Actor Training Academy
The Actor Training Academy (ATA) is an opportunity for students who are starting to think more seriously about Drama and Musical Theatre skills and may be considering the Performing Arts as a potential career choice. The Academy is through audition only and those who gain a place are allocated extra lessons to work with our coaches to receive specialist acting training. You do not have to be a Drama and Theatre Studies student in order to audition for the Actor Training Academy. All ATA students have the opportunity to be entered for LAMDA Grade examinations which can carry up to 30 UCAS points. ATA students will also be offered training for auditions for drama schools and upcoming productions. Students also receive workshops from outside specialists from drama schools about audition technique, voice work and have even been auditioned for drama school places at the College.
NATIONAL YOUTH THEATRE

The Actor Training Academy offers all of its members a formal training process for National Youth Theatre auditions. Hereford Sixth Form College prepares a large number of students for the National Youth Theatre; this strong relationship means that students are able to audition at the College rather than at a regional audition centre. Hereford Sixth Form College has a significantly high success rate for National Youth Theatre auditions and this reflects the dedication of Actor Training Academy students and the quality of the training they receive.
