The requirements are positive, as I’m working on my GCSE Maths grade and will receive the Btec Extended Diploma grades.  I can apply for a student loan if I take on this three year course. The subjects taught, I already know bits about and will learn more during my two years at college. The location is good as near home. This course is for me because it teaches a wide range of elements of acting; which is the main reason why I wanted to go to drama school; to gain as much knowledge of drama and experiences in performing and then teach all my knowledge to children who want to follow the same profession route. I have studied Chekhov at college and thoroughly enjoyed it, and am looking forward to covering him in more depth and getting the opertunity to try out more of his plays. Comedy is a favourite style of acting however I am not very good at it, so GSA can teach me more about it which will allow me to identify if its a strong or a weak point for me in acting. 



DRAMA SCHOOLS:
LAMDA

Location: Positive

The grade requirements are perfect as none needed but I will have a grade in Btec Drama which will help. Funding options means that can apply for student loans and also, being a UK resident, I can apply for edited Audition and Interview fees. The subjects/modules and new to me in the world of acting so I will be taught new things. The location is positive, but I would prefer one nearer to home. This course interests me because they cover singing and dance. I've not done either of these in the form of acting/drama but it will be interesting for me to be able to incorporate these into different pieces and performances. Physical theatre is a topic which we covered thoroughly in college so this will be a skill i can bring into LAMDA and extend my knowledge and experience to the drama school level.

I’ve heard that this drama school is excellent. They offer a large range of subjects that will be covered including singing which will be new to me. The location, I would prefer something nearer to home so I can visit etc. This course is for me because, again, it teaches different topics to what Ive done before now which is why i want to experience drama school. Technical skills ie lighting and staging is something Ive only seen been done by others and the precision and computer logging has interested me so this would be something i would enjoy trying out.
