Auditioning for Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts?

Question

Or maybe even BADA.

I live in America.

What do I need to do to audition for them?& What can I do to prepare myself?Are there any specific requirements for auditioning?

Answer 1

The site doesn't leave any exact information about the audition process.  However It must be tough because they only accept 30-40 students a year.  There are no requirements everyone is encouraged to audition.  Get involved in every dramatic event in your community, school, or even go to cattle call auditions (a lot of people go so be the best of the best)

Answer 2

Just be aware that as a non-UK citizen you'll have to pay full fees if you get accepted - it's somewhere in the region of £20,000 a year.  RADA audition everyone who applies (I think) but you'd have to fly to London for the audition.

Answer 3

There aren't any specific requirements... but if I were you, I would prepare two monologues that show range and versatility just in case you are given the opportunity - that shows determination and can showcase your best skills...

In the meantime it's probably a good idea to join a theater players group or something so you can practice your improvisation skills as they might test that during the audition.

best of luck!!
