What Our Students Say

Results matter, but the journey towards them matters too.


Our students talk about becoming more confident, more independent and more thoughtful actors — developing not only stronger audition material, but a deeper understanding of their craft.

"I would 100% recommend it to anyone that wants a better chance of getting into Drama School."

- Ella, East 15 - recent graduate

Ruby's Journey

Before Unlocked

“I really struggled with my confidence, and I had little faith that I would actually get an audition let alone any offers.”

During the programme

“The course pushed me outside my comfort zone and has made me grow in confidence.”

Going into auditions

“I felt so much more prepared and confident. I also felt that I was capable and deserved to go to drama school.”

Outcome

“I am still shocked at how many recalls I was able to attend because of the success of my self-tapes.”

Looking back

“Drama School: Unlocked is the reason I am going to drama school.”

- Ruby, Drama School: Unlocked graduate 2026

Lauren's Journey

Before Unlocked

“I was not even sure if I wanted to go! I was still considering doing a drama degree at university.”

During the programme

“I was surprised by how much attention we each received.”

Going into auditions

“I felt so much more confident; both in myself, and with what to expect on the day.”

Looking back

“The course was a blast, a highlight of my week, an unexpectedly ESSENTIAL part of my journey in gaining a place at drama school."

- Lauren, Drama School: Unlocked graduate 2026

What Parents Say

For parents, the drama school application process can be just as unfamiliar as it is for the actor.


Families frequently tell us that having experienced guidance throughout the process gives both them and their child greater clarity, confidence and reassurance — while allowing the young actor to take greater ownership of their preparation.

“Before Unlocked, we felt basically clueless about how to apply to acting schools...

I felt very out of my depth and hoped Marcus would take the strain — and that was the case. 


Lauren became much clearer about what the process entailed and gained a great deal of confidence. Marcus seemed to ‘get’ her very fast, pushed all the right buttons and made demands that were just right. 


He worked with me, as Lauren’s mum, in a brilliant way. He took the weight off. 


Lauren went on to receive two offers from good acting schools. 


It was the best thing I ever spent money on for Lauren.” 


— Ellie Lee, parent of Drama School: Unlocked student

"Drama School: Unlocked gave my son far more than help with audition pieces.

Marcus took time to understand his individual strengths, ambitions and areas for development, challenging him to improve while always making him feel supported.


By the time auditions began, he had well-prepared material, realistic expectations and much greater confidence in himself. For us as parents, this brought considerable reassurance and made a complicated process feel structured and manageable.


Most importantly, he grew not only as an actor but as a person — becoming more resilient, mature, motivated and independent. I would recommend Drama School: Unlocked without hesitation.”


— Shine Sibanda, parent of Drama School: Unlocked student. 

Success Looks Different for Every Actor

Drama school auditions are highly competitive, and no training programme can guarantee an offer.


What we can provide is rigorous training, experienced guidance and honest individual feedback — helping every actor develop their craft and approach the process as prepared as they can be.


We’re proud of the offers our students receive, but we’re equally proud of the confidence, independence and understanding they develop along the way.

Your Journey Starts Here

Every actor arrives at a different stage of their preparation.


Whether you’re beginning to understand the application process, ready to start developing your audition material or looking for sustained training throughout the audition year, Actor’s Nest can help you identify the right next step.
