Hi this has been really helpful for me thanks, I am considering musical theatre and I know you said you tried out for 12 places. Do you think that is a good amount of places to apply to?
hello i know i am late to this but this is my first time auditioning ever for any company i am doing PQA and i just wana know some tips like what shall i do in an audititon what shall i be ready for and how will it go and just that stuff !!
Did they help you to become an actor, for example, did Drama Studio London help you to get roles in Netflix shows or movies? I'm curious because I want to join as well but I don't know if it's worth it as there are other acting schools such as reel scene.
The school itself provides training with the aim of you working as an actor, but any employment comes after when you might get an agent or apply for auditions yourself. You can pay for courses that specialise in making show reels etc but I do get a show reel as part of my course x
Thank you! No you don’t, especially not for a straight acting course but if it’s a musical theatre course then experience and knowledge helps but they don’t expect you to be trained otherwise you wouldn’t need the course! Hope that helps x
I love your videos so much! Watching your videos made me audition for Drama Studio London and now I've been offered a place for September on the 1 Year Diploma! So excited to start! xx
Hi there, thank you for the video!! Do you think that is possibile to have a successful audition even if a person doesn't have basically any acting experience?
Hey I go to Artsed and they only do Level 3 Diploma in acting which is equivalent to 3 a levels. But if you want to do Alevel Drama you need to get a 7 in drama GCSES.
JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL UR HELPFUL VIDEOS I USED A MONOLOGUE YOU SUGGESTED AND RECEIVED AN OFFER BACK FROM ROYAL CENTRAL SCHOOL OF SPEECH AND DRAMA- YOURE A GEM KEEP UP ALL THE HARD WORK BEAUT!!!
@@EllieIsabelle the problem is is that i need to send a video. Do you know how they will exam us through videos, like what they are looking for. also thx for the reply
Everyone will be looking for something different so it’s hard to know exactly what they want, just go with what you think is right and be present, in the moment, using your whole body like you would in person
Hi there I am in Indian and I'm really passionate towards dramatics especially theatre. I also want to get into a good drama school but my family can't afford sending me there. Can you please tell me whether they also provide you with 100% scholarship
It depends on the drama school, look into the ones you want to go to and see if they offer any scholarships or bursaries. If you can’t find anything on the website then try emailing them and they’ll definitely tell you what they can offer you financially.
Great video! My acting teacher has recommended Many Moons to me and like you mentioned I love the Birthday monologue but I was just wondering if you heard many other people doing that one for auditions as I don’t want to pick one that’s super popular!! Thankyou💫
Thank you! I haven’t personally heard anyone do the birthday monologue, but I was told by a few teachers on my foundation that the other Juniper monologue ‘I am looking for love’ is quite popular for auditions, which is why I didn’t do that one. So I didn’t hear the birthday one being done last year when I auditioned, not sure if it will be more popular this year or not, but maybe have a second backup monologue that you can use just in case? x
Hiya Ellie! Love your videos they are so helpful! I have started reading both Many Moons and Playing with Grown ups recently. I am applying for drama schools this year for Musical Theatre. To put it short, I think both monologues are great, but I prefer Junipers monologue over Stellas monologue; but I am worried that because the character is 24, that that may be considered too old?? What are your thoughts? Should I go for Stellas because of the fact she is 16 even though I prefer the other monologue? Thank you so much!! Hope you reply!🥺xx
If the monologue doesn’t really mention or rely on the age of the character, and you can still relate to it, then I would go for the Juniper one as you’ll enjoy performing it more Xx
Hiya Ellie, I love your channel! I’m auditioning this year and I’m looking at PPA, did you do a Shakespeare piece when you auditioned there? I’m not sure wether to do 2 contemporary pieces or one contemporary and one classical xx
Thank you! When I auditioned last year they had a set list of monologues and you had to learn one of them so I didn’t do a Shakespeare, but I would go with what you’re more confident with and the two monologues that would show more of a contrast. Maybe learn 2 contemporary pieces and a classical and see how you feel on the day? Or ask what they would prefer, that may make them impressed as you will be so well prepared! Xx
Right now if I want to apply I should send a self tape to the acting school .. any advice I can get from you for that bcz I really don’t know how it’s going to be !
My advice is to make sure you read through the instructions they give you for the self tape and that you’re definitely doing it how they want you to. Also make sure your background is as plain/blank as possible so nothing is too distracting. Also there’s a tendency to want to make the self tape absolutely perfect, which is completely understandable, but be careful not to obsess over little details, as you’ll just be redoing it over and over and it’ll never seem perfect. Xx
Juniper from Many Moons by Alice Birch, Lilly from Punk Rock by Simon Stephens, Viola from Twelfth Night and Silvia from Two Gentlemen of Verona! Hope this helps x
Hey! Hope this video helps people - ask any drama school/audition related questions and I'll do my best to answer them!

I go over the first line of the monologue, only adding the next line when I have learnt the previous one. Then after doing that I try and get someone to go over the lines with me, correcting me if I mess up xx
