Young Actors Studio

Group of YAS students

The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama is one of the UK’s leading drama schools. Many professional actors view drama school as an essential part of their training and the competition for places is extremely competitive. Each year, the college receives well over 1,000 applications for the twenty places available on its three-year undergraduate degree course.

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.

“Young Actors Studio has really boosted my confidence. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. Don’t even question it - just do it.”
Ricky, age 19
