Guildhall Academy Reviews

I can t get over the shocking and overwhelming email that I received from this school, about my son , who actually never attended the audition . For some reason google isn t showing photos of the screenshot I took of the email that I received. Shame, Guildhall, that you allow administrative errors of this kind .

I had my BA Acting audition here and I believe I saw Tim and Olivia Ross. The audition was cold, discriminatory and awful.

We begun with a warm-up where we had to walk around the space and roll through our body. The lady then made us enter into the space one-by-one and we had to mention where we are from and a thing we noticed today. She sent out a lot of negative energy and us auditionees could sense that.

At one point, she looked at me weirdly and I knew from that point on, she was not going to recall me regardless of how well I did. They also engaged in ageism and I just wanted to go home as I knew where this was going to go.

The panel pick and choose who they want to see via how many monologues they want you to do. You must have three monologues and a song ready. If they make you do all three monologues, it is a higher chance that they will want to see you again for the recall.

In my opinion, it was an unprofessional audition and Guildhall falsely claim that they are diverse just because there are oriental actors/actresses who are on a different programme.

Lastly, there are out-of-work graduates here who will tell you that they have not worked for a while.

Attended short courses this summer. Facilities are outdated, teachers average and the whole atmosphere not as vibrant or exciting as expected. Old and tired school like the building

Went to see an evening with Brian Blessed here so can only comment on it as a small venue/theatre which seemed excellent. Drinks were laid on so have no feedback on the bar... but we couldn't take drink in to the 'show'?! It is close to quite a few tube stops, Barbican being the closest.

Amazing music and drama school, right in the City of London.

This has 2 performance halls in one complex. 1 being a large music hall catering for a fairly large audience and the 2nd is a mini theatre which has stalls circle grand circle etc. It really just mimics a full size theatre as far as design is concerned but just looks like it has been shrunk. Still a good theatre.

A positively wonderful school which turns out the likes of A+ talent such as actor Orlando Bloom. I would love to attend the school but alas I am 46 (too old I'm sure) and live in the USA.

Went to see The Royale, great performance from the final year actors.
