Unified auditions? Awful? — Page 2

What schools do you mean? umm, you can probably call each school and ask, but normally it should be posted on their website under audition information...

like for me, im scheduled to do..
Boston conservatory,CCM and Otterbein on the 3rd and 4th of feb (NYC Unifieds)

Then Carnegie Mellon, University of Michigan and Ithaca on the 5th and 6th of february (chicago unifieds)

you can call each school and ask...

lovely the auditions aren't unified, they just call it that because all the colleges convene in one place to hold their seperate auditiongs. you have to schedule auditiongs with each separate school for each seperate auditions, some give you an audition time when you submit your application, but for some you have to schedule it yourself.

no, you wont have to be there on all three days..unless you have auditions scheduled for each day...but its normally one audition per school

Does anyone have any info on the actual audition process, namely for nyc, cause im hearing how conveinent they are for getting a bunch down, but no so much on how it actual is, putting the convience aside...

>Does anyone have any info on the actual audition process, ...

Here is the summary of Unified Audtions:

1) Unified Audtions means a bunch of schools agree to audition applicants at the same time at the same place. It does not mean one 3 day long audition for all the schools.

2) Each school has its own audition and audition requirements. In other words, you don't audtion for all the schools at the same time.

3) Count on 1/2 day for each audtion/school (morning or afternoon timeslot). There might be some group stuff before individual audtions.

4) Other schools also audition at the same time, but are not part of the official Unified List (Carnegie Mellon, Juilliard, New York University, Depaul, Univ of MN, to name a few).

The Unified Audition schedule tells you when BFA schools are likely to be in the area. Apply to the schools you want, and request an audition. It is a convenient way to get them all done at once, and not have to waste a lot of time traveling around. If you have not requested a timeslot yet, it is probably too late.

Some schools use the audtion as a "first cut". Schools like Juilliard and U of MN will do callbacks on campus at a later date. For those schools, if you are not called back, you are probably not being considered. It is hard to tell from the application materials for a particular school (other than Juilliard) whether they have a second callback or not (not mentioned in the U of MN material). They also do not tell you the date for the callbacks (don't plan that trip to Florida for spring break).

If you want the actual audition process for a particular school, you have to go to that school's website and look it up.

My son is a high school junior and we're all set for LA Unified Auditions. Now, he's having a hard time finding any programs that will auction juniors. Any suggestions?
