son, who was once tall boy, has suggested this might be fun

oh dear

If you want to study method then its where you should go I think that's a bit of a sweeping statement! Most drama schools cover the things that Brian Timoney talks about, but they give you other tools too - and I think having a choice of tools is going to be more useful to you in the profession: to...

I think it is rarely a good idea to ignore very clear casting briefs - it just tends to irritate the casting team. I watched a bit of a documentary once where the CD goes round with a stick with the correct maximum height on it. Anyone over that height just didn't get to audition. i could cite an o...

great advice - have copied it all out for future reference!

thanks for that - it should still be available on i player, so i'll try to catch it

I liked it too. It left one out though - Your not an A list actor! Or maybe it could work the other way? you haven't had a previous major role, and although we have called an open audition, we actually already have an experienced 'name' in mind. i know we called you in, but we're actually planning ...

apologies if mentioned before - but many/most colleges do holiday courses (generally a week) - we are booking into b&b's for the next 2 years

And it seems important to have more than one means of transport so if the trains are out you can get the bus and if the bus isn't running you can drive. How many different transport options should there be? And is it different inside London than outside? For example, London relies heavily on the Tu...

it is a balance between music and academics - we had a brilliant and brilliantly musical y6 two years ago who opted against purcell (to which she could have travelled daily) in favour of henrietta barnet (local girls' selective school). purcell itself says it is a school for those who see their futu...

there is another side to this we are within the M25 - master m was in 'mary poppins', who make no such rule, and for the 6 months he and his partner were the only 'within the M25' children, they were supposed to be available the whole time - no day trips away etc. yes, of course we did,very occasion...

- it's very hard to make money, or break even, on the Fringe - it generally ends up costing people quite a bit - there is so much competition for audiences). even if you are sold out, you can make a loss - we have a neighbour who has acted/directed and produced at the fringe for a number of years -...

oh yes - as they can see the theatre school pictures on facebook, master m's friend (Y11) are always wheedling him to bring a girl or 2 along to social functions

(no - he doesn't!!!!!)

how old is she, btw?

boast away - you both deserve it!

master p is not naturally flexible - stretching every day helps him - also, with winter coming on, remember stretching works best in a warm room - and with a warm body - so never first thing, and preferably after a short aerobic session (eg running on spot) - ditto in classes - walk briskly at least...
