Drama school auditions can be nerve-wracking to say the least. I'm now going into my fifth year of auditioning for BA Acting courses and, let me tell you, it doesn't get any less scary. Although I'm no expert on them (for obvious reasons), after a few attempts you do tend to pick up on the things that are glaringly, painfully, obviously wrong and the things that might actually nudge you that little bit closer to a place at a drama school. These tips are based on my own experiences with auditions and some of the basics that I learnt from doing an acting foundation course at Birmingham School of Acting (*shameless self-promo alert* I've written a post about my time on the course if you want some more info). So if this is your first year of auditions, or you're a veteran of the audition circuit and can't quite figure out where you're going wrong, read on!
