Central School of Speech and Drama auditions!!!!!

Anyone who applying to drama school should read this, if they think it will be 'easy' it's nice they admit competition for drama school is harder than oxbridge, easily - coincidently Christian Burgess at Guildhall, the head of acting in that article - auditioned me.. coolest guy ever!




There was 14 in my group, 5 were recalled ... 3 for Stage and Screen, 1 For Musical stage & 1 for Devised Theatre.. so we had a high recall rate!

There was one girl who i thought was great, she made the panels laugh their ass off - but they did not recall her, I was dissapointed with my judgment as i would have recalled her sitting in that seat & there was one girl who i thought was decent, but they gave her recall - they really are judging many things.


What was interesting though....was the amount of young people who got recalls for acting stage and screen, I was 21 & the second oldest.

Central is the the most stressful first round audition that I've had - more stressful than guildhall & they audition something like 4500-5000 people for a total of 48+ spaces in three strands, everything is possible - good luck.

I have an Interview on the 21st December for Stage Management

Im soo nervous I have butterflies in my stomach, but I'm excited because I love the school!!

Took a huge gamble by ONLY applying to one uni - Central, to do Stage Management.

Had my interview on December 17th, and when I saw how many people were going for SM I thought I was screwed and wouldn't get in.

Lo and behold, yesterday I open Track to find an offer from Central RiDONKulously excited, and so glad that I won't have to try again next year

Anyone else heard back for a Theatre Practice strand?

Heyy.. I'm applying for SM at central this year.. Any tips or advice?? =)

Prepare yourself for the workshops by doing all the bits they request. Make the portfolio if you take one, to be very focused and presented well, even if theres only one or two pages in it. Make sure you understand the full extent of the pathway you are applying for and if not ask questions. Also just start thinking outside the box, so look at specific details for some things as it will gain you points.
good luck
