AUDITIONS – PLEASE NOTE
Starting with the 2008-09 academic year, the London Dramatic
Academy will require an individual audition as part of the
application process. This component may be accomplished in one
of three ways, listed below in descending preferential order.
1. A direct audition and interview with the Artistic
Director of the London Dramatic Academy. These will be
held in a number of pre-announced US locations or, when
possible, in the student’s own college.
2.A direct audition and interview with an official
representative of the Artistic Director of the London Dramatic
Academy. These auditions will be scheduled in a variety of
locations, with the listings posted in a timely fashion.
3. A DVD recording of high quality, showing the applicant
performing a piece no longer than 2 ½ minutes. This
recording should also include the applicant’s response to the
question: Why do you wish to attend the London Dramatic
Academy?
All personal auditions will include a ten-minute interview with the Artistic Director of the London Dramatic Academy or his representative. DVD audition submissions will be followed by a telephone interview with the Artistic Director.
Audition choice:
Any extract, no longer than 2 ½ minutes in length, chosen from any of Shakespeare’s plays excepting Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, and Twelfth Night.
The choice should be made from parts for which the applicant might currently be cast; therefore, care should be taken to avoid the great dramatic roles such as Lear, Othello, Macbeth, Cleopatra, etc. Given the myriad possibilities, it is always advisable to choose a part less, rather than more, familiar.
Please note that students must meet the minimum academic requirements
for admission to LDA before an audition will be scheduled.
