An Overview of Getting in Acting Schools

Is it hard to get into an acting school? Good question to ask, if acting is your dream and entering a good acting school is your goal. Let us answer this and other questions to help you learn some of the things you should know to enter the school of your dream.

So, how hard is it to enter an acting school and what you need to do it? The bad news is it is pretty hard. The good news is you can do many things to boost your chances and get admitted. Let’s take a look at some of these things.

Now, the competition at entering acting schools is high. The best schools in the industry take only 1 % of all the applicants on board with them. So, the first tip is to search and find as many acting schools out there, as you can. The second tip is to send your applications to several of them. Do not set your heart too intensively just on one school. This way, you only increase your chances to fail and get frustrated. By applying to several schools you greatly increase your chances to enter and start the dream acting career.

Another thing you should learn about is reading the admission and audition instructions provided by the school. All the acting schools have such instructions to follow. So, do not rely on your creativity or ability to perform. Find out what those people want from you and go for it.

Be prepared to meet extended audition requirements of some schools. Even if you wish to become an actor, some schools may want you to prepare both speech and song for the auditions. So, get it all pinned down. Learn which plays, books or authors can be used for your audition speeches. Make sure to avoid doing the most popular pieces. If you pick a rarely used suitable piece, you place yourself out of competition.

Make sure to file your application timely and properly. Most acting schools need only your high school diploma and do not require any other postgraduate type of education. Timely submission of your applications is essential. Luckily, many schools allow you to do it online.

So, as you may see, there are many things you should know before you pick the right acting school and try to enter it. Hopefully, these simple tips would help you to succeed in your undertaking.
