Australian Musical Theatre Academy

Admission into The Musical Theatre Intensive Weekly Masterclasses is by audition only. Upon meeting the skill requirements of the course, places will be offered to auditionees on a first come, first served basis. As there are only 10 places available in each masterclass, we encourage performers to submit their auditions early to avoid disappointment.

If we still have spots available after the course has begun, or if performers cannot attend each weekly masterclass, we encourage performers to still apply, as each masterclass is structured so that participants can film their work beforehand to be watched by the tutor during the session, and each class is recorded so that students can catch up on classes missed and still receive feedback on their work.

Accessibility:
Accessibility and diversity are important to AMTA. We will be seeking out and encouraging enrolments from First Nations and BIPOC artists, LGBTIQ+ artists, body and age diverse artists, artists with a disability, and culturally and linguistically diverse artists.

We also have payment plan and scholarship options available to financially challenged artists. If financial difficulties are a barrier to you enrolling in the course, please get in contact with us at queenie@amta.net.au.

AMTA is also committed to bringing world-class, theatrical training to all of Australia, including regional areas. Therefore, we hold a limited number of places in each of our Melbourne classes for possible online participants to join us on Zoom. We encourage and welcome auditions from performers around Australia.

Course Dates | Times | Venues:

To make sure students don’t miss out on any of the classes, each class will be recorded through Zoom, so, if students are sick they can participate online or if they miss a session, they can watch the recording.

Investment:

There are two ways you can join us for the weekly masterclasses:
One Lump Sum Upfront Payment: $1690 (+ GST) (SAVING YOU $344!)
Or
Direct Debit: $94.67 (+ GST) per week x 20 masterclasses (+ a $12 set up fee)

Audition Requirements for Participants:
The following links below will take you to the submission forms for each masterclass (for pre-professional and youth streams – the form must be filled out by a parent or guardian).

The forms will ask you to:

• Enter your contact details
• Upload a headshot
  • If you don’t have a headshot you can also upload a ‘selfie’
• Upload a CV
  • You also will have the option to cut and paste your performance biography into the form or type out your previous performance experience
• Upload a self-tape of you singing a musical theatre song
  • You can either be accompanied on piano or perform to a backing track
• Upload a self-tape of you performing a scene or monologue
  • The scene or monologue doesn’t have to come from a musical
  • In the case of a scene – we only need to see YOU on camera
  • If you are auditioning for the pre-professional or youth masterclasses, you can do a poem instead of a scene or monologue
• Commit to the payment of fees should your audition be successful

IMPORTANT
You cannot save the form and come back to it later to finish it or upload your audition material. So before filling it out, please make sure you are ready to upload all the files mentioned above.

Upon meeting the skill requirements of the course, places will be offered to auditionees on a first come, first served basis, so, we encourage you to submit your audition early.
