Re: Applying for 2013

i agree about getting auditions under yor belt.....and most importantly, dont give up after a rejection.

our DS was rejected after his very first audition and didnt get a call back, whereas after that it was call backs every time!

Good luck :D

Re: Applying for 2013

having gone through the process of applying and auditioning this year, I think you have to btake account of the costs involved which with travel soon mounts up. I reckon we spent around £1500 this year, and luckily it paid off with DS getting into Mountview. I am no expert on it but certainly use th...

Re: 2012 DRAMA SCHOOL APPLICATIONS

Hi all. Our DS didn't get into CSSD so its MV for september!! He has made a decision based on the fact that the employment statistics on completion are very favourable and the DaDA also helps. :D

Re: Qualifications to aim for

This may sound negative, but you also have to consider the situation that should you not get into a drama school, it may be best to look at A Levels rather than a Btec as it may give an individual a more rounded list of qualifications. I may be old fashioned here but I do work in FE college and have...

Re: 2012 DRAMA SCHOOL APPLICATIONS

No news yet, but it may take a few days. Having spent a bit of time around the area, I did like the feel of CSSD and very handy for tube etc, so it will be high on his favourites list. But like most auditions/ interviews you never quite know what they are looking for. If its a no, i think MV will be...

Re: 2012 DRAMA SCHOOL APPLICATIONS

Hi all. DS now completed all of his auditions for the year and did extremely well, with only Bristol old Vic not giving him a recall out of the 7 he actually went for (didnt go to Laban or LIPA in the end). Typically it was his first audition so it did bring us all down to earth. I must admit I am p...

Re: 2012 DRAMA SCHOOL APPLICATIONS

Good points from welshmum and pg, I suppose the agents must get the info from the schools on who to look out for too. I'm looking forward having a look around cssd on Monday, so let's see how DS goes on.

Re: 2012 DRAMA SCHOOL APPLICATIONS

I have been reading the showcases and I reckon some of these places take on far too many for eveyone to have a fair shot at promoting themselves and surely class size is going to be a key factor. CSSD only had 16 in their showcase cast against 40+ at RB and MV.
