Do you dream of being a professional actor? The entertainment industry is highly competitive: the key to success is thorough preparation and excellent training. Quality of training is more important than raw talent!
THE ACTORS’ WORKSHOP is not just another drama school. Instead, our inspirational workshops, led by industry porfessionals, build on your existing accomplishments, taking performance skills to a new level,and preparing young actors for the exacting demands of the profession.
All aspects of the audition process are covered, including dance, monologues (including Shakespeare), TV and film preparation, vocal coaching, accents/dialect, presenting skills, stage combat, and microphone technique. We also offer specialised individual careers advice and guidance with drama college applications.
Our dedicated college audition class takes students through the application and audition process, covering everything from writing personal statements to finding funds, intensive work on speaches and songs and advice on which colleges are the best match for each individual performer.
Many of our students are already working in the business; others are successfully auditioning for drama courses at colleges in London and elsewhere. (Current students have been offered places at Mountview, Italia Conti, Laine and the London Studio Centre.)
Workshops lead to an annual company showcase with West End agents and television casting directors, and also selected modelling agencies.
The course is aimed at serious and dedicated performers aged between eight and twenty-one years. Teachers Clara Marullo, Andy Cryer, Chris Donnelly and others are all working professionals with many West End and TV credits, including the RSC, Welsh National Opera, Glyndebourne, Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory, Northern Broadsides, The Bill, Emmerdale, Heartbeat, Les Mis, Barnum, Bugsy Malone and Little Shop of Horrors.
We are affiliated with SRA Agency and SID Casting, but also periodically invite other agents to hold auditions for our members.
