This demanding and highly practical course will help you develop and craft your audition skills. It's particularly aimed at those thinking about applying to drama school, but may be of interest to those who want to explore specific pieces of performance text.

You will:

• receive individual feedback throughout
• sharpen and refine your acting skills
