音樂(lè)劇是極具魅力的綜合性表演藝術(shù)，歐美流行文化的代表。不同于單一的唱歌、舞蹈、表演，它是一種全新的文化體驗(yàn)，將音樂(lè)、舞蹈、戲劇表演、文學(xué)、歷史、社會(huì)等各類知識(shí)結(jié)構(gòu)有機(jī)的融為一體，以其絢麗的舞臺(tái)形式呈現(xiàn)。

由于中國(guó)的音樂(lè)劇教育并不出色，因此很多學(xué)生考慮出國(guó)讀音樂(lè)劇，音樂(lè)劇涉及到歌曲的表演以及獨(dú)白，所以對(duì)學(xué)生的英文口語(yǔ)要求是高的。

出國(guó)讀音樂(lè)劇專業(yè)，首先可以考慮英美，因?yàn)橐魳?lè)劇的流行以及盛行，再加上得天獨(dú)厚的英語(yǔ)環(huán)境，所以英美是大部分出國(guó)讀音樂(lè)劇的學(xué)生首選。

聲樂(lè)

Students should prepare two contrasting pieces. We would like you to prepare Option A from the Common Pre-Screen process:

One song should be a ballad and one song should be an uptempo

One song should be written prior to 1970. This song can be either the uptempo or the ballad (student’s choice).

One song should be written after 1970 and contrast the style of the first (can include jukebox musicals)

Each song file should be 60-90 seconds (this time limit includes the slate at the beginning of the piece and is strictly adhered to; please do not upload media files longer than 90 seconds)

Students must sing to live or recorded accompaniment; no a cappella singing

Songs should be filmed in a 3/4 shot, which means the top of the head to the knees should be visible in the frame

表演

We would like you to prepare Option A from the Common Pre-Screen process:

One 60-90 second contemporary monologue (written during the 20th Century-present) from a published play. This time limit includes the slate at the beginning of the piece and is strictly adhered to; please do not upload media files longer than 90 seconds.

The contemporary monologue should be filmed in a “close-up” shot which means the top of the head to the chest should be visible in the frame

Monologues cannot be from musicals, television shows, or movies

Each monologue file should be 60-90 seconds in length (this time limit includes the slate at the beginning of the piece; please do not upload media files longer than 90 seconds)

Students with dance training or experience (ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, Salsa, South Asian, folk, swing, etc.) are especially encouraged to do so. “Wild card” examples may include playing an instrument, performing a self-written song or monologue, rap, acrobatics, stand up comedy, spoken word, magic, drag, impersonations, etc.
