Auditions

If you’re looking to study music, performing arts or production arts, you’ll need to have an audition. As we have transitioned to blended learning, we are asking for all auditions to be submitted online.

For your digital audition, please choose and rehearse your audition piece, film it on your phone or tablet, and upload it to YouTube (you can use the ‘unlisted’ function) or other video sharing platform, and send us the link.

You can either email the link to casateam@westking.ac.uk with your name, date of birth and email address, or put the link into a Word document and upload the document to the applicant portal (you’ll need your username and password) – simply login, choose ‘Evidence’ in the left hand column, and upload the link as an ‘Interview/Assessment’ document.
