As we are looking at audition for actor and specifically at drama schools, I did some research into a drama school across the UK to see what I could find out.
LAMDA
LAMDA is the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. It is an independent drama school offering vocational training in acting, stage management and technicians, directors and designers. This helps young people develop skills and high levels of creativity in order to produce the best opportunities in theatre, film, Radio and TV. Many applicants apply for to attend LAMDA at 18 years or above. Some are called for auditions and interviews which a panel will see before deciding on the usual 28 that are offered a place at the school each year.
Audition Process
They offer many different courses that LAMDA offers but for a standard three, two or one year acting course this is the requirements for the audition.
Applicants should present:
- One monologue from an Elizabethan or Jacobean play.
- One monologue from a play written in the 20th or 21st centenary but not a piece written by yourself or an unknown or little known author.
The school don't just have audition requirements for the material basis but physical requirements. they state that all applicants auditioning for acting courses come to the auditions wear comfortable clothing with suitable footwear.
After auditions, applicants usually have to wait 1-3 weeks to hear from the school again to find out if they make it through to the next stage of auditions.
LAMDA is on of the top drama schools in the UK and many people see this audition process as necessary in order to find the best theatrical students. LAMDA is a very successful school and that is partly down to their students so the audition process is vital for the future of the school.
