Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry
Hi, my DD has just attended the Italia Conti audition preparation course, which she enjoyed and found useful, but I think it was a bit of a reality check for her! She had thought her singing was her strength as she has got a strong belt but although she received overall good feedback on her singing...

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry
Ooo I think it’s a viable option transport wise, and they have host families! Will definitely consider this. Thank you. All I would say is not to expect the same intensity of MT training that you would get from eg Emil Dale. It worked well for DS as we couldn't afford anything fee-paying, and he wa...

Re: Italia Conti Accommodation
Sorry to be late to this. My DD is just going into 2nd year at Conti the vast majority of students live in Guildford and commute. I believe there is a bus from Guilden Village now and the train is 6 mins DD tells me. She and most of her friends will be living around Guildford Station. Last year many...

2022 entry how are we all doing as the first year draws to a close.
Now most people are either working on or have done their first year showcase how are all the DC getting on. Conti definitely suits my DD she seems pretty happy with what her strengths and weaknesses are. She has discovered she has a standard broadway voice and is loving that. The lack of student acc...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry
Hi I just wanted to thank everyone who had given me advice either by DM or on this thread for my DD's offer for foundation at Conti. All really good advice - she's been back and forward over what to do but has just accepted the place! Now very excited to be there for a year - just got to sort accom...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry
Rumour has it that Conti send audition results through when their foundation students aren’t in school which is very considerate so that would be late evening or the weekend.DD was in the recall for Arts on that Tuesday and has yet to hear anything. Waiting is the worst bit and even then, at best t...

Re: HELP PLEASE
As the mum of a fellow first year it has been a real rollercoaster. The initial elation, sobbing at October half term and Christmas not wanting to go back. This term an injury meant she could dance and was really miserable then. This week seems to be better as the performances are becoming clearer -...

Re: Auditioning for 2023 entry
Hello to those who have joined us! @Alro, I am sure your DD has the right idea to get organised and audition early. Sadly DS, although very keen, does not really do 'early'. He's in a show in half term, and juggling rehearsals and schoolwork, so every time I suggest maybe looking at some monologues...

Re: Mt sixth forms
Read College in Reading they have an access to the arts fund to help with the fees.
DD is now in the first year at Conti and says she is appreciating just how good the Read training was.

Re: Colleges and their different focuses
Conti is the only place where there is truly even triple threat everywhere else has a sight bias towards one skill. Urdang/Bird - slightly more dance. Though Urdang has an actor/singer group from year 2. Moutview - slightly more acting. Does your DD have any advice as to what her strengths are? My D...

Re: Auditioning for 2022 entry
My DD is also very happy. After years of convert churches and church halls she is adoring Conti’s brand new facility.
Legit MT this term and having previously been a reluctant legit performer she is loving it.
