Hello friends,
So shameless plug here. Around about this time every year I share my tutoring website. If you know anyone who's thinking of auditioning for drama schools this year please do me a massive favour and share this thread with them -
In the VAR era Everton have been awarded the least amount of penalties per season than any other club 🥅
All 40 of these incidents - including some handballs - are more of a pen than what was given against Tarkowski
Incompetency or corruption @FA_PGMOL
Hello friends! As it gets closer to the new school year it's about that time where I post my tutoring page for anyone you know who may be auditioning for drama school this year. Last year students were offered places at RADA, LAMDA, Guildhall, Royal Welsh & Central.
If you know of anyone who's looking for help or guidance please send them my way. I love the work I do with my students and the reviews on my website seem to reciprocate that. People can either message me directly through social media and I'll pass on my email or...

A bit over-excited sitting in the Olivier Theatre waiting for Boys from the Blackstuff to start. @Capleh Aron Julius.
Sooo wanted to see this in Liverpool but this’ll do.
Boys From The Blackstuff starts at The National Theatre🤩
A massive good luck to all of our team in Boys From The Blackstuff as they begin the show run and take on The @NationalTheatre tonight! 👏👏
@MrAdamFrith Absolutely mate. It is still fundamentally more difficult for people from working class backgrounds to audition, despite the fact there are audition and travel bursary’s to help them get there. So your point absolutely still stands x
I wholeheartedly agree with what this fella is saying but I always feel the need to point out - this may of been the case in 1999, it is not the case now. Going to RADA now costs the same as going to any university in London, everyone is eligible for a student loan.
It starts before you even get to drama school. Back in 1999 I auditioned for RADA and went through all the recalls to the final round of 50 or so. They eventually took something like 30 people out of the initial 16,000 applicants. In the last audition there were lots of middle class and overseas students who could answer the ‘How are you going to pay your fees?’ question without a problem. Me and one other WC lad couldn’t answer that dreaded question and would have needed a full scholarship to enter and then extra help on top. So we were, I think, effectively auditioning not for one of the 30 places, but for a single space out of 16,000 applicants. He got it and, I heard on the grapevine, dropped out during the first year. You have to be excellent to get a place, then lucky, then be able to work a job as you study. You then graduate in debt whilst colleagues graduate debt free. And then, yes, you need to make connections. The odds are stacked against WC performers and creatives in ways which are not even visible or considered by most.
I’ve met a few actors over the years who told me they didn’t audition for RADA because they never could of afforded it, but actually paid more out of their own pocket to train where they did. The myth needs dispelling. Up the toffees x
The student loan will cover tuition & maintenance. I’m not going to go through all the ins and outs here but if anyone is genuinely worried as to how they would afford it please reach out and we can chat.
