音乐剧留学概况——-院校推荐和申请要求
音乐剧是极具魅力的综合性表演艺术,欧美流行文化的代表。不同于单一的唱歌、舞蹈、表演,它是一种全新的文化体验,将音乐、舞蹈、戏剧表演、文学、历史、社会等各类知识结构有机的融为一体,以其绚丽的舞台形式呈现。
由于中国的音乐剧教育并不出色,因此很多学生考虑出国读音乐剧,音乐剧涉及到歌曲的表演以及独白,所以对学生的英文口语要求是高的。
出国读音乐剧专业,首先可以考虑英美,因为音乐剧的流行以及盛行,再加上得天独厚的英语环境,所以英美是大部分出国读音乐剧的学生首选。

声乐
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

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)
