drama school audition bible
This book is worth every penny; I auditioned for several drama schools this year and like thousands of applicants I failed to get a place. However, with the help of this book I truly believe my next audition will be far more successful. There is even some mention of Stanislavski and his methods, it leaves no stone unturned, it could make a big difference to your audition and really help you stand out.
