Acting School Open Days
East 15 Acting School does not hold Open Days for Actors. In part, this is due to the intense work schedule at both of our campus sites but is also due to the fact that all our applicants are auditioned.
The audition process is a lengthy one, which takes most of the day and consists of a series of workshops (movement and singing) as well as presentation of audition speeches and a prepared song. Applicants will generally receive feedback and suggestions during the audition.
The East 15 audition process is very thorough and has been commended for the
opportunity it provides for applicants to demonstrate their full potential. Many
UK acting schools restrict applicants to a three minute audition; by comparison
East 15 offers a period lasting up to six hours, including opportunities to ask
questions and engage with staff.
An opportunity exists to tour the campus as part of the audition process.
