Young Actors Studio

The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama is one of the UK’s leading drama schools. Each year the college receives well over 1,000 applications for the twenty places available on its three-year undergraduate degree course.

Our one year Acting Courses for 16-20 year olds provide a taste of drama school and will help you to stand out from the crowd at auditions. Our past students have gone on to train at RWCMD and other top drama schools in the UK. The courses run on Sundays (10am-3.45pm) during term times from September until July. As well as Audition Technique, classes cover the key features of professional actor training:

  • Improvisation
  • Text
  • Movement
  • Voice
  • Alexander Technique
  • Acting through Song
  • Acting for Camera

Entry to the acting courses is in September and applicants will be invited to attend an audition. See our audition guidance pages for further information.
