Please refer to this table to check your audition slots. For oversubscribed time slots, we distributed excess students to other time slots on the same day. If you cannot make it, please contact us.
You will need to report at the start of your time slot. We expect to take about 10 mins per audition. If we don’t see you when we are ready for you, we will assume that you are pulling out.
We have put together a list of audition expectations for each part. Some of them are essential (in blue) while others are good to have.
If you don't meet the requirements, but you are willing to try and learn, we still welcome you to audition. It is still possible to get selected for the CCA if there is capacity. It is important to note that we don’t provide structured basic lessons, and you are expected to learn from your seniors and with your own learning resources.
All the best for auditions!
