The essential guide to getting into drama school.

Packed with sound advice and essential information for young people who want to train as actors and performers (including musical theatre), this clear and honest guide is written by a teacher and audition panellist with a lifetime's experience of the audition process. It will help all aspiring actors develop the self-confidence, motivation and skills required to get into the drama school of their choice.

Topics include:

  • Making yourself the best prepared candidate
  • Choosing and preparing your speeches and songs

  • Coping with the audition day itself
  • Considering your next steps if you do (or don't) get in.
