talent either ur not alone 😂😅😅
it does depend on what you’re auditioning for. unless you’re really good/confident, don’t only audition for drama because it’s very hard to get in. i think vocal is pretty easy since low key there are some vocal majors who can’t sing 4 shit
Thanic damn really!?!? 😂
Art Rage yeah but generally everyone’s pretty talented. i would just say audition for multiple things bc you’ll have better chances and u can choose what you’ll like
Can you go more in depth about vocal auditions because you said u have to sing back a tune and I’m confused what u mean by that and the thing about playing a rhythm back on wooden sticks
Lifeof.heaven I was also confused
How to get audition ticket
I know this is a pretty old video but I’m desperate for advice and the auditions are realllyy close do you need your own ballet clothes or something ?
if you audition for vocal and drama and get into both do you need to choose one or can you do both?
im auditioning this year what songs do you reccomennd?
No pop songs! LaG also has a song recommendation list you can find inspiration off of :)
@@6UDRA They don’t have that list anymore any other song recommendations?
What's the majority of ages that people start attending this school?
Hey I really have a important question the question is that for the dance major do you need to know ballet please let me know thank you
Michelle Morocho yes
Audra Baruch so you need to know how to dance ballet
Michelle Morocho yes you need to know ballet
Audra Baruch do u mean like they teach it too u or u have to have pior knowledge
i wanna try out for vocal and technical theater any tips?
Is it bad if you don’t have an offer for you to come and audition again. A.K.A callback
The type of music I’m into is music like Billie Eilish and doja cat, more of pop music. Do you think this is a good school for me even though I’m more into pop music?
yes nicki manaj went there lol i think its for all kinds of music
Do u need to take the shsat for auditions?
No but the school is still a specialized school
im taking the audition after I do another competition o-0 I just have one question, is it possible to get in with only 1 audition? I'm just curious because I'm doing art and instrumental
can u audition for multiple?
I’m going for dance
Can you do a duet for vocal audition
Here from 2020
About what time do you have to be there? What type of song do they like for vocal? Do you need prior experience for vocal or drama? I read somewhere that they might ask you how well you move in drama. Do you have to be super flexible? What type of monologue is good for drama? Sorry for all the questions. I'm kinda nervous. BTW, you got a new subscriber! :)
I decided to audition for 3 things, Art, Instrumental And Vocal
My grades match up with their criteria but it’s the attendance I’m worried about, hopefully tho I get in
Did you get in?? 😁
YESSS!!! Go for it!
Did you get in? I want to know. Please answer
did you make it?
Do you create your own monologues
Khalida Chaib no you can choose your own monologues from plays
What about art?
Look what I just typed
Hello! Currently I am going to eighth grade and I would like to try out for drama and vocal. Would anyone have some tips for trying out for either studios, but preferably drama? I would like to know if you got callbacks for drama what monologue you used, or for vocal what song you think they prefer. Thank you for any tips either way and have a nice day! I wish everyone luck for whatever studios they have!
start prepping for your audition now! and callbacks are on the spot. choose a comedic and dramatic monologue or two that differ in someway and show different aspects of your ability. one guy at my audition told me to have fun and i took that to heart and it’s really important. remember that they want u to be good!!
thank you so much! auditions are on nov 18, and im pretty nervous!
Jena Kim hey there, i’m a senior drama major at LaG, and i just wanted to wish you the best of luck before you come audition! just be sure to make strong, active choices, and of course, enjoy yourself! also, just so you know, there are no more callbacks at drama auditions, so you’ll only be seen once
Jena Kim me too I’m auditioning on Sunday for vocal
Natalia Soto thank youuu! the auditions went well so let’s hope I get in.
And btw Audra Baruch nice audition process
Please say
I have a registration survey and it says something about a test.Now do have to take the test or we don't have to take it?
That's why I'm wondering too..
Me who wants to be a writer and likes poetry: 👁👁
Hey, do they take poetry or written plays??
