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

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.

Do my answers need to be a certain length? Also, could the examiner ask more questions after I’ve finished answering?

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.

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!

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
