Do I Need to Audition For Acting School?

May 28th, 2009 Posted in Acting School

As an admissions counselor for the New York Film Academy I am most frequently asked “to be admitted into the acting program must I audition?”. As an NYFA Acting School applicant you do not have to audition, however, auditioning will be able to determine your skill level for either the audition or open enrollment track, see how great you take direction, determine the possibility of offering you scholarship money and auditioning also gives you the experience of an audition.

For our one and two-year acting programs, we do require you take a “camera test” which allows for an audition style critique of your level of acting experience and abilities. While most acting schools will require you to audition prior to being accepted, the New York Film Academy everyone deserves the chance to receive top quality education if they are dedicated to improving their craft.

I strongly suggest you audition. We would love to meet and get to know you, it gives us the opportunity to show you the school, answer your questions face to face and help you through the admissions process.  If you would like to be a part of this opportunity please contact me in the admissions office by phone at (212) 674-4300.
