Thanks so much for the support! Absolutely no idea what I'm doing but that's the fun isn't it!
Lots of Love, Georgie xxx
Georgie, do you mind sharing which Songs and monologues you used for the auditions?
Ooh yes could you?? :)
I would love to see a video on your overall experience at drama school/what drama school is like (types of classes, etc.)
This is sooo helpful and i relate so much to the fear of going to London when you have no idea how to get the tube x Please could you do a video on advice for monologues? ❤️❤️
another amazing video! loved it so much so good to hear your experience, want to go into MT so your videos really help me see more into it 💕
Such a pleasure to watch your videos! It is like experiencing something new with you. And you are born to be a performer!
Yay!!! Thank you for another video Georgie💓💓
Loved hearing your experience! It's so interesting that the audition experiences UK vs Canada are so similar! Auditions are always stressful not matter how old you are, haha. Much love! xo
Love your videos so much xx
thank you so so much! I am about to start my 12 auditions...! It's exhausting but i love it! My ArtsEd audition is next tuesday aghhhh;))
I've just had my drama school auditions and i'm so excited to be going to Trinity Laban in September! your videos were such a massive help, so thank you! x
Congratulations xx
Im so afraid I won’t get in anywhere for 2020 entry💔
I don't know what your personal life is like and what kind of journey you wanna take or the kind of pressures you're under but I can say, please don't be afraid of not getting in! I had my second year of Auditions this year after getting straight up rejections from everywhere last year! This year Ive been offered different foundation course options, and am auditioning for BAs again next year. I also know several people who auditioned for Musical Theatre BAs who got offers for Foundations such as the Urdang 2 term foundation who have also had a second year to Audition for BAs. Everyone is on their own path and their own journey and the most important part is to not give up! Rejections suck but they're part of the industry and an opportunity for you to grow, recognise how you can improve and develop your skills. I've made videos about this on my channel if you wanna know but, but either way I wish you the bestest of luck! Xxxx
You've got this!!!
Don't be scared, took me 3 years to get in. It's SO hard to get in, you most likely will not get in first year. That is the reality. Only two people in my year got in first time applying. Years out are the most positive thing. You are trying to display human life, how can you do that if you haven't lived? Sometimes you need time to mature and then come back. You will get more out of your training if you do it when you're older. Trusttt.
Rachel Heritage Thank you very much! funding is a problem for foundation years so I will be trying my best❤️
Ben Bae thank you very much! Always been told going into the more dance side of things later is unlikely but all I can do it try my best and pray for a miracle!
(a little late to the party haha, just having my latest youtube binge😂) but i’m SO glad you’ve uploaded this! i’m auditioning for drama schools as off september and i’m terrified!! our experiences are so similar as i’m at a normal college on a musical theatre course like you was at your sixth form which is funny! getting into places like mountview and arts ed seems so out of reach for me i’m so so scared😰 xx
These are my favourite types of your videos, thanks so much
It is so nice to hear your stories! And it is so intresting and really helpful. I love your videos ❤️
I'm auditioning in August and I'm excited but extremely nervous that my anxiety may make me screw it up and I truly don't want to! I want to try and just enjoy the process of it as much as I can and as calmly as possible, your videos on auditions are so helpful, thank you! Xo
Victoria Rose Best of luck to you!
@@Lynnys1 Thank you very much!
Yaaas Chiswick. Love living in Chiswick. Would be amazing to get into arts Ed and roll out of bed and into school 🤣
I’m auditioning for drama schools after summer and I’d love a video with tips on how to prepare for it, how to choose repertoire etc. Also it sounds silly but I am not sure what you are expected to wear to auditions !!! xx
A video on finding monologues for auditions would be great!
You dreaming about McDonald’s is me in every serious situation 😂😂, would you be able to do a video about embarrassing moments on stage? 💗
Do you have any super embarrassing auditions stories?
Definitely know what you mean about just having a gut feeling about places - got it for my university (not for theatre) and it turned out to be a perfect fit! Had it again on Saturday when I was at an MA audition (MT this time), it just felt so right. Although I thought the audition went well so that probably/definitely means I’m not getting in 😅😅
Hi Georgie , sending lots of love from Ireland. I am hoping to audition for deans schools when I finish school and i was wondering if you have had any experience with international students if do I’d love to hear some advice or anything you know !!! Thanks so much
I went to LIPA (Liverpool institute for performing arts) and it was very international, which I loved! Just contact the international department at the schools you're interested in to hear more and ask them any questions you might have.
So helpful 💕Thank you💕Ily so muchhhhhh😘😘😘
McDonald's AND a recall! What a great day!
Which sixth form did you go to? Was it Sylvia Young by any chance? Have recently discovered your channel and am absolutely loving your videos! ❤️
Hannah M Sylvia’s don’t have a sixth form xx
It was Tring Park xx
Hi Georgie I loved this video and I love how you are so real and give everything you have to help us 💕 my question is how old were you when you auditioned for the schools and did you do your final year of school on just musical theatre? Also what course in Mt did you do did you go straight into HND or BA?
as you seem to have a lot of info beforehand form people around you, do you know how high/low the chances are for foreigners to be accepted?
I went to a drama school in the UK, (I'm from Norway) and it seems like it really depends on what course, school and what your proficiency of english is. For a dance degree perfect english is obviously less important than for a pure acting degree.
I'd recommend contacting the schools you're interested in, specially their international department (if they have one).
@@SamarkandChan Virkelig? Hvilken skole og hvor lenge gikk du der?
@@sirblumpkin6161 LIPA bachelor. (altså tre år)
@@SamarkandChan kult. Hvordan har det hjulpet karrieren din? Hjalp det med å få agent osv? Hvordan går skuespillerkarrieren din etter? Tenkt søke meg inn på en drama skolene i UK selv
do you have any advice for someone who wants to go to drama school but simply can not afford it and in the future they want to be on the west end?
Hi there! Surfing through the comments as a drama school auditionee myself and thought I could help answer this question. Some schools who are accredited by university do only charge £9k a year and therefore you can get a full student loan to cover the cost alongside maintenance, just like you would get for a regular uni. Schools that do this include GSA and Royal Central. Also a lot of musical theatre schools offer their own scholarships offered based on both talent and financial hardship. The government 'Dance and Drama Award' is also a scholarship available for a lot of schools including ArtsEd and Italia Conti that fully covers loans and I think some maintenance. You also really don't have to apply straight out of school, a lot a lot of people apply a few years after in order to spend a few years working to raise some money to cover costs - I personally am on my second year of auditioning and all the money I've saved this year is going in the fees for my foundation next year. Everyone's on their own journey and path and yes drama school can very inaccessible to people (like myself) from low income backgrounds but you can make it work and trust me, in terms of scholarships, if the school wants you they will try their best to make it work from their side too. Oh and also for auditions most schools run fee waiver (free audition) programs which you can apply for, they can be complicated but it's still an option and it does not affect your chances of getting a recall at all!
Rachel Heritage thank you for that it has helped a lot! I’m only 13 but thinking about my future and I would love to go arts ed or mount view but my family isn’t doing great at the minute and we are skint for money so I have no clue how I could get it and not afford any of the fees. when I’m older all I want to do it be on the west end and go drama school but I just don’t know how to get there.
@@phoebemason9183 I'm sure you'll get there, do not stress so much now! I know it sounds super patronising and I really hate - even at 18 - when people say this to me but you are so young and you have so much time to work things out. In all the years you have leading up to the time you apply you can benefit from the support of your school while making sure to improve your craft - I think that is the most important part right now. Never allow yourself or anyone else to deny you the opportunity to not pursue your dreams because of your financial situation. The industry is changing every single day to grant more and more access to people from financial hardship, the best you can do is to just do what you love xxxx
Rachel Heritage thank you for the help!❤️😊 xxx
Hi Georgie, I am planning to audition for drama schools for 2020 entry and I would find an audition tips video or a video about what to expect really helpful! Xx
Very interesting, thanks. Are there any videos of you singing?
Yes there’s lots on my channel 🤗
Great to hear!Do you think it's essential to go to mt sixth form aswell as drama uni xx
so I'm going into college in september and I'm doing btec performing arts, but I've never had any actual vocal/ dance training, would I be in a bette place to apply if I went to uni and did a performing arts course there and then applied after?
should i do a-level drama or a drama diploma? i have to decide soon and i'm torn.
What songs and monologues did you bring to the audition? X
I would love to heard some of your tip/ ideas for picking and dining legit rep cause I am shocking at that
did i have much experience of singing/dancing/acting before ur auditions? xx
Yes I had trained in all three for a long time! xx
Did you audition for the MT course or the straight acting course ?
Sounds like she did the MT course.
What if you dont know how to sing
you really remind me of Zoella
