Its one reason why we decided to give up festivals. Dh had not ben before and hated it, said it wasn't what drama schools/casting directors were looking for.

Dd has become a bit more stagey these days and we are trying to tone her back down.

Dd still does Lamda but we have up the festivals.

The poem itself was fine as was how dd performed it for the exam She had done it at a festivdl the previous day and the festival adjudicator gave the opposite comments to Jo. The festivdl winners were very OTT and very Stagey whereas dd liked to perform in a more natural but expressive way. One diff...

Dd did it a few years ago when she was 8 and did her Lamda poem. It was really really useful because shed done a festival the day before where dh thought it was really Stagey and false and Jo confirmed our thoughts that's not what casting directors are looking for.

The Resident Ghost is one of the set anthology pieces for Level 1 (grades 1-3) so you arnt allowed to use it for Entry Level. I've not come across Stop Slimming Mum. Is it a standalone monologue from a collection or a extract from a play. I know Skellig is used for Verse & Prose. Did you adapt t...

We normally stay at Premier Inn but I've checked those dates and its really expensive. More expensive than we paid last year during the Olympics. I wonder why?

Dh's friend who is in the adult cast said something similar.

It's not my dd. this girl is 12.

I'm struggling to find a suitable monologue for a slightly older girl doing entry level acting. Most are too short. She doesn't want to do anything too young but the problem with monologues based on literature for older children is they are either not enough speech or they are just too in depth for ...
