Is this course for me?

This course is ideal for anyone considering training to be an actor, who would like to know more about what audio performance training is like at a drama school.  

There are many routes into the industry, and many actor training courses out there. Participating in this course is a way of finding out more about yourself and what your next steps are.  

This course is also perfect for professional actors, who did not receive audio performance training in previous places of study.  

We encourage applications from prospective students of all ages to this course, and we will endeavour to place students in pairs and groups where they're working with others of a similar age. No previous acting experience is required to partake in this course.
