 Let's play the "Ask me anything and I'll edit in my answers later" game. Anything goes. Have at it. I'll post my answers tomorrow or something.
Edited with Solo's account on how the audition went:
"I was just about to say it started alright, but I was staying at a friend's house and I completely forgot my change of clothes, so it didn't actually go well right from the off ^_^; The drive up was fine- some nice songs played on the way up. The drama school itself was pretty dingy. Urm... not fetid or damp or anything, but it was literally a large house with a few barns converted into rehearsal rooms. I was expecting something more... um... sophisticated. It was quite nice, but very small.
It was my first audition for any drama school ever, so I had no idea what to really expect.
I guess what didn't help was me hinking that I may have broken one of my foot bones again when I tripped during a Gilgamesh rehearsal.
I don't think I have, but it was the same sort of pain. It's not hurting any more, I don't think.
Still, it must have affected me during the movement workshop. I was absolutely terrible. Normally I can manage a simple step-ball-change (one of the easiest dance moves ever) but I couldn't do it for toffee there. Every dance move I did just went... wrong. At least my singing bit went really well. I was pleased with that, heh. Still, after lunch it came time to do the speeches, and that was where the actual course directors came in and started getting impressions of me."
[About the speeches]
"Well... since I figured we'd be doing lots of movement classes, I thought a rather still piece in which I could show more facial expressions and vocal range would provide a decent amount of balance to me as a performer. Problem is, I didn't say that the guy I was playing was 70-something years old. They didn't seem to want the speech in the context of the actual play itself- just as a theatrical performance. They seemed to be much more about the traditional 'thespian' image of it, but what irks me is that not all theatre and acting is over-exaggerated to that degree. They said that I wasn't open enough with my body, and explained that the way I was hunched over in my speech shouldn't have been that way. And I do agree with them that I am not as confident with my body as I should be (and thought I was), but the speech was deliberately done like that. if they didn't like it they could have told me then rather than at the end of the day.
That's just what bothers me. If I'd explained earlier then I could have had a place, but as it is I may have to wait another year before going again. As it is I'm not too disappointed- I'm kinda looking forward to the opportunities a year out would bring. But even so, it's still frustrating nonetheless."
