Applying to drama school can feel lonely

Sending off applications, filming self-tapes, joining Zoom auditions, getting the train to a new city. It can be A LOT. Here's what changes when you join.

Going it alone

  • Feeling like you need to live in London to stand a chance
  • No real actor support around you
  • Advice from teachers, parents or peers who don't know the latest on how to prepare
  • Lost in audition overwhelm, with no structure to your applications
  • A run of no's, and no idea what you're doing wrong
  • Unsure where to find the right monologues

With Audition Access

  • Train from anywhere, in your own private app, for under £50 a month
  • A worldwide community of actors in exactly the same boat
  • Drama school staff who teach in the app, so you get the inside scoop

Built by an actor who's been in the room

J trained at LAMDA and the National Youth Theatre. When Covid closed the theatres, she moved back up north and started an Instagram page called Audition Access to help one actor prepare for their auditions.

That actor told a friend. Then another. Audition Access grew from one-to-one sessions into group classes, online courses, this monthly community and live in-person events.

Straight from our actors

“I wish I would have found J sooner.”
Emma SymmondsRADA BA

Emma trained with J through ongoing VIP and one-to-one sessions.

Offers: Guildhall, RADA, LAMDA
“Coming from Australia, auditioning for drama schools in the UK presented itself as quite a daunting task to undertake but J was in my corner cheering the entire time. What can be quite an isolating process… was made a whole lot less lonely having the Audition Access community there for questions, support, the lot.”

6 recalls, 2 offers
“I was feeling very lost because I had no idea how to go about auditioning and I didn't have much confidence… After working with J for 6 months or so, I went from having no idea where to even begin to 6 recalls in total with a foundation offer and a 3 year BA offer!”

“Since September, working with J has genuinely been a lifeline throughout the audition process. The monthly VIP sessions helped me grow so much in confidence with my pieces, and her emphasis on maintaining a positive mindset completely transformed my mentality during applications.”

Recall: ArtsEd
“J is an absolute Godsend. She's by far the best acting coach I've worked with… Earlier this year, I was struggling to get past even the first rounds of drama school auditions. After working with J, I've gotten a recall from ArtsEd…”
AlenaFacebook review
Offer: Royal Central
“I have absolutely loved working with J over the last year. The focus on confidence and mindset has been especially important to me. All the classes have been amazing and I have learnt so so much and I have really developed as an actor!”
JuliaInstagram
Offer: 3 year BA
“I learnt more from her in just a few short months than I ever did before. She focuses a lot on self-worth and belief which makes you feel extremely confident going into auditions… I have recently found out that I have got into a 3 year BA Course and I couldn't be happier.”

Good questions

Before you join

How much does it cost?

£49 a month, paid monthly. You can cancel any time with 30 days' notice.

Do I need to live near London?

Not at all. Everything happens in the app, so you can train from anywhere. Our in-person workshops are an optional upgrade for members, never a requirement.

What gifts do members get?

After 30 days you'll receive Conquer Your Confidence, and after 90 days Master Your Monologue. Each is worth £197. You can also win prizes like free feedback and branded goodies for taking part in the app.

Is it for drama school or National Youth Theatre?

Both. The training library covers auditioning for drama school and NYT, and members range from first-time applicants to seasoned re-auditioners.

What if I can't make the calls?

Everything is recorded and left for you to catch up on for a month. Dip in and out as you please. There's no pressure, only consistent support.

What if I have a specific question?

Ask in the Community Chat for general guidance, advice and support. For questions about you or your monologues specifically, there are VIP and one-to-one sessions and upgrade programmes too.

You don't have to do this alone.

Applications, self-tapes, Zoom auditions, trains to new cities. It can be A LOT, but hey, I've got you :)
