We’re taking Private Auditions for beginner, intermediate and advanced level students aged 4-18.

Find out more info on what to prepare below:

  • Private Auditions 4-8 years
  • In a Private Audition, 4-8-year-old applicants are required to:

    • Show a short improvised piece (e.g. a make-believe piece they have made up themselves – up to 1 minute long) 
    • Recite a poem (or a nursery rhyme for pre-primary children)
    • Sing a verse and chorus of any song of their choice 
    • Show a short dance that they may have learned at dance classes

    They can choose to do one or more of the above, and they can show all of the above if they wish – whichever they feel most comfortable performing.

  • Private Auditions 9-12 years
  • In a Private Audition, 9-12-year-old applicants are required to:

    • Show a short improvised/devised piece (up to 1 minute long)
    • Perform a monologue or drama speech 
    • Sing a verse and chorus of any song of their choice
    • If they choose to show a song, this should be a verse and chorus of any piece of their choice.  Songs will be sung unaccompanied; therefore, sheet music is not required at this stage.

    Musical Theatre Programme:  Applicants wishing to be part of the Musical Theatre Programmes may be required to complete another singing audition (on another date) where they will sing one musical theatre song accompanied by our pianist.  This audition is usually in front of two panel members, including the head of the Musical Theatre department.

    • Show a short improvised/devised piece (up to 1 minute long)

Curious about the difference between an Open Audition Day and a Private Audition?

Open Audition Day: During our Open Audition Day, participants dive into a collaborative workshop environment. Depending on their age and skill level, they have the option to be assessed within the workshop, eliminating the need to prepare an audition piece for the panel. However, those aspiring to secure a place in our highly sought-after intermediate or advanced programmes should consider presenting a short (around 1-minute long) song, drama piece, or dance to the panel, alongside participating in the Open Audition Day workshops.

Open Audition Days also provide young talent with a peek into the iNTER Performing Arts workshop experience, where they can collaborate with our current tutors and students from the academy if they wish.

Private Audition: A Private Audition offers an individual platform for showcasing audition pieces, and there is no timescale on the length of the pieces, although we advise no longer than three minutes per piece.

Applicants have the opportunity to present their prepared pieces to the panel and engage in a discussion about their aspirations at iNTER and the learning journey they hope for. Auditionees also receive constructive feedback on their audition pieces, potentially setting the stage for their journey ahead.
