Beth Nestor discusses applying for drama school
The first time I applied for drama school I was 17. I applied to six drama schools and didn't get a recall anywhere. So I moved out of my parent's home, lived in Birmingham and got a bit of life experience and re-applied to four drama schools and actually got into all of them. So in the first round audition, you do two pieces; one classical; one modern and they are two minutes in length each. And then the second round is the same two pieces with a song. And then the third round is a day's workshop audition with a group of other auditionees. So that was the process and then you hopefully get a call from the principal.
