Auditioning for Drama School: Online Intensive

• Mentoring Session: Every participant will receive a 20-minute one-to-one mentoring session before the first group session to establish their individual goals. This session includes tailored advice and, if needed, participants will be provided with a list of potential monologues to use for their upcoming auditions.
• Flexible Learning Groups: Each evening, two online groups will run simultaneously, focusing on different areas such as monologue work, interview preparation, or sight-reading. Participants can choose the group that best aligns with their current needs. Numbers in each group are kept small to ensure individual attention and focused support.
• Customized Learning Levels: The course accommodates all levels, from beginners working on Round 1 auditions to those advancing to Round 2 or 3. This structure ensures every participant is supported at the right level for their progress.
• Tasks and Feedback: Participants will receive tasks to complete each week to maximise their progress during the course.

Mock Audition in Week 5

The course culminates in a mock audition, where participants will present their work and receive detailed feedback and guidance from RCS staff. This session is designed to simulate the drama school audition experience and provide invaluable advice for your next steps.

You should come with prepared speeches

You will need access to a device such as a desktop computer, laptop or tablet which allows you to access the internet with a screen large enough to see the group members during online sessions. You will need internet connection which is fast enough to take part in video sessions on MS Teams and to watch film footage.

You may also want to consider whether you have a space you can use where you can work without interruption. Please keep in mind that the other students taking part in the course will be able to see what’s behind you when you are online.

• Plan and prepare to attend all classes
• Dress comfortably in clothes which are suitable for the activity you are taking part in.
• Bring a notepad and pen/pencil in case you wish to make notes.
• Please bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated during your class.

This course is ideal for anyone preparing for drama school auditions, whether you are just starting or looking for guidance on advanced audition rounds. Attendance at all five sessions is strongly recommended to achieve the best results.

Students should be open, honest, generous, respectful, hard-working and willing to work as part of a team.

This course requires you to complete tasks and exercises outwith class. To get the most out of the course it is important that you can dedicate time to do so.

This course will run online on Thursday evenings for 5-weeks from  16 January – 13 February 2025, 6pm – 8.30pm.

The course fee is £190, and can be paid in full or in instalments before the course end date.
