Choral-Speaking

Group Syllabus Update

The Group Syllabus, covering our Group Acting, Devising Drama, Musical Theatre, Recital and Choral Speaking qualifications, is currently under review.

We intend to launch new versions of the syllabus in August 2025, with a view to examine from 1 January 2026. This will mean that the current version will likely be withdrawn as of 31 December 2025. These dates are provisional and may be subject to change.

To stay up-to-date, sign up for the Voiceover Newsletter and keep an eye on our Noticeboard.

About the exam

Choral-Speaking exams encourage groups to explore verse and prose pieces together. The group creates an imaginative performance that expresses the mood and themes of the text. 

All the members of the group speak in unison, as a chorus, and interact with one another as they perform. Learners may also take lines or phrases to recite alone or in a smaller group.

Groups must consist of at least three learners (there is no maximum), all performing together.   

Teamwork is essential. The group is graded as a whole, receiving one collective result for all their hard work.  

This is a non-regulated examination.

Requirements

Full details of the requirements, assessment criteria and regulations can be found in the LAMDA Group Graded Examinations Syllabus.
