It doesn't matter which dance or drama college you choose to go to, it's going to be expensive.
In this episode, I've prepared a couple of case studies for you. These are real-life examples of students I have worked with who didn't think it was financially possible for them to go to Dance or Drama College.
There are a lot of figures in this episode that might sound scary at first, but don't let it put you off. There is plenty of support out there and I'll discuss a few of the options in this week's episode.

#11 Contact Casting Directors like a professional
Have the confidence to contact casting directors like a professional.
No one wants to sound like an amateur, especially when you're talking to the person who might be able to give you a job. We know that casting directors are busy people, under a lot of pressure, so what can we do to make their life a little easier? In my opinion, it's getting straight to the point.
Once you've established a relationship with them, then you can be more personable, but until then, don't waste a minute of their time.
Tell them:
- Why you’re contacting them
- Roughly where you’re based and availability
- Offer to self-tape or meet
- Your contact details
