Latest Graduate news 3 Year BA Hons/National Diploma in Professional Acting
The Three Year Acting Course is accredited by the National Council for Drama Training and leads to either a BA (Hons) Acting degree accredited by the University of Surrey or The National Diploma in Professional Acting, validated by Trinity College, London. The National Diploma in Professional Acting attracts Dance and Drama Award funding from LSC and students in receipt of DaDAs can register for a BA (Hons) Acting in addition to the National Diploma
In the first year, after the initial excitement of starting a new course and meeting the inspirational tutors at GSA, you will work mainly on the techniques you need to sustain a career as a professional actor/performer. Actors nowadays must be able to work in every branch of the industry, from television to musical theatre. In acting we will help you develop your imagination; understand your own character and personality so that you are free to explore other characters and personalities; be spontaneous and react truthfully in imagined situations.
The voice and speech you use for everyday is not good enough for the theatre or for television. We will assist you in developing a strong and versatile voice which is flexible enough to enable you to work in theatre, musical theatre, television and radio.
You will have a weekly practical singing class and actor's singing technque class; dance classes in tap, ballet, jazz and contemporary; movement classes could include t’ai chi, mime and clowning; playtext and theory classes will help you explore the world of plays.
