A week in the life of an MA Acting student
From rehearsals to movement classes, discover what a typical week looks like as an MA Acting student at our Guildford School of Acting.
What you'll learn
You’ll receive practical actor training focusing on technical skills in acting, voice and movement. These support a range of rehearsal projects, screen acting projects and public performances. You’ll also take professional development workshops and classes in audition technique.
Your performance opportunities will include a devised project, a final public production led by a production team of industry professionals, and a showcase.
The skills classes at GSA are fantastic for advancing our skills in screen acting, movement, voice, and fundamental acting techniques. We also work on longer projects such as Shakespeare and contemporary plays, as well as a short film project. GSA trains us through many different mediums, providing brilliant preparation for the industry. I've loved my course and would really recommend applying!Georgie Murphy, MA Acting
