This compulsory full year module is fundamental to the CertHE programme's aim to prepare students to enter the next level of full-time acting or similar training for the professional theatre.
The work begins in Term One with an overview of drama training provision, focussing on 'accredited' Schools and courses. You will learn how to find audition pieces and explore criteria for assessing their suitability. You will begin the work of acquiring a repertoire of audition pieces specifically aimed at drama school audition environments.
In Term Two you will work on general presentation skills, including interview technique, for drama school auditions. You will begin rehearsal of material selected in Term One. Students will, under the guidance of their tutors with regard to individual student's preparedness in terms of audition pieces, select suitable courses and apply for further training in Term Two.
The work of the final term continues the expansion of repertoire and rehearsal of speeches. As students progress their applications for further training they are encouraged to share their experiences of audition practices at other institutions, their successes and rejections, so that collectively they will deepen their knowledge and understanding of audition technique.
