I can't thank you all enough for your professional insight (MTAonline), your pms and your kind thoughts. It has helped massively and I think all we can do is support our dcs, and be there whatever happens. The industry is forever morphing and although I am the best worrier on the planet, I can see h...

Bless you all so much for that, I can't tell you what it means. What with GCSEs, and then having our youngest leave home so early.... the text just touched a nerve I guess.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. Thank you again x

Thank you Munchpot x

Hello gang, I just wondered what your thoughts are on this? DS has been accepted by Emil Dale on a two year course for which he's leaving home. We're hugely grateful and a bit gobsmacked to be honest. When a now sadly ex-friend found out, I was sent a 3ft long text telling me many reasons why it was...

Happy to pm you if you would like x

Thanks so much for the advice - great as usual x

Hello fellow NAPMs, DS will be leaving home to study for his BTEC at Emil Dale in September, and will by then have gained his Grade 6 LAMDA we hope. Does anyone know whether he can continue LAMDA in Hitchin (not necessarily at EDA), or have experience of doing so alongside a full on BTEC course? Is ...

Can only speak personally about OUR gut feelings after attending a summer school event, and it wasn't for us. Happy to pm.

Please help... OK, so, after attending an open workshop your ds is invited to audition for a great BTEC scholarship 80 miles from home. He wants to go with every sinew in his body because of his passion and its reputation for getting students into arts ed and all the other ones beyond our means. BUT...

Me too - no idea at all. Always the last to know anything!

I've just watched an interesting piece on Channel 4 News this evening (Sunday 7th) highlighting how only 16% of actors are currently from a working class background. It is definitely not a level playing field, and it was really highlighted for me recently when I asked a friend of mine her opinion on...

Hi Lalaland, I found out quite by surprise one day that my ds was no longer on spotlight - our then agent simply hadn't bothered to renew membership or let us know what to do to renew membership. We weren't the only ones and from what I've heard the agent has since been blacklisted by equity for thi...

Thank you 2dancersmum and t_rose, that's a really useful insight and kind of you to reply. I know comparing the two is not comparing like for like but they are the two options open to school leavers at 16, hence my question. I did find an old thread on this site (2012) on this very subject and it po...

Hi Midlands NAPMs, calling on you again for your opinions... 3 year professional musical diploma at MADD, does anyone have any experience good or bad? Disadvantages of this rather than a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma which I understand carries UCAS points? We feel we don't know enough about all this...

Thank you so much Ibm1e14 for such a comprehensive reply - it certainly does sound amazing. Funding ofcourse lies at the heart of the matter which is such a shame. Really do appreciate all your information, thank you.
