About the course
Getting ready to apply for drama school? Prepare to excel in your drama school auditions with this summer course, designed for anyone applying for degree-level or drama school acting programmes.
Working with expert LAMDA tutors, you’ll work intensively on both classical and contemporary monologues throughout the week, culminating in a mock audition. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore self-tape technique for filming monologues, as well as general audition technique to help you find contrast in your monologues, handle redirection, and handle nerves with confidence.
Whilst participants are asked to come to the course with a selection of monologues to work on, there will also be ample opportunity to explore what makes a good monologue – how to select and edit a text, and how to choose pieces which show what you can do.
What will I learn?
During your time on the course, you will:
- Understand how to select and prepare both classical and contemporary monologues for drama school auditions.
- Learn how to self tape with confidence.
- Explore audition techniques and how to take redirection.
Is this course for me?
Participants must have some amateur/youth theatre-level acting or performance experience to get the most out of this course, and should be confident in the basics of selecting monologues.
We think that you’ll get the most out of this course if you’re interested considering applying to a conservatoire or higher education acting programme. You will most likely have done some drama/performance before, either at school/college or at amateur/youth theatre level.
