Our Services 

With emphasis placed on developing the natural creative instincts of our students, 'Drama by Design' focuses on developing simple yet effective acting techniques to create entertaining, subtle and natural performances.

​

We provide coaching for audition preparation for screen tests with casting consultants, directors and producers. We can assist with self-tests and online video auditions: preparing and rehearsing the scenes before editing and uploading them. Even if you do not get the role, a strong audition will help you gain further auditions or sometimes even another role. A strong audition requires thorough research and preparation, and an understanding of the nature of the production for which you are auditioning. Use the audition to reveal your range and versatility, rather than just trying to achieve the 'perfect' audition. Be fully aware of the technical considerations of the audition process and be prepared for the challenges they present.

If your audition or call-back was successful, earning you the role, we will work with you to prepare your scenes for shooting on the actual film or television production. Your performance choices in each scene must be consistent with the production as a whole, so a full understanding of the entire script is crucial. Whether it is one scene or a lead role, your preparation is vital to ensuring you create the most interesting work possible. This will leave your directors and producers happy and improve your chances for repeat work.

We will help you create natural, engaging performances that show range and make the most of every screen moment. Show humour and depth, sensitivity and strength, versatility and that element of surprise.
