The tape where you read a quote or piece from a book or poem you have made has to be 30 seconds or less. The second tape has to be 1 minute or less. Also, that comment is not true.

Tape 1 = 30 seconds or less (performing), tape 2 1min or less (talking) (please don’t ‘read’ in either tape though - make sure you are off book so the camera / casting director can see your eyes). You don’t have to pay, just keep your videos below a certain resolution…there was an earlier comment from someone who checked this out 👍🏻

Great work! And best of luck

Hey, that’s so great to hear. I set it up to try and help students and teachers and parents of budding actors so it’s super to hear you say that. Thank you

Oh I’m so glad 😀 Thank you for your lovely comment 😊

Yes you can 👍🏻

No, I’m afraid not, according to the rules for this one. But great that you are short for your age - this can be a real bonus for future castings 👍🏻

Yes it can't hurt can it

no

No, I’m afraid it’s a UK casting call

Oh I will, thank you

Are they talking about LAMDA? I have one for the knowledge questions, for the previous spec if that’s useful…?ua-cam.com/video/2tpt1yoSN3Y/v-deo.htmlsi=qtyyFygd-vXhfto- note this is the old specification so there may be some differences now (!)

Unfortunately not, at least for Harry, Ron and Hermione. But remember this will be a multi-year project and they will be looking for other roles in the future. Perhaps now is the time to up your game so you have a better chance for those parts in the future!

Oh I love these - great ones, nice an snappy. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely not, it’s an open casting. If you do have one though, let them do the work for you!

No, you can self submit. But if you do want an agent for the future check this out: ua-cam.com/video/-I54ntrxB0s/v-deo.htmlsi=lbqfcxXvdv0SPS9i

Yes indeed it is!

Sure, I don’t see why not (just not from HP) - and don’t try to ‘copy’ those doing it…make it your own - feel it, ‘wear’ it differently and enjoy it!

@@TheDramaCoach okay, thank you!

@avv_ae no problem 👍🏻

It’s a very personal choice. Obviously something that suits your own accent. You can use a piece you’ve done before, I’d ask a drama teacher or coach that KNOWS you if you can. Pick something you ENJOY performing. I personally like a piece that has come from a whole play, but there’s nothing stopping you using a stand alone monologue, like one from the LAMDA specification. Trilby James has some great monologue compilations. Peg Kehret has published a lot of monologue complications too. Don’t forget to keep your piece to a MAXIMUM of 30 seconds - that’s not long (!) Best of luck

Personally I would. It just makes sense for a natural slate 👍🏻

@@TheDramaCoach ok thank you and i hope your daughter does well ❤️

@Shruti-yx6ho thank you so much

@@TheDramaCoach no problem ❤️

Don’t talk about this bit (you talk for the second video). PERFORM a monologue, poem or created piece. Hope that helps? You can use a script from a movie, but you must perform.

@@TheDramaCoach Oh right, thank you for explaining.

@avv_ae no problem at all. Glad it makes sense 👍🏻

Good question - if you are still 11 in April then sure, it sounds like you are fine - best of luck

Actually don’t wanna start “drama”pun not intended it says you have to be within the age range by 2025 April so maybe not sorry about that

@Fnaf_studios123 yes good spot and good pun - I was just telling someone else about that

It’s in the description

Glad it was helpful!

We've got round it as the pro membership is for uploading videos over 100MB so we've just downloaded them at a lower bit rate and it hasn't affected the quality really 👍

Oh interesting. I’ve heard different things from different people. If you have an agent 💯 get them to apply for you. I signed up for free, but I’m holding off on uploading the video for my child until my agent has heard back. I’ll update when this is done.

@rachelfreeman-powell8608 oh great well done! 👍🏻 I hope this comment helps others too. Again if you are submitting via an agent they can advise on resolution that’s preferable to the casting director(s). Best of luck!

Oh great spot!!! I would have merrily gone with minimum - you are quite right - I’ve just checked 30s & 1m - MAXIMUM!!! Hope everyone reads your comment! Thank you for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤩🤩🤩

Feel free to to ask me questions on here

@@TheDramaCoach drama is good learning method.. so how to use it, in your country ?

@@dilrangaperera252 if you like acting and can act there are many ways you can use this to teach your students. Create the world within your space and guide them through it in character. It depends what you want to teach them. I used to like re-creating scenes from Shakespeare plays. As well as more modern crime drama themes.

@@TheDramaCoach thank you 💗

Oh dear, sorry you want it to stop. Why don’t you want them to learn drama?

Maybe next time

😂 Haha - I mean Bertolt Brecht - but thank you for your comment 👍🏻

Thank you. And thanks for taking the time to write this lovely comment 🥰. We love working together 💕

Hello again, strangely it won’t let me answer your question about tips for an American accent so I’ll answer here. Obviously the gold standard would be to get an accent coach…but that can be expensive. And of course there are many different American accents. The one we hear the most on hit TV programs is usually referred to as ‘standard American’ (or sometimes ‘general American’) my daughter and I have worked on ours by listening, copying, recording ourselves, listening back and discussing / tweaking. We sometimes just chat together in an accent we need to rehearse (but of course we are very comfortable making mistakes in front of one another). There’s lots of accent videos here on UA-cam which can be really useful and break down the differences in standard English accents vs standard American - try the word water for example…Best of luck 👍🏻

@TheDramaCoach Thanks, for the advice youtube can be strange sometimes.

@BlueLightning141 right, I could see you said ‘to put into context…’ but nothing more. So I hope my comment still makes sense / is useful, feel free to ask more or finish your question 👍🏻

@TheDramaCoach Yeah, in my original comment where I wrote "to put into context" I went on to write that I've got a Suffolk/London accent. Anyway, I'll work on "water" and many other words.

Thank you, and thanks for your comment

That’s great, thank you for your comment. I’m so glad this was useful

Thanks ☺️

Thank you, will do 👍🏻 thanks for your comment

Thank you so much for your lovely comment 💕

Great! Thrilled this is easy for you 😃

Thanks for your lovely comment ☺️

So glad I could help. Thanks for your comment ☺️

I'm poor in English

I belong to the poor family

@RodelMariano-tp3eg there’s plenty to help you here

Oh good luck…pretty sure I have a bunch on here for you…

I like this one…Drama Games - Tongue Twisters: Betty Botter ua-cam.com/video/g3rfkWvmvy4/v-deo.html

Awesome - enjoy!

I’m glad. Thank you for your comment ☺️

That’s so exciting! The very best of luck to you 😁 And enjoy every step of the way ✨

I am so pleased to hear that. Thank you for your comment.

Always keep an element of control, I don’t want any actors fainting (!) I’m fascinated about using breath in performance both for theatre and TV. I don’t currently do live q&a’s but it’s something I’ll think about for the future.

@@TheDramaCoach what about the kissing scenes? like in Romance? do you find breathing arousing sexy? can you show how to get out of breath and calm it down
