The essential guide to getting into drama school.
Packed with sound advice and essential information for young people who want to train as actors and performers (including musical theatre), this clear and honest guide is written by a teacher and audition panellist with a lifetime’s experience of the audition process. It will help all aspiring actors develop the self-confidence, motivation and skills required to get into the drama school of their choice.
Topics include:
• Researching and selecting the appropriate drama school
• Making yourself the best prepared candidate
• Choosing and preparing your speeches and songs
• Developing your working process and your self-awareness
• Coping with the audition day itself
• Considering your next steps if you do (or don’t) get in.
Also includes suggestions of speeches and songs to look at (as well as those you should avoid), information about the major UK drama schools, how to obtain funding, suggested further reading, and an introduction to the theatrical terms and genres that every prospective student should know.
Helen Freeman began her career as an actress before working increasingly as a teacher in classrooms and workshops. She has extensive experience of the audition process as an audition panellist and a student-performance assessor at the Guildford School of Acting.
