I hope that I can offer some support for all you parents and students out there who haven’t had the news you wanted this year and maybe this is your 2nd or 3rd year of trying. It’s so hard to keep watching your child fail and then watch as they pick themselves up, dust themselves off and try and get...

Hi Lawn, My DS was extremely picky about only wanting to go to one of the top straight schools and didn't want to even try for a school that offered MT and straight combined. He also had a few US ones on his list but there is no point even looking at those until we complete this year. Mountview is a...

Hi, I have found this site so helpful but for straight acting the info is a bit different so I hope I can shed some light? 1. The straight acting courses at the top schools excluding Arts Ed are fully student financed through student finance England and maintenance grand funded which is means tested...

Hi Allarts, I think you did exactly the right thing and if I could have persuaded DS to audition at ArtsEd and Mountview I would have, but he was set on straight acting and both of those schools have great MT courses as well as straight. He was single minded in his audition list although he did revi...

Hi there Lawn No he didn't do a foundation and that was deliberate. The top 8 schools are very different in their training methods actually and after talking to lots of people he decided he didn't want to end up with a foundation course for one school and then he would be unattractive to the others ...

Hi everyone, My DS is in his 3rd year of auditioning for straight drama schools. He has a final at RWCMD, recall at RADA and a final recall at LAMDA (still has BOV Drama Centre and Guildhall 1st auditions later in April) Can anyone tell me how many are in the final recall round for LAMDA in the UK? ...

Hi, My DS has been in NYT for 3 years and we aren't in London, he stayed in Laban rooms for his 2 week summer course and had a great time as others have said. He has been to casting auditions for the past 2 years and had quite a bit of work the first year and not so much last year. The main producti...

Hi Everyone, does anyone know how RWSMD send out offers for the Drama BA students? is it an email, or through status change on CUKAS or do they send in the post? also how long after final recalls do they send? Im expecting rejections via email quite quickly but don't know. DS had a final recall ther...

Congratulations on the 2nd 1st audition. It means that they are liking you but a bit unsure. Do your strongest monologue and add a new one, so if your contemporary was your strongest, do that again but change your shakespeare and vice versa. Act the song!!!!! act the song!!! I can't stress that enou...

Hi everyone, Couple of castings posted today on NYT. Not right for my DS but may suit yours. Its an open casting and you don't need to be a member of NYT to apply. Opportunity: CASTING FOR THE LEAD PART in a Film London commissioned short film. Japanese Samurai Sword has been commissioned by FILM LO...

Are you able to suggest any young performers? FEATURE FILM CASTING CALL FOR 7-9YR OLD BOY- ‘GOODBYE CHR...

My DD was 15 when the spots appeared, on her face mostly forehead and chin and very badly on her back and even a bit on her chest. It affected her confidence and the Dr prescribed lotion and antibiotics, this worked well for 3 months and then they all came back as her body adjusted. No topical treat...

Hi there, Just to add to that, I agree with trying out for NYT, my DS has been a member for 3 years and has had lots of work from them including two lots of work in London. Its extremely good experience and also good networking. In addition NYT now also provides another route to entry in the market ...

Hi there, yes he was there all day Saturday. He also got told 10 days, but I know that no's are sent out very early, so was on the lookout. Interesting that they are still doing their first rounds but have 4 recall days scheduled and will make offers in 10 days. I couldn't figure it out. Makes more ...

Hello everyone, I just wondered if anyone knew how long it normally takes Drama Centre to give out offers after the final recall day? my DS has had his final recall and so am wondering how long the wait will be? thanks.
