Frequently asked questions

The UK audition system can feel chaotic and even opaque at times. Think of First Step as a map through the process and confidence framework for your year

What makes this different to other drama school audition coaching?

This course takes a wider and more holistic approach, creating a toolkit that encompasses the entire process from beginning to end and not just focusing on songs/monologues for example.

How does pricing work?

Four out of the five sections require purchasing for you to access. These four parts can be bought individually, all together, or you can mix and match your basket depending on what you feel will help you most!

How do I view the videos?

Once you have purchased your sections they will be unlocked, meaning you will be able to view them as many times as you need. They are pre-recorded which allows you to pause, rewind and skip.

Is this just for UK students?

Whilst this course only focuses on UK drama schools, most of the content can be applied to those of you auditioning from other areas of the world! There will be some parts, such as student finance eligibility, that apply more to prospective UK students, whilst some other parts have been specifically curated for international students.

This isn't my first year auditioning, is it worth it?

That's really up to you to decide. A lot of the content was made with those auditioning for the first time in mind, but there may be parts that bring a fresh perspective to you! Either way, I would encourage you to have a look at free sections such as Finances and the Current Scene for clarity on whether it will be useful for you.

How can I tell what each section is offering?

Each section has its own page that can be found in Products and Pricing. Once you click onto a page, there will be an overall description and then a breakdown of the topics below.

Beside each topic is a little icon: four lines identify written parts; and a square box with a 'play' arrow inside is to show what parts are recorded videos.
