Associated Studios

General

Do you have open days?

We have multiple open days throughout the course of the year. Each of these open days includes taking part in a normal day of training with our current Associated Studios students. You will join in with dance, acting, and singing classes (depending on class availability). You will also get to meet the senior management team and ask any questions about the audition process, or the training we do here. You can check out our current open days on: https://associatedstudios.co.uk/whats-on-category/open-days
If you have any questions, queries, or wish to book onto one of these days, please email the office on info@associatedstudios.co.uk

Who are your tutors?

Our tutors are all practicing industry practitioners working in their specific field. We have a huge list of professional contacts who love to come in and work with our students. Look under “Meet the Team” to see some of the amazing people we have welcomed to our classes.

What format does your audition process take?

Your first round Associated Studios audition will take place via self-tape. Successful candidates will be invited to a recall at Associated Studios, 204 Latimer Rd, London W10 6QY. The recall day will comprise of a Dance workshop, an Acting workshop and a one-to-one Singing audition and interview with an audition panel. The recall day gives you a chance to meet some of our core tutors and management team, ask plenty of questions, talk to some of our alumni and experience some of our teaching first hand.

Musical Theatre performers need to prepare two contrasting musical theatre songs and a short monologue. The songs and the monologue should be no longer than 3 minutes each, so please prepare a cut if they are too long. Accompanists are provided.

Overseas students can audition via a video link. We also require two professional references and will conduct a Zoom interview.

Is there an audition fee?

We charge £40.00 which is payable in advance. This is to cover the cost of our venue and the services of a Musical Director and the panel.

Do I get feedback after the audition?

Yes, you do, usually as part of the audition itself. We want this to be a learning experience for you and aim to give you useful and constructive feedback, take aways and things to work on.

I am a working professional actor, why do I have to audition?

It is important that we can see you work for a variety of reasons: we need to be confident that applicants are right for the workshop/course that they have applied for and indeed that the workshop/course is right for them. We would rather say no than offer someone a place on a course that was not going to benefit them. For masterclasses, we are often asked to provide participants with specific qualities so it is vital that we know your work and scope.

Can I audition for more than one course at the same time?

Yes, when you apply, tell us which courses you are interested in. We will advise you as to which course we think is best for you after your audition.

I just can’t afford to take part in short courses and masterclasses – they seem expensive to me.

Our courses are extremely reasonable. Like any organisation offering this sort of programme we have overheads which must be covered such as tutor fees and rental. Unlike many other Drama schools, Associated Studios offer payment instalment plans. Also, remember that Professional Development courses are tax-deductible!

Is there any funding available for your courses?

Currently students studying our BA and MA courses have options to apply for student finance and loans:

MA students can read about this here: https://www.gov.uk/masters-loan

Associated Studios has a long history of offering full and partial bursaries to students on our diploma courses who have enormous potential, but cannot fund their school fees. Bursary places are extremely competitive and are means tested.

Our patron Jeremy Irons has given out a full bursary to our full-time Diploma annually.

If I take part in one of your classes or courses can you ensure that I will get an agent and/or work?

No one can guarantee you work or an agent. However, our full-time MA students and second year BA students take part in an Agent Panel Week in their second term. All of our courses do prepare you for the reality of the business and also open your mind to the possibilities of creating work for yourself. Our masterclasses and workshops are often led by practitioners who are looking for new exciting talent and, in the past, participants have been offered work as a direct result of taking part in one of our workshops and courses.

I am interested in one of your short courses but I am unable to attend every class. Can I have a discount?

We hope that participants can attend every class because it is certainly in their best interest but we appreciate, especially with professional development, that things crop up – work and auditions and sometimes you cannot say no. We still have the same overheads, however, so we cannot reimburse you for missed sessions. For the full-time courses, students are expected to attend every day and every class unless they are ill.

How do I know if a course is right for me – or indeed if I am right for a particular course?

We give as much information as possible about all of our courses, but also use your audition interview to find out as much as you want to know – after all you are interviewing us in the same way that we are interviewing you. We will be very honest with you and tell you if the course is not suitable for your needs. We do not want you, or indeed the course, to suffer because it is the wrong direction for you.

Is there an age limit for courses?

Our students are all aged 18+: you are offered a place on your talent and potential. For Professional Development courses we expect participants to have trained or worked professionally. There is no upper age limit, you never stop learning. Typically our students range from 18 to 35. Some applicants are more mature and are refocusing their careers, others are changing career direction and some are returning to work after a gap period, and all of these life experiences really add to the dynamic of the groups.

What am I required to buy or read before embarking on a course?

Prior to the course starting participants are sent a detailed Resources Pack filled with useful information and requirements for the course.

What payment plans are offered?

This varies depending on the course you take. Part-time courses: You are required to pay a 25% deposit (50% for overseas students). The balance is due before the course starts unless a payment plan has been agreed with Associated Studios. This will normally be termly or monthly repayments (due on 7th of each month) and full payment must be completed at least one month before the end of the course. Full-time courses: You are required to pay a 25% deposit (50% for overseas students). The balance is due before the course starts unless a payment plan has been agreed with Associated Studios. This will normally be termly or monthly (due on 7th of each month) and full payment must be completed at least one month before the end of the course. Any variation of the above will be outlined on the webpage for each specific course.

Associated Studios do on occasion offer extended payment plans. This is offered on a case to case basis and in instances of financial hardship.

How do I pay for an audition or course?

By credit or debit card – call the office (a transaction fee applies) on 0207 385 2038. By bank transfer – we will supply bank details. By cheque made out to ‘Associated Studios’.

I am an Overseas student. Do I pay more for the course?

No, but you do have to pay a larger deposit (50%). You are responsible for any bank charges incurred when making payments.

I have trained professionally for three years so what is the benefit of doing professional development courses or an MA?

The majority of our participants have trained and/or worked professionally. However, this is an ever-changing profession and it is vital to continue to work on and develop your skills. This doesn’t just apply to singers but to actors too. Our workshops and courses are designed so that the performer can explore, discover, refresh and refocus their career. Participants will build and expand their audition material and grow in confidence and ability. Additionally you will work with practising practitioners and will make some great contacts. You will NEVER stop learning, even if you work to the ripe old age of 99!

Our MA Musical Theatre Performance attracts many applicants who have completed a degree at a reputable Drama school or University, but who feel they need more training to be industry ready. You are not required to have completed a BA to be considered for our MA, but you need to show the appropriate skill level at your audition.
