How to get into the performing industry/good colleges in the UK? ?

Question

Im 15 and so passionate about acting/singing and dancing. I don't come from a very rich family but im okay. I go to acting school, I do dance lessons {hip hop/street, ballroom, freestyle, mordern jazz} and I do all singing comps etc. I also study dance as a gcse at school and im coming into my last year now so i really need to start thinking about what to do.

hi

my sister has just got in as a mature student to one in London, the bridge, who take credit for a lot of actors out there

there is a 2 year course and a 1 year post grad course

she had to go to an audition adn then you pay termly your feems (half in advance and half on commencement of the term0 i think it is similar to any university, fee wise (about £1000 per term)

its a good school and would recommend it. you have to be 18 for the 2yr course, and 21 post grad- no upper age limits are sent my sister is 32.

the well known ones are

RADA

LAMDA

good luck in your quest
