Auditions
All applicants will be invited to attend an audition at the
college in order for us to assess their potential to undertake
professional actor training. The programme is extremely
demanding, both mentally and physically, and calls for substantial
reserves of both talent and stamina. It is our responsibility to
select students who we feel will be able to respond most
effectively to these demands. We aim to make the
audition process as constructive and enjoyable as
possible.
We will usually give you at least two weeks' notice of your
audition date. Applicants who are short-listed at the first
audition will be invited to attend a second audition at a later
date.
Auditions begin in January so we recommend that you apply as
early as possible for the best possible chance of success.
Audition Fees
The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama charges an
administration fee of £45 to cover the cost involved in arranging
auditions for the MA Acting for Stage, Screen & Radio.
The audition fee is payable through CUKAS.
