I was looking for a thread and haven’t found one about the London Acting Programs and people’s experiences going to London for BA Acting.
RADA
LAMDA
University of London/Royal Central
GuildHall
Any experience? Anyone with a child there? What is up side/downside to London training for US citizen? Contacts in Industry? Getting an agent.
Any thoughts appreciated.
My senior D is going to audition to a handful of schools in England. From my research, things to consider:
*The high quality of theatre, actors, and drama schools in the UK.
*The incredible value at present, considering the dollar to pound exchange.
*Networking would be in the UK. Then again, if returning to U.S. For work or MFA - UK schools are prestigious on a resume.

@connections has put two kids thru Lamda and is super helpful and knowledgeable about it.
