I'm currently on the BTEC Extended Diploma Level 3
Performing Arts (Acting), I have 6 GCSES, 4 at B and 2 and C. In the college
modules so far I have studied Stanislavski which is also linked to the Course
BA (Hons) Acting at GSA. I am with a local theatre group named Petersfield
Youth Theatre (PYT). I have confidence to put myself forward for different
opportunities, I am eager to learn and work on different productions/projects.
I also have experience on TV and Stage. I feel that I need to work on
Naturalism as well as the financial side of Acting. I need to join an agency
too, in order to get me more publicity as my aspiration is to be an Actor, this
involves being in an agency so it’s crucial I join one. The skills I need to
become a good actor can be learnt through University and College.
I want to go to GSA and Study BA (Hons) Acting; in the first
year the modules include Storytelling, Naturalism and American Realism. In the
second year the modules include Shakespeare, Comedy and professional
development. In the third year, I will be rehearsing for public performances
and a West End showcase. These modules support my career choice of being an
actor. These modules will help me experience and learn the history of Acting
and also different styles of Acting. The location is good as it’s near to where
I live. At the moment the BA (Hons) Acting is £9,000 per year. I don’t have the
funds to pay that and so I would hope to take out a student loan, I believe I
am also eligible for a Dance and Drama Award (DaDA).
In order to apply I would need 3 Distinctions at Level 3. I
am hoping to get 3 Distinction Stars. There is an audition fee of £35. For the
audition I must prepare one classical and one contemporary monologue of not
more than two minutes each. The classical speech should be pre-1800 and the
contemporary speech should be post -1950. Speeches should be in my own accent
and ideally close to my own playing age. The application should be made via
UCAS.
I believe this course is for me as it supports my skills and
career choices. The location is great and the finances can be sorted out with
either a loan or DaDA. GSA has a good
record of students with Actors from the Alumni such as Bill Nighy, Michael
Ball, Gaby Roslin and Brenda Blethyn. The head of the course, Dr Trevor Rawlins
has been an actor and director for more than 20 years, he has a PhD in actor
training at the University of Reading.
After this I hope to have a part time job to earn extra
money and look for Auditions with the agency that I'm with at the time.
