Applying to Drama School with Dukes Drama
Applying to drama school is a multi-stage process — usually starting with a self-tape, followed by in-person auditions and interviews with possible call-backs and group workshops. With top drama schools accepting as few as 1-5% of applicants, expert guidance isn’t just helpful — it’s essential.
Our drama admissions consultants and acting coaches offer tailored, high-level support at every stage of your drama school application. From perfecting your monologues to acing your director feedback, here’s how we can help:
Our 90-minute drama consultations are the perfect first step in the application journey. You’ll meet 1-1 with one of our expert drama admissions consultants. Trained at top drama schools like RADA, Guildhall, and Yale, they are experienced in mentoring and coaching students to drama school offers.
In a consultation, we:
- Conduct a detailed review of your application, including feedback on audition pieces, personal statements, and overall presentation
- Create a personalised strategy to advance your application, including guidance on every step of the process, from selecting the right school to preparing for the audition
- Conduct a mini-mock audition and provide feedback on your performance
- Following the consultation, you’ll receive a comprehensive report with analysis of your application and recommendations for improvement
