<p><span><u>Gest Train are holding a weekend course designed to help you towards achieving your goal of a place in a UK drama school.</u></span><span><br/><br/>Martin Houghton has taught and directed in most of them including RADA; the Central School of Speech and Drama; ALRA; Mountview Conservatoire; Rose Bruford College; East 15; and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama where he was until most recently Senior Lecturer in Acting and the leader of their Post Graduate Acting course.<br/><br/>The course includes a session that will inform you about the schools and courses available. We will guide you through a typical audition process, during which we will advise on self-presentation and interview technique.</span><span><em> <br/></em></span><span><em><br/></em></span><span><em>You will be expected to prepare two contrasting speeches of your choice, a classic and a modern piece. </em></span><span>We will work with you on your speeches creating conditions close to those you will experience during the real thing. The course will also involve a session on sight reading. There will also be plenty of opportunity to sit and discuss the life of a student, and time too for you to ask as many questions as you wish.<br/><br/>This course will be intensive, thorough and tough reflecting the process; and it will demand the necessary determination, focus and energy required if you are to gain entry into any of these institutions.<br/><br/>The course is suitable for those considering applying for either BA or MA programmes in the forthcoming year, or those who may have failed entry previously and are reconsidering.</span></p>
