Regional auditions
Unfortunately, we currently have no plans to run Round 2 audition workshops at regional venues around the UK. Applicants should apply and submit a Round 1 video audition with their application. If they are then invited to attend a Round 2 audition, they will be given the option to book a place at one of our campus or online events.
