Audition is an admission process conducted by some colleges, universities, and training institutes before giving admission to performing arts courses.

It is mainly conducted for courses such as Acting, Theatre, Dance, Music, Singing, and other performing arts programmes.

The purpose of the audition is to assess a student's talent, performance skills, confidence, creativity, and stage presence.

Students may be asked to perform a short acting scene, sing a song, dance, play a musical instrument, or perform another activity related to the course.

Example:

A student applies for a Certificate in Screen Acting.

The institute asks the student to perform a short acting scene or recite a dialogue.

The institute evaluates the student's acting skills, expressions, voice, confidence, and stage presence.

Based on the student's performance, the institute decides whether to offer admission or not.
