@K8 if you had to rank her 3 skills (acting, singing, dance), what order what you put them in? Just trying to think where might suit!

Well here I am again! I thought I’d finished and decisions had been made. DD auditioned last year after doing a BTech at a performing arts 6th form, she was late in applying and I don’t think that helped. She got two offers ICT Brighton, which she didn’t like so much and Chichester. She had gone fo...

Anyone starting degree apps? Torn in our house as to try and do any this side of Xmas or wait till after. I would say to stagger your applications. Some of them may ask for self tapes, and you don't want to be doing several of those at once in a short time frame and having the quality suffer. Any a...

Well it’s done. She thought it went well and she performed her best, but she didn’t get an interview. They specifically said that doesn’t mean it’s a no, but she is convinced it does and is gutted. Urgh! Sorry to hear your DD didn't get an interview. It's such a tough world to put yourself into at ...

@MT East. Break a leg to your DD for tomorrow. A friend's DD is at EDA today for a 6th form audition and although they were asked to prepare 2 songs they've only done one. Just so your DD is forewarned that this may happen - be ready to choose just one if necessary.

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...

I'm a veteran of last year's thread (DS now at GSA doing BA Acting and very happy) but I wanted to hop onto this thread, firstly to wish all of you and your DC the very best for what can be an exciting, terrifying, painful and unpredictable journey, and secondly to say @MTEast that if your DD's app...

Congratulations to your DD lotsalaffs! That's such great news that she went straight into a national tour and now has panto work lined up. GSA is certainly having a lot of success at the moment. I hope she continues to be in demand!

Best of luck to Lawn and ProseccoPlease's DC! Have a wonderful time. @Ditzi, I'm sorry to hear your DD is feeling a bit left behind. Are there any NYT things she could get involved in? Do you live somewhere she could get some work at a local theatre? I'm sure she will soon feel busy enough with mono...

September is here, so I just wanted to pop on here to say a huge GOOD LUCK to the DC who are starting their training this month after the vicissitudes of the last year of auditioning, and to those who didn't get what they wanted in 2023, much courage and determination for trying again. All the kids ...

My son knows someone who is starting at Italia Conti, and they are going here: https://futuregeneration.com/student-ac ... n-village/

my DD has just finished her 3 year BA degree at Chichester doing MT Triple threat. She would not recommended it at all. she loves acting but only received 2 hours a week and voice coaching was limited. lots of dance if thats your thing but but its not triple threat. contact hours are low and the qu...

@Lawn Hoorah! Many congrats to your DD! I hope she has a great time. Sorry to hear about expensive halls though - this whole process is eye-wateringly expensive. Just have to hope they work afterwards!!

Sending all the best to all the parents going through this with your kids. It’s a never ending roller coaster.. First it’s getting a place at a drama school that you hope for. Then it’s the placing within classes and grading. Then it’s who gets what in the final shows. Then it’s a battle for the ri...
