Description
Should I study professionally? - Applications for singing, drama, acting and dancing degrees increase every year.
- At many institutions you can take combined courses or specialise.
- Unless you know exactly what you want at a young age and have a considerable amount of money, it is probably inadvisable to replace regular schooling with Theatre School.
- Nearly all professional actors attend drama school.
- Most stage singers in musicals are also professionally trained at degree level.
- Professional institutions put you in touch with a social group who can help you find work and may be part of your future. A lot of boy and girl bands in particular are picked from entertainment degree courses.
- Most Local Education Authorities do not cover the costs of theatre/entertainment courses and the fees are very high.
- Don't worry if you can't afford it. Individual and original talents, songwriters and musicians often develop outside professional institutions.
