    the process; you can read more details about Accept

    Admissions Procedure Guide  .

    Read our self-tape guide here  .

    Auditions
    The four audition stages
    ① Preliminary Audition, November to February

    ② Second Round, November to March

    ③ Short Workshop (three-hour session via


    Zoom), Feb to April

    ④ Full Workshop Day, April to May

    Preliminary Audition
    Preliminary auditions open in October. Your
    video will be seen in the first stage by two
    members of the audition panel. Your self-tape
    will consist of three audition speeches and a
    song. Each speech should last up to two
    minutes. You are also required to sing the
    verse and chorus of a song, unaccompanied.
    The song should last up to one and a half
    minutes.

    • Speech A - Classical
    The classical piece should be from
    Shakespeare or an Elizabethan/Jacobean
    playwright (Jonson, Marlowe, Webster, etc.). It
    should be originally written in English - so do
    not choose a piece from a Greek tragedy or a
    Molière comedy, for example. You can perform
    a monologue in your native language (mother
    tongue) if you prefer, but it must be
    accompanied by the same piece performed in
    English.
    • Speech B - Alternative Classical
    You must have an alternative classical piece
    prepared (same rules as Speech A).
    • Speech C - Contemporary
    The contemporary piece should provide a clear
    contrast to the classical pieces and be written
    after 1960. Do not use Chekhov or Shaw for
    this piece.
    • Song
    The song should be unaccompanied and
    consist of a verse and chorus ONLY.

    Second Round
    Video submissions of successful Applicants
    from the Preliminary Audition will be passed
    to a secondary panel consisting of three panel
    members.

    Short workshop
    A three-hour workshop. You should be
    prepared to perform both classical speeches
    (Speech A and Speech B) and the
    contemporary speech (Speech C) from earlier
    rounds. The workshop leader will pick one of
    your classical speeches for you to perform.

    Each Applicant will work with a director on


    their speech, to explore fully the material and
    opportunities within it. The director will be
    looking for an imaginative response to the text
    and character, physical and vocal adaptability,
    the ability to take direction.

    Full workshop day


    This is the final stage and you will need to
    prepare a new audition speech of your choice.
    It can be from any era, Greek to
    contemporary. We need to see a speech you
    have not shown or worked on in earlier
    stages.

    Other sessions include movement, voice and


    scene study.

    Our intention is that the day is relaxed and


    enjoyable for all applicants so that, regardless
    of the outcome, you will have had an
    enriching experience.

    Interview
    You will then have an individual interview with
    a senior panel member, lastly approximately
    15 minutes.
