my dd (nearly 16) has mentioned that she would like to start acting/drama classes. she has taken LAMDA exams right up to silver level, but I don't know how transferable these exams are given she hasn't had any drama specific classes before, her lessons were in drama but geared towards the LAMDA exams. I do think they would help her as she is very shy. the class near us aren't selective (don't require an audition) but seem good, they had a play win an award last year.
TIA
