Your first session
- Who is the class for?
- Actors aged 16+ preparing for, or thinking about, drama school auditions. Students can enquire themselves, or a parent or guardian can enquire for them.
- Do I need any experience?
- No. The class suits complete beginners as well as people who already have auditions lined up. Tell us where you are when you enquire.
- What should I bring and prepare?
- Comfortable clothes you can move in, water, and a monologue if you have one. If you don't have a piece yet, that's fine; we'll help you choose one.
- Where is it and when should I arrive?
- Every Wednesday, 6:30–9pm, in Islington, N1 0DX. The full address and arrival details are sent with your booking confirmation.
- What happens in the session?
- Group audition work led by tutors who trained at top drama schools and now work in TV, Film and West End theatre: monologues, interview practice and direction, with individual feedback.
- Is there any commitment afterwards?
- No. Booking a first session doesn't sign you up for the term. You can choose to continue afterwards.
- What if I need to cancel?
- Cancellations and date changes follow our Get Into Drama School Terms & Conditions at reacttheatreco.com/drama-school-terms and our booking terms at reactmembers.com/terms, which cover single sessions and term bookings.
Where our tutors trained
You'll perform for audition panels from
Every term you'll perform monologues in front of real audition panellists from Central, ArtsEd and LAMDA, and get feedback on exactly what those panels are looking for.
An audition shouldn’t be the first time these skills matter.
Most students only practise audition technique seriously when a drama-school deadline appears. We do the opposite.
Students train regularly in a relaxed environment, so the individual skills become familiar long before the pressure arrives.
The aim isn’t to teach students how to “perform an audition”. It’s to develop actors who know how to work when the pressure arrives.
- Making bold choices
- Understanding text
- Selecting and developing monologues
- Taking redirection
- Adjusting quickly
- Acting naturally on camera
- Working with a reader
- Entering an audition room confidently
- Talking comfortably in interviews
- Handling nerves
- Recovering when something doesn’t go to plan
