Anyone doing LAMDA grades?

Just wondering what the theory is like for grade 7 acting and grade 6 speaking of verse and prose...

Far as I can remember, grade 6 v&p theory is about the passage of air as you breathe, and possibly sonnet form too.....I did it a while ago and before the syllabus changed though, so sorry if I'm not much help! Not sure about the acting one.

Edit: Ok, I just went and looked this up for you :smile:

Grade 6 V&P: You'll get asked about the story and characters in the book that your prose selection is from, and also questions about breathing, voice production, resonance and projection. You also need to know the theory from the previous grades cuz they might ask you that, i.e. emphasis and modulation, phrasing, pause, the difference between verse and prose.

Grade 7 Acting: You have to discuss for each of your pieces the writer's style, show you have knowledge of the period and how to apply this to your performance. Also again be prepared for questions from previous grades, such as what the character's objective is, is there anything the character isn't telling the audience, character, situation and staging.

Hope that helps you!
