    You are a star! I am a new full time drama, dance and musical theatre teacher with a Grade 6 and 7 Acting student. This is very helpful

    This was a great video, thank you! I am doing Grade 7 - will the examiner ask me anything that isn’t those three bullet points? Will they just focus on those or will I need to be prepared for other topics as well (projection, breathing, etc.) Hope this makes sense!
  • Do my answers need to be a certain length? Also, could the examiner ask more questions after I’ve finished answering?
  • I've got my grade 6 exam tomorrow and im terrified!! I feel like my answers arent long enough
  • I have my Grade 6 exam in 2 days and I am really stressing out. I am doing Charlie in school play and Helmer in the dolls house. I really need help because I don't understand the breathing techniques for these pieces.

    Hi! I have my grade 7 tomorrow and this is a last minute question. Do you need to have examples from the plays in the writer’s style? To back up my points
  • @Alex_528

  • Im doing grade 8 duologue acting exam however I am unsure as to how the questions will be asked to the both of us?
  • I just had my lamda grade 7 exam and I’m really scared I’ll fail because although i knew the plays I got stressed and and got stressed out and missed out some key points during the theory. Is it difficult to fail the theory?

    hi, im very confused. My teacher said they will be asking these questions for the grade 8 exam: What is your character(s) objective. What is your character's role within the play as a whole Your understanding of the principles of a key practitioner (Stanislavski). You need to have a knowledge of Given Circumstances, Emotion Memory, The Magic If, Subtext, Tempo-Rhythm, Circles of Attention, Motivation.
