Overview

Acting for Stage, Screen and Radio at Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama bridges the gap between a degree in other subjects – or previous acting experience – and the standard expected by the theatre, TV, film and recorded media industries.

Overview

This course doesn’t align with any single philosophy of actor training – instead, we bring many influences to bear on your work, so you can make informed choices about the different approaches to acting that uses and extends your personal strengths.
You’ll join our third-year actors and collaborate with other students from across drama and music as part of the Richard Burton Company. Here, you’ll test your training and experience the rigorous demands of the professional theatre environment in full productions, giving a real sense of what working the industry is like.
You’ll get mentoring and support in the initiation, production and performance of an original piece of work – skills that we consider invaluable for developing a sustainable portfolio career in acting.
Your cohort will perform in actors’ showcases in Cardiff, London’s West End, and New York (for those eligible to work in the US) attended by industry employers, casting directors and agents. Alongside other professionals, they’ll also conduct masterclasses and workshops, as well as offer audition opportunities.
