Associated Studios London

I studied on the One Year Musical Theatre Course at Associated Studios and throughly loved every second of it. I have developed so much as an actress, singer, dancer and person from my time here and really cannot thank the school enough for all it has taught me. A fantastic, inclusive and positive place. I cannot recommend enough!!

I have always loved the performing arts, but I hadn't formally trained before coming to Associated Studios. I started the course with little to no industry expertise and very 'shaky' singing and acting technique. Now, 9 months later, it's a completely different story! My voice has gotten so much stronger! I have learnt a lot about my voice, both theoretically and practically. I have a strong technique to build on now. What I especially love is that I now have a great understanding of what I need to work on and HOW I need to work on it. This means that even outside of school hours I am constantly training and getting better and closer to my goals! As an actress I have gotten so much more confident, I have found my joy in performing back and I don't feel nervous when approaching a new script. It is hard to describe, but I feel like I have learnt how to "let go" whilst performing, something I struggled with so much before. I have also learnt so much about the industry. Before coming here the Musical Theatre industry felt like a far-away dream. I had no idea how to actually get there. Now, I am getting professional auditions and recalls, even during training. Thanks to Associated Studios I have also gotten agent interest. I would not have believed this all possible within one year of training, but Associated Studios has helped me get there! The single most greatest thing about Associated Studios is the personal support. Throughout this entire year, I feel like the principal has always had my back. She has been following and supporting my individual journey every step of the way. Not once have I felt like just a number. To say she has gone above and beyond to support my training and my career in the musical theatre industry would be an understatement. I just know I would not have been where I was today without her. Of course we have had many great tutors as well, who are so passionate about what they do and genuinely want the best for us. For our graduate show, our entire creative team was just amazing. It was such a joy working together. Giving feedback or advice was never too much to ask. I felt so supported by the tutors, for example: there were several tutors who, even when their teaching term ended, came to watch and support our show and/or our showcase (both in person and online) and continued to offer encouraging words, feedback and advice! If anyone has any questions about the school and would like to ask them to an (ex-)student, feel free to message me! :)

I've done the Foundation course and am currently studying on the MA Musical Theatre Performance course here. When you're a student at Associated Studios, you become part of a family. During my time here, the team described the school as 'the industry as we'd like to see it'. This means small, supportive and diverse year groups. It doesn't matter what you look like or what your background is. If you're talented, hard-working and kind, there's a place for you at Associated Studios. The class sizes are smaller which gives you more valuable time with your tutors. The tutors that taught us here all have impressive CV's working in the industry and teaching at some of the biggest drama schools. This is reflected in the quality of your training. Even during a global pandemic, the team at Associated Studios did the best they could to give us valuable and impactful training, as safely as they possibly could. Which even included the possibility to safely perform in an on stage production of Hair and an agent showcase. Over the past two years of training here, this beautiful building on Latimer Road has come to feel like home.
