Hello! My name is Charlotte and I am raising funds to help pay tuition fees for a one-year course at East 15 Acting School. I am beyond passionate about performing and entertaining people, which is why I'm pursuing training at such a prestigious institution, so as to hopefully one day perform professionally.
As I have already been to university (which coincidentally was where I realised that performing for people was what made me truly happy), I do not qualify for government-funded student finance. I will be leaving my full-time job at Sainsbury's in order to devote my self to this course, though I will probably still take up some extra shifts in the holidays to make more money, which will go towards my living costs, transport costs and tuition fees.
The course I am very proud to have been offered a place on is the Certificate of Higher Education course in Acting for Stage & Screen at the Southend campus. i chose this course, not only because it's relatively close to home and is for 1 year, as opposed to a full 3-year degree, but because I believe I would get so much out of it, and I hope to put all the skills and connections I gain throughout the course to good use as a professional actor.
Currently, most of my experience comes from my involvement in amateur dramatics, which I threw myself into immediately on returning from my final year at university. I have played multiple stage roles, including Alice in a Christmas production of 'The Vicar of Dibley', Elsie Kipling in 'My Boy Jack', and am currently rehearsing for a production of 'Oh What a Lovely War!'. Recently, I was also given the opportunity to feature in Sainsbury's new advert campaign, which was an amazing introduction into screen-acting, and really just made me even more certain that I want to act professionally. My absolute favourite thing to do is to make people smile and laugh, and to do that for a living (as corny as it sounds) would be a dream come true!
I have attached some headshots I got recently, as well as a few self-tapes, including the two monologues I used for my audition, which I hope you enjoy watching.
I will be forever grateful for any support you can offer, whether that's even just a few pounds, or simply sharing my story and fundraiser, it would mean the world to me! Thank you so much, Charlotte :)
