Actors who researched drama schools and classes in London already know that studying and learning drama is not cheap and unless you are lucky enough to have wealthy parents or family members that can help you out, most us have to find the money ourselves. According to most recent data, students studying on a three-year course in the UK, including drama schools, sometimes have to find up to 40,000 GBP to cover fees, living expenses, accommodation and travel. That is an awful amount of money, but it shouldn’t put you off following your dream of becoming an actor. The good thing about London, eve ..read more

When it comes to advice for actors, we often talk about “getting an agent” and write articles on how to get one. Recently, there were quite a few emails asking who agents for actors are, what they do and why do actors need one. This is something we didn’t considered, so let’s talk about it now. Hopefully, you have enough emotional maturity to grasp that the “agents” being referred to are not the ones running around in The Avengers or Men In Black (although, admittedly, talented acting agents do sometimes sneak beyond the frontier of enemy lines to get you a desired role).

Joining an acting class is the very first step towards building a career as an actor.

I’m not going to lie to you, starting your acting training in a new place with new people and teachers – be it a drama school or weekly acting classes – is going to be nerve-wracking for some of you.  But it’s also exciting, fun and rewarding.  You will end up getting a ton of new friends and pushing your inspiration through the roof.  Know that you’ll most likely be anxious and nervous, and that’s completely okay – everybody will be the same. “I’ve never worked as hard as when I was at drama school.

You need to build a brand around yourself. The term ‘building a brand’ is often something that involves a product being marketed by a group of people in fancy suits.  When it comes to branding yourself, as crude as it seems, the concept is pretty similar – you are the product and your image is the brand that surrounds you.  Of course, there are differences between you and an actual inanimate product, for one, you’re not being sold – that would be illegal. “To find yourself, think for yourself.” – Socrates There are many similarities though, for example before a product is even releas ..read more

Some thespians assume that they’re going to be picked up for bigger roles after someone “spots them” among other background performers; unfortunately, that’s highly ..read more

Packing up and moving to a new place is never easy, especially if you’re moving to an entirely different city or even country.  There are quite a few things you need to take into consideration before moving to London and start acting with no experience.  You need to be prepared, and you cannot expect to move from one place to another without any sort of planning.  I learned it the hard way – smart planning is key to a stress-free transition. “When I first came to London, I loved hanging around in cafes, smoking, scribbling, and dreaming. It was life-affirming and fun.” – Peter ..read more
