How drama scholarships usually work

Schools usually ask for prepared speeches, often with a group workshop or improvisation, followed by an interview.

  • Choose contrasting speeches and check any time limit.
  • Note any stage work, LAMDA or similar exams and school productions, with dates.
  • Practise taking direction, since panels often ask a child to try a speech differently.
