What drama schools want

Drama schools are looking for people who are committed and determined to acting. They want actors and actresses that are able to work perfectly with anyone and any team and they also want them to be able to work great on their own. 

Drama schools want actors that are easily adaptable so this makes it easier for them to work with the actors. They also look for actors who are very well rounded background; for example, the actors not only has an interest in acting but they enjoy sports, science, history, etc. This shows that the actor is always keen on learning new skills as well as being devoted to their acting career. 

Three important things all drama school will look for in actors:

(1) Self motivation/self belief. The reason why drama schools will look for this is because acting requires a lot of hard work and consistency which some people may not able to cope with. Drama schools want actors who will stay motivated and believe in themselves no matter how many times they have failed which would be a valuable asset to themself and the drama school.

(2) In addition to self belief drama schools also want actors who are always looking to better themselves and improve. No one likes a self obsessed actor who thinks they have nothing to improve on. Actors that show that they are always willing to improve themself to become better is something drama schools want because this shows you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses and you are able to improve on them because you know yourself and your acting capability. This is important because by always trying to improve yourself and making yourself a better actor it will motivate the people around you which in turn will make them better too.

(3) Self-reliance. As much as drama schools will help and support you they also want actors who are capable of supporting themselves from time to time. They want actors that they are responsible. They want them to be able to know what to do by themselves; for example, they need to learn lines, research about a play or make time to rehearse with their group.

This is the type of actor drama school want because it shows how passionate and dedicated their are to acting. Overall, I think drama schools want an actor or actress who has some talent and has the will and potential to learn and improve.
