YAS Acting Courses

Young Actors Studio provides the only training of its kind in Wales for people aged 16-19 who are considering applying to drama school after leaving school. The Young Actors Studio Acting Courses provide a taste of some of the key features of the professional actor training delivered by top drama schools including acting, voice and movement skills as well as audition technique.

Acting Courses run on Sundays from 10am to 4pm for 10 weeks per academic term (30 weeks per year). Entry is by audition only. We are looking for young people with a “raw” or “natural” talent so previous experience is not essential.

There are still a limited number of places available on our Act I Acting Course – please return your application form as soon as possible if you would like to apply. Our Act II Course is currently full but if you would like to audition to be on the reserve list, please return your application form as soon as possible. (Click here to request an application form). The provisional date for our next auditions is Wednesday 1st September.

As part of the University of Glamorgan, we are sometimes able to offer a small number of means-tested bursaries to help with fees. In some cases, this could be worth up to 100% of the full fee.
