    It's so interesting to hear about your time Arts Ed, especially for someone like myself who hasn't trained and went straight into work! Keep up the great vids x

    Just discovered your channel, and I cannot believe I had not found it before today! Going into my second year at Urdang is definitely stressing me out, and watching your videos and hearing you talk about your experience is comforting and encouraging xx

    This video is so useful! I start auditioning in November and I'm just trying to find more information about Arts Ed, as its somewhere I'd love to go. I'm currently doing a level 3 diploma at READ college and would love to pick your brain about Arts Ed as I'm trying to write a pro's and con's list. Your help would be much appreciated! Thanks,
    Tori xx

    When I first started watching your videos, I thought that you have been lucky getting into drama school and getting your jobs but now I realise, it's not luck, it's hard work and dedication! You are obviously talented but your work ethic is also obvious. Hope you get back to work soon. X

    Do have any specific tips for applying/auditioning for ArtsEd? Loving your videos! Xx

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  6 років тому +6

      I think the most important thing is to remember what makes you unique and hold onto it. Believe in yourself and be comfortable in your own skin. In the audition show that you are open to learning and can take direction. I hope that is helpful :) xx

    Amazing! I saw Our House and Curtains with my mate Dan who you probably trained with, think he must have been the year below you maybe?! Both great shows! Such a small world! x

    You are one of my favourite UA-camrs ever!! This video answered so many questions I had about Drama School it's cleared up so much. And I love how you lay out the truth as well like that they are brutal but also how much you loved it :) Love this video x

    This was super interesting, thanks for sharing, can you talk a bit more about acting through song and song interpretation, i think that would be interesting

  • @gf7200

    I love your vids! Just wondering if you have any advice on dealing with rejection? Xx

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  6 років тому +1

      Thank you! I have loads actually! Maybe I'll make a whole video on this subject? One of the best bits of advice I was told though is never take it personally as it very rarely is! xx

    • @gf7200
      @gf7200 6 років тому

      Georgie Ashford I would love to see a video about it! I feel as though it’s something not a lot of people talk about or like to admit to (being rejected) but it’s such a big part of the industry xx

    Great video! Did you have to do a dissertation on your course, what was it on?x

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  6 років тому

      I believe our shows counted as our dissertation.. but don’t quote me :S we also had to do lots of written work and notes xx

  • @rayanzia9011
    @rayanzia9011 6 років тому

    Thanks so much for making videos! Do you think to get in the west end, you need to have professional experience such as previous shows or even going to a drama school .

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  6 років тому

      Thank you for watching them! It does help to have both of those things- however it is not a necessity! Everyone has to start somewhere!

  • @emilymccarthy6739
    @emilymccarthy6739 6 років тому +1

    Such at great video as usual! Might be a silly question but is this related to college or secondary school?❤️❤️

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  6 років тому

      Aw thank you! It's related to my time on a 3yr Degree Course in Musical Theatre at a College called ArtsEd in London :) x

      Georgie Ashford did you go to a full time drama school before 18?x

  • @LizzieRowland
    @LizzieRowland 6 років тому +1

    Hey I’m doing my GCSEs this month x what do you recommend doing at this stage in life to go on to do drama ?

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  6 років тому +1

      Hi! I’d recommended studying Drama or Theatre Studies at A Level! Also see if you can get involved in any local am dram or things like NYT which are great experiences x

    Hi Georgie! Just a quick question - how many people were in your year and were the auditions quite competitive? Thank you!

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  6 років тому +1

      Hi Georgie! There were about 45 people in my Year I believe and lots of people auditioned! So I’d say it was very competitive yes! Xx

  • @leonorarriaga3577
    @leonorarriaga3577 6 років тому +2

    It´s a dumb question but where did you train the dance routines during the week by yourself? Did u train it in ur bedroom? And do you think picking up coreo fast gets better or can be improved? I take a week to get one coreo straight and i struggled on auditions to get it in 30 min, even though i got into my dream school! xx

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  6 років тому +2

      We used to go into school early and use the studios! You can most definitely improve it just takes practise and patience! The most important thing is not to panic as that will make it worse! Xx

    • @leonorarriaga3577
      @leonorarriaga3577 6 років тому

    @mooncakechuckety9192 4 роки тому +1

    would anyone recommend PQA? I'm just about join them but i am on the waiting list so i have a bit of time if i want to think about other schools.

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  4 роки тому

      Hi, I actually have no experience with this school, maybe do a bit of research and definitely look into other options just in case? x

  • @kieranshooter
    @kieranshooter 5 років тому +1

    Do drama schools really care about what you take at a-level? I’m currently in Y11 and I don’t know what to do at a levels. Because I want to study Performing Arts at college but people are telling me Drama Schools prefer 3 a levels

    • @GeorgieAshford
      @GeorgieAshford  5 років тому

      In my opinion I don't think that they mind but it's totally up to you what you would prefer to do :)
