Why I chose APTA... •
Great facilities for this course
•
The teachers are outstanding and I do believe that you don’t have to be in London to get professional training
•
I wanted to extend my knowledge and training further
Next Steps...
I like that the course covers singing, dancing and acting. We learn the practical elements and cover in-depth research behind techniques used. Constructive feedback is always provided by our tutors too. During this course I have been able to focus on my singing, which is my weaker skill, and I now feel more comfortable when going to auditions and performing a song.
Having worked at Disneyland Paris as a dancer and performer, and in other productions, Abigail is no stranger to the industry. After completing FdA Musical Theatre, she is hoping to gain more jobs and qualifications that can help towards her aspiration of teaching.
