It's so sleek and pretty! 🥺 Thank you for showing us! I hope you enjoy every practice session! Happy playing, Millie! 🥰💜
Thank you so much! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thanks for showing us your new piano! Make sure to go live or vlog when you go busking
Glad you enjoyed seeing it! Yes, I'll try to get some footage when I go busking!
hi! really perfect channel!=)
Thank you so much! :)
Wow, your confidence really shines through in this vlog. I hope you enjoyed your shows, your parents must be very proud
Thank you so much! I did enjoy it, thank you 😊
hey!! i know that it's been a while but for songs and monos what was the required length? with monos especially did they need to be a classical/contemp or both? x
Hi! Thanks so much for your question! I'm afraid I can't remember what Urdang wanted specifically, sorry! Most schools asked for songs/monologues between 1-2 mins, or sometimes for songs they would ask for a number of bars, normally either 16 or 32 bars. In terms of classical/contemporary monologues, I think it depended on the school. From what I can remember: some wanted one monologue, and some asked for two (and it might be worth having a back-up one in case anyway, just in case they ask if you have anything else); some were more specific on dates/time period, and some less so. I think I used a contemporary monologue mostly, but I did have a classical one, and I think some schools allowed you to do any monologue, so you could pick if you did a classical or a contemporary. I think it just varied depending on the school! Sorry I can't be more helpful, it's just it was a while ago now! If it doesn't say on their website, you could always email the school to ask if they would be able to let you know. Hope your auditions go well!
Achieving CZcams goals can indeed be uncertain and tough. I really enjoy the content you share and your persona! You've got a new subscriber here! 🥰 I wish you all the best in achieving your goals! Thank you for sharing your school journey! Best of luck, Millie! (P.S. Your hair is so gorgeous!) 💜

@@theperformingartsandme Aw! Thank you so much for the kind reply and warm welcome! I really appreciate that, Millie! Glad to be here! 🥰💜
Really interesting video. Do you know what you want to do career wise when you finish your course?
Thank-you so much! Yes, I am aiming to be a performer in musical theatre (and the individual disciplines of acting/dance/singing). My main goal is to be in a West End musical!
Wow! Great vlog, Millie!
Thank-you! :)
Wow! Good to have you back, Millie! 😊🥰🙏👍
Thank-you, I appreciate that!
Nice collection. 🩰. My favourite ones of mine are my dance sneakers with split soles.
Thank you! Ooh, that's cool! I've seen shoes like that - I don't have any myself, but I'd be interested to try dancing in some!
@@theperformingartsandme If you have really high arches they feel sooo good to dance and workout in not to mention very supported too.☺
Ah cool! I might give them a try if they feel really supportive then! Thanks for letting me know :)
Wow! Nice shoes collection!
Thank you! 😀
You’re welcome. You’re my friend and keep up the great videos! 😉🙏👍
nice shoe collection👍👍
Thank you! 😀
Thanks for the video! Very informative! Just wondering, if you decided to not accept an offer, do you need to let the school know? Or just do nothing let the deadline pass?
I'm glad you found it helpful! And thank-you for your question! If you are certain you don't want to accept, then I would recommend declining the offer, using whatever method they ask you to use (or email them to find out how to decline, if they don't say)! That way, they will be able to offer the place to someone else who may be waiting to hear. If you aren't sure yet, then you don't need to rush into a decision, but I think it is more courteous (once you have decided) to let them know if you are choosing to decline, rather than just waiting for the deadline pass. Hope that helps!
@@theperformingartsandmeThanks so much for your reply!
No problem!!
Another great vlog, it’s good to see you stay on track with your glow up
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I'm glad you enjoyed the vlog :)
I’ve just been offered the full degree at italia conti. I can’t BELIEVE it 😭
Wow, congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉 I'm so pleased to hear that, well done! That's so exciting for you ❤️
@@theperformingartsandme Thank you so much!! I was waitlisted in February so it’s proof you should never lose hope haha :D
That's so interesting, thanks for sharing! Hopefully other people will see this and learn from it that you can get accepted from waitlists weeks later :) And once again, congratulations! 🎉🎉
@@theperformingartsandme Of course!! Thanks I appreciate it haha :D
Great vlog, I can see your confidence growing in every video
Thank-you so much for this comment! I really appreciate it :)
hi! would you say the dances were particularly hard? I'm not a strong dancer I much prefer singing and acting, great vid as well thank u xx
Hi! Thank-you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And thanks for your question :) I don't know how helpful it will be me saying how hard I found it, as it sort of depends on your individual situation - some people would probably find it easier and some would probably find it harder! It was also a little while ago now, so it's a bit hard to remember. I will say though that (from what I can remember) the choreography in the Urdang jazz routine had 2 distinct sections - I think one that was more commercial, and one that was more technical, so there is hopefully more of a chance that there is something you feel comfortable with (and there was also the ballet section of the audition, if that's more what you prefer, plus I think there was possibly some improv in the jazz audition, maybe as part of/before/after the routine? And they might have done some technical jazz exercises in the jazz section too? Sorry, I can't fully remember!) Also, try not to stress about the dance section, even if you feel less confident with dance! You never know what the panel is looking for - it might be they want more singer-actors for that year group anyway. If you are struggling with the steps, I'd suggest to try your best, ask questions if you get the chance, and give them as much performance as you can. If they do have an improv section, you can use that to your advantage to show what you can do in terms of performance and acting, or if there are some dance steps that you do feel confident with, you could show them those too/instead. Lastly, I'd suggest trying to enjoy it! I know I didn't really answer your question, but I hope that helps! (Sorry I can't really remember everything now, hopefully I explained some of what was in the different dance sections with a bit more clarity in the video). And I hope your audition goes well! 😊
My son watched your video and it was really useful and it helped him out. Big thanks .
So glad to hear it helped! Thank you :)
Great video, you’re going to smash your glow up if you keep going like this
So proud of you!
🥰🥰 thank you so much for supporting me throughout!
Very informative video, brave of you to share. I really hope you find complete recovery. Sounds like you have a great family and lots of support.
Thank-you so much ❤ and I'm glad you found it informative :)
lovely
Thank-you!
ahh tysm! I really needed this:)
I'm so glad I could help! 😊
hi!! i know that this is a year late however can i ask how you filmed your singing and monologue self tapes?? did you film them from further away or in the same way as you filmed this video?
No problem at all! Glad I could help :) In answer to your other question about mistakes, I don't think there is such a thing as a "perfect" tape! There will so often be things that you want to be better. I would say to remember that you are auditioning in order to train, you are not auditioning for a professional job - so I think they should be looking for someone they can train. Also, I agree it's good to try to take direction, but if you do your best, then you can't do any more than that! Obviously I'm not on an audition panel or anything, (I'm just a student myself!), so that's just my point of view, but I hope it helps. I also have a video on self-tapes tips in case you want anymore of my thoughts: czcams.com/video/jpusswhmATg/video.html
How long did it take for Conti to get back to you after your recall? Might be slightly different as I was recalled for BA Hons. It's been almost a week and I'm SO DONE ALREADY 😂
do they inform you about not getting in? or will you only be contacted if you get in?
Hi! Thanks for your question! I always found out either way. Most schools emailed, but depending on the school, it might be that they just update your UCAS rather than contacting you directly? I can't remember very well, but I might have had one which just updated UCAS. Hope that helps!
hey! I just watched your video - Do you go to italia Conti? If so, when you applied was it through uni? I’m applying this year for September 2024- im applying for the BA Acting and I think it’s through ucas, just not sure what happens after that? Do I apply on ucas and then I’ll get an email from conti asking for a self tape? Thanks xx
How were you able to apply for 11 drama schools? For Ucas you can only pick 5 drama schools MAX? unless the ones you chose are independent?
So helpful thank you! I'm auditioning this December :0
I hope you enjoy auditioning!
@@abiharrington2226 mine is the 11th!!! Best of luck :)
Hi, I wanted to ask a few questions if you don't mind. 1. Is the vocal warm up without a teacher 2. How long do you get to warm up 3. How will the people at conti call you, will it be via names or a number 4. I'm not confident remembering the ballet moves without a teacher demonstrating it otherwise I will forget. Do they do the moves with you 5. Do you think they will mind hugely if I'm not a quick dance learner 6. Did you perform the audition in a group for acting and singing Sorry I know that's a lot of question ;)
Hi, I'm so sorry for the late reply! Your audition has probably already happened by now, but in case this is any help to anyone, here is what I would say, based off of my experience from doing the Italia Conti Foundation recall! It was quite a while ago so I can't fully remember everything though. 1. The vocal warm-up was with a teacher 2. I can't remember, sorry! I think the vocal warm up was maybe 10 minutes ish? 3. Again, sorry, I can't remember, but I think probably name? 4. I can't really remember, but I think I do remember that they went over the choreography quite a bit with us and were open to us asking questions before we did it a final time. 5. I obviously can't speak for the panel, but I struggle with picking up choreography too, so don't let this put you off! Remember, you are auditioning to train there, not to be perfect already :) 6. We were taken into rooms individually for the singing round and for the acting round. Thank-you for your questions! And once again, apologies for the delayed response!
underrated!! these are great :)
Ahh thank-you so much for saying that! I'm really glad you think so! :)

Lovely video! If you don’t mind me asking, what song was the jazz routine to?
Thank-you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And apologies for the late reply. I can't actually remember right now what song the jazz routine was to for this audition! I'm sorry for not giving you an answer to your question. But I don't mind you asking me - I tend to ask a lot of questions of other people in day-to-day life. I may not always answer your question, but if you have any other things you want to ask me, please do feel free to let me know :)
