Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama Young Actor, Naomi Everson, is to play the lead role in a new BBC drama, Shelfstackers. She was chosen from 500 girls for the part in a drama centred around four teenagers and their manager working in a supermarket.

Naomi, from Barry, attended the Young Actors Studio at the Royal Welsh College last year and also took part in their audition technique course in November. She now goes to Young Actors Theatre workshops at the College every Friday and has got a place on the Royal Welsh College BA Acting course in September.

Naomi’s agent sent her to an audition for a different show but then the casting director suggested that she try auditioned for Shelfstackers. The pilot will be shown on the BBC Switch slot on BBC 2.

Naomi is new to television but she has modelled for Orange, Diamond Insurance and the Kaiser Chiefs. She also teaches drama to children on Saturday mornings.

The Young Actors Studios will be holding auditions on July 3 for courses beginning in September. You will need to submit an application form in advance of the auditons.

Audition Technique courses are also available as part of our Summer Schools & Short Courses programme. The classes are for 16-19 year olds and last for a day taking place from July 12- 16th. They are led by the Senior Lecturer for auditions for the BA Acting course at the College.
