I auditioned for the RBC in February 2019 and overall had an awesome experience at the preliminary audition. I auditioned at the conservatoire and the audition cost £75 which you pay before hand on the UCAS website. This was a single audition for the BA Honours Acting programme.
QUICK DISCLAIMER: This post is not intended to be used as a guide or a rundown of the exact experience you would experience. It is simply a recount of my experience on the day which one might use to have a vague idea of what to expect.Keep in mind as years go on the process may change
Anyway now that's out of the way lets get into it !
One thing which I found really helpful was the warm up before hand.The audition before this was for a Post Leaving Cert course where we just sat in a corridor waiting for your slot. However at the RBC there were 12 people in my time slot(which isn't mentioned so keep that in mind that you probably won't be seen straight away. Not only were we properly warmed up but we were warmed up by a current student on the course.This was a real help as we were able to ask questions about the course from a students perspective.Everyone was also given 5 minutes on their own before they went in. This was so everyone had a chance to practise in silence and calm down before going in.
Another thing which was really awesome was the live feedback. Often times you have to go searching for feedback and it'll take a while. However what was handy about the RBC audition process was that you received immediate and professional feedback. I also had four other auditions after the RBC one so I could apply the feedback and corrections for my other auditions.
Overall it was a good experience but I would advise people to not make plans for an hour from your audition time due to not knowing what the running order for your group is. Overall I really enjoyed the warm up and the live feedback.
