A six-week Intensive in Monologues, Devising & Interview Preparation
Tuesdays 24th February - 31st March from 6.30-8.30pm on Zoom.
If you’ve reached recalls, you’re already doing strong work.
This course is designed to help you maximise your chances at the stage where decisions are made.
If you’ve reached recalls, you’re already working at a high level.
This course focuses on strengthening the skills that matter most at audition: flexible monologue work, taking direction, devising and improvisation, clear interview technique, and managing nerves under pressure. Led by the specialist tutor team at The Actors’ Workshop Bristol, the course draws on our exceptional track record of recalls, offers, and successful drama school places across the UK’s leading conservatoires.
This is focused, professional preparation for applicants who are already through the door — and want to walk all the way through it.
Why Us?
The Actors’ Workshop Bristol is known for its consistently high hit rate (around 90% of foundation students are offered places on BA/MA courses at accredited UK conservatoires every year) at drama school auditions.
Our courses are taught by a specialist team of professional tutors — experienced actors, directors, devising practitioners, and panelists — all with deep knowledge of how recall days actually work.
They understand:
What panels are really assessing
Why strong applicants sometimes fall short
How decisions are made at final round
This course is built around that insider understanding.
No gimmicks.
No generic advice.
Just clear, rigorous preparation designed to raise your level under pressure.
This course is for current drama school applicants who:
Have recalls or final rounds for UK drama schools
Want to strengthen their ability to work flexibly and responsively in auditions
Are preparing for devising, improvisation, or group recall tasks
Want to ensure their monologues are consistently working for them, not against them
Want to handle redirection, interviews, and pressure with greater clarity and confidence
Are ready to develop the full skill set required at recall stage
This is not an introductory acting class.
It’s for applicants ready to work seriously and specifically at recall level.
Across six weeks, you’ll receive detailed coaching in three key areas:
Deepening choices, transitions and clarity
Flexibility: responding to redirection with imagination and intelligence.
Doing your best work under pressure: finding the sweet spot between relaxation and panic.
Making sure your recall monologue choices are working for you.
Workshops and devising tasks
Approaching devising with confidence and initiative
Skills for generating material quickly and collaboratively
Staying flexible, generous, and present in the room
Interview Preparation
Articulating curiosity, readiness, and self-awareness
Speaking clearly about your work and training
Being yourself and owning your space
Avoiding common interview pitfalls
You’ll receive direct, specific feedback and time to apply notes week by week — building confidence, reliability, and control.
Places are limited to make sure every students gets individual attention.
You will leave with:
Stronger, more adaptable monologues
Clear strategies for devising and group tasks
Confidence and consistency at recall stage
Interview clarity and professional self-presentation
A calmer, more grounded audition presence
Most importantly, you’ll be better equipped to convert recalls into offers.
