Choosing a London Acting School There are so many acting schools to choose from in London if you intended on attending a London acting school. Many of these schools are even reputable schools. Considering the breakdown given below will enable you decide on which one is right for you with respect to finance, time, opportunities you have as a student and many other criteria. The list is as follows:

Reputation You should ask questions about the auditions, acceptance rates etc. of any school you have heard something good about. The best form of marketing is often word-of-mouth, and it’s usually not directly influenced or painted by the schools in question. The Main Focus ofthe School You would need to figure out the kind of career you want and find out what schools focus on it since acting schools focus on either theatre or film. A school whose focus is theatre would not be the best choice for you if you want a career in film. The Faculty You would want to ensure you are working with working actors as they will be influencing your development as an actor so find out as much as you can about the teachers.


Classes Together with acting classes, the London school of your choice should offer other courses including costumes and make–up, acting for the camera, movement, vocal production and auditioning. Training Methods Since you may not yet know which technique works best for you, you would want a school which offers so many varieties of techniques. Performance You cannot develop into a good actor without as many opportunities as possible to be put on stage. Working in front of agents and casting directors is non-negotiable so make enquiries as to whether the school offers lots of these opportunities.

Length of Studies You should find a London acting college like Method Acting that offers a program compatible with how much time you want to dedicate to acting. And if you’re unsure if you want to be an actor, find one that allows you to begin with several acting classes so you can move on from there. Acting Degree You will better off and have more options if you receive a Bachelor or Master’s Degree than if you get none so check with the school to know what


you’ll receive at the end of your training. Preparing For the Marketplace If the school can provide help with cover letters, headshots, resumes and even help you land a job, great! A London acting school that also offers workshops and seminars with working professionals will be of great benefit too. And those with film departments are also great choices since you’ll probably get the opportunity to work with filmmakers. The Price You should consider how much cost you can bear and choose from the list of school accordingly. Since you’ll be paying for a lot of things including transportation, supplies, room, tuition and books, a school that offers some kind of financial aid will be a great pick.
