EXAM COURSES
ACTING
Acting Exam students develop their vocal, physical and interpretive skills while they delve into characters and explore the background of dramatic texts. Alongside producing authentic performances of their chosen scenes, they also gain an understanding of the context and characters within them. Working through the grades takes our students through the development of clear speaking and character portrayal to an understanding of a playwright’s style, the influence of theatre practitioners such as Stanislavski and a sensitive appreciation of subtext.
VERSE & PROSE
Our Speaking Verse and Prose students develop a whole host of skills, from speaking clearly and using voice projection, to improving memorisation and building an understanding of poetry and prose which supports studies in English literature. As students progress through the levels they interact with the texts, responding to them with imagination and using body language and expression to engage an audience.
Students working towards their Level Three grades are delving into sonnets, exploring the life and work of William Shakespeare and discussing his influence, as well as discovering the other writers whose works they are performing.

PUBLIC SPEAKING
Speaking in Public exams prepare our students for a task that daunts so many people! Students write their own speeches, researching the topics, creating visual aids and presenting them from memory (although they can use notecards, if they prefer). As they progress through the grades they will develop the ability to speak clearly and project their voice for an audience. They’ll discover the techniques they require to engage an audience and to structure their speech effectively. At higher grades, students will be asked to create an impromptu speech with minimal preparation.
