Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Studying in London, Drama Schools and Applying.

Hey guys,

Just posting a quick thread to anyone who wants help or can offer help.

So I past my A Levels years ago (I'm 24 now) and since then have just worked numerous jobs. I have however always pursued my hobbies from Scuba Diving to Acting. I have Acted for many years, mainly amateur productions on camera and off but want to pursue it further.

I find myself a more practical Actor than Academic (although both would be a plus) I've researched a few Drama Schools in London and would like any help or advice at all from anybody.

I understand the requirements and auditions to many of the Drama Schools are quite full on and require a lot of work.

My main questions are;

What's it like to live in London from accommodation to living expenses?

What are YOUR experiences and advise you can give to anyone wanting to apply for the London Drama Schools, from Guildhall to Drama Centre London.

If anyone has any advice or can offer any links to where to start in applying or what's it like. Please post.

Many thanks
