Students will play characters presenting scenes to an audience. They will explore the text, character and use their imagination to create a sense of reality for an audience.
They will develop their voice, diction, movement skills, empathy and self-awareness.
The knowledge section of these exams enables students to learn how to develop characters for performance.
My child made huge progress as a result of her LAMDA lessons. For her to have learned to interpret a monologue, act it out and answer questions about it, as well as confidently take the exam was a huge boost to her overall confidence! We were supported every step of the way which – especially because of her dyslexia, made a big difference! Thank you!

Which exam is right for my child?
I empower my students by giving them the choice of the exam they wish to study.
In the initial lesson, I will offer your child a taste of the main LAMDA exams (Acting, Speaking Verse and Prose and Speaking in Public) and gauge which of them sparks your child’s interest the most.
If your child has taken a LAMDA exam before and they’re keen to progress to the next grade of the same exam, then I will assess them for the next grade up.
Giving students the freedom to choose their exam gives them full ownership over their work. It motivates them to complete any exercises they need to practice in between lessons and it is an important first step as we begin to grow their confidence and self belief.
Whichever exam your child decides to work towards, each is a different route to the same destination. That is – improved public speaking skills and an increase in confidence. LAMDA’s exams enable students to develop a powerful presence to captivate and build rapport with any audience or anyone now and in their future lives.
My child is having such a lovely time – it’s giving her so much confidence and we’re so incredibly grateful!
