That's amazing! Congrats on your past success with auditions! This will be my first year auditioning for drama schools - can I ask what you did during this last year after not getting an offer last year? Also, do you have any audition tips you'd recommend? I'm also considering HNC/foundation courses in case I don't get onto a BA course this year. Wishing you the best of luck this audition season!

Great, I can’t give incredible advice because it’s my first year but I can say to just pick monologues you are passionate about but your age range so don’t do a monologue which is a character of like 60 years old. Also ensure you know the play your monologue is from just so you can portray the character better. Which schools is she applying to ?

Hey, thank you! I did shylocks speech from merchant of Venice and the winters tale Hermione speech.song wise I just did stay with me by San smith, i don’t really think it matters which song you choose. They don’t expect you to be prof singers, most importantly ensure you’re comfortable singing it(it’s in your range and you know the words). Really think about what the lyrics are and mean them, i think it’s about storytelling (communicating) through song rather than having a nice” voice

I can only speak for the first few weeks but it’s slow but not in a bad way, very detailed. Understanding but firm tutors. Strong Shakespeare/classical background.
