audition Process
- Acceptance into the BA Acting is by audition.
- We audition everyone who applies.
- The audition process has two rounds. For the first round you will be asked to submit a self-tape.
- Auditions are free and all applicants are invited to participate in the first round.
- If you are recalled, the second and final round, will take place over Zoom.
- The Zoom recall will give you an opportunity to work 121 with one of our tutors – to see if Collective might be right for you – and to ask any questions you have about the course.
- Only candidates who are pass both stages of the audition, and who are therefore able to demonstrate the required proficiency as an actor, will be considered for a place.
what should I prepare?
- For both the self-tape and the recall audition you will be asked prepare a monologue of your choice from a contemporary play, film, or television series.
- The monologue should be performed in your own voice and should be a maximum of 2 minutes.
- You are encouraged to choose a piece that you connect with – that you feel celebrates you as an individual.
