Help Getting into RADA?

Question

I want to apply for the BA in acting program at RADA this year, but I have virtually NO experience. Will this be a really big disadvantage? Also, if you are "pretty" do you have a big advantage?

Answer 1

I'm fairly sure that RADA audition almost everybody who applies, so you should at least get that far - but there are hundreds of people who audition for not very many places annually.  A lack of experience won't count against you if you are a huge natural talent with loads of potential - it's potential that they look for.  And being "pretty" is not an advantage.  RADA go by talent not by looks.
