The Redirection Wheel
Spin the wheel and challenge yourself with fresh ways to play your speech - just like a real in person recall. Keep your work flexible, creative and recall ready.
A supportive community
We get it - not everyone around you is auditioning for drama school so it can feel like a lonely experience. And there is such a lack of information out there about how to really make your time in the audition room count.
Encouragement, support and guidance are desperately needed.
That's why we're putting community at the heart of act.cool.
Chat, share and support likeminded actors going through the same process as you.
Together we can be stronger, better equipped and ready to take on the challenges of the audition season ahead.
And who knows? You might be meeting each other in real life in those important recall stages!
Reminder: speech share workshop Tuesday 6pm UK time.
