The Drama Studio Casting Agency offers the opportunity for students to be considered for parts in film, radio and TV productions.
We have had many successes to date with directors remarking on the improvisation skills of our students and how valuable this is for them both from a creative perspective and the ability to quickly grasp ideas and deliver natural performances.
Audition Coaching
We can provide one-to-one coaching for specific auditions to give children that extra support and confidence with casting which can be quite a daunting experience. E-mail julie@thedramastudio.com to arrange this.

Connor Quinn and His Team Win Copy Cat Gameshow
"Connor has been attending The Drama Studio for over 5 years now and has been to
many auditions/castings and was lucky enough to be accepted along with myself, 2 other adults and 2 friends
to take part in the 'Copycats' TV show. The experience was absolutely fantastic for all concerned.
Without The Drama Studios input throughout the years from all the Staff this would never have been achievable.
So many thanks to Julie and all at The Drama Studio for what has been a wonderful and memorable experience." (Janis McCusker - Connor's mum))
