Many thanks! Pandora, was that for stagebox or spirit?

Thanks, are they both easy to get onto?

Which is the better training? Looking for 9 year old. In London. Very strong singer and actor, not a strong dancer. Passionate about musical theatre.

Thanks all, heard this afternoon and had a very happy kid in the house!

Has anyone who made the london stagebox finals had an offer this week? We got told Monday the 8 July, but have not heard anything yet? Do you hear via email or snailmail?

Grade 3 LAMDA is incredible high for a 9 year old. LAMDA used to have minimum age requirements and they recommended a minimum of age 11 for Grade 3. Going higher would mean a bit of a conflict between his age, maturity and the type of repertoire they are expected to perform. What does concern me th...

He’s 9 and what’s should be relaxed for both of you doesn’t appear so. Exams like LAMDA etc and grades I believe are Really not important in the grand scheme of things, colleges don’t care or ask what LAMDA you have spent a fortune on.

My DS is 9. His acting and singing is his world. Currently at school he is doing his ABRSM singing as well as conducting lessons. After school He does his LAMDA Musical theatre.

I wondered reading your post whether perhaps your DS ...

Although it is not so glamorous, why not try for local shows and panto, they are still great learning experiences and maybe take a break from the film/tv until he feels more inclined to do it. If he is not enjoying the process right now it might put him off for good, which will be a shame as he sou...

Can you afford fees and boarding? If he wants to concentrate on just acting then The Hammond has a Lower School drama course where they only have to do one class a week of dance (and its basic movment dance, their actual dancers are on a separate course) but it is in Chester so quite a long way fro...

Hi, hoping to get some advice here as really unsure what to do. I have a 9 year old DS. He sings from the minute he wakes till he goes to bed. He acts every spare minute he gets. He has an agent, goes to a saturday performing group, Does his LAMDA Musical Theatre (Grade 3 Distinctions all the way), ...
