LAMDA EXAMS
Exams in Acting, Musical Theatre, Public Speaking and more!
What are LAMDA exams?
LAMDA exams are an accredited qualification in theatre and dramatic arts, examined by one of the UK's top drama schools, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).
Every year, EYT prepares over 100 students for their LAMDA exams, from the ages of 9 to 18. As they begin their LAMDA journey, students can learn to perform short monologues and poems, working their way up to classic texts and complex modern works when they reach the higher grades.
There are exams in Acting, Musical Theatre, Shakespeare, and many more! These qualifications contribute points to your UCAS application for British universities, and are recognised worldwide as valuable experience which can added to your CV or university application!
Why do LAMDA?
LAMDA class is where you develop yourself as an individual performer. While youth theatre classes focus on team performance and working with a group, LAMDA is taught one-on-one with your teacher. It's also a more academic course, delving deeper into the theory behind performing and the history of theatre. You'll learn new techniques, like how to break down a script, how to breathe for the stage, improve your movement, and much more.
​
This is a great course for students who want to take acting seriously, and also for those students who are looking for personal improvement: either in their acting, their singing, their public speaking or their general communication.

Exam subjects
Acting
​
Acting Exam learners develop their vocal, physical and interpretive skills while they delve into characters and explore the background of dramatic texts. Alongside producing authentic performances of their chosen scenes, they also gain an understanding of the context and characters within them.
Musical Theatre
​
Our Musical Theatre learners develop their acting skills through song. They use vocal techniques to convey the right mood, and engage with the material to form a thoughtful interpretation of the song. As they progress through the grades, learners explore characterisation through monologues or duologues, which are performed in character and act as an introduction to their songs. They’ll also deepen their understanding of the history of musical theatre by performing songs from a range of eras, and by researching the work and influence of one of its composers or lyricists.
Speaking In Public
​
Speaking in Public exams prepare our learners for a task that daunts so many people. Learners write their own speeches, researching the topics, creating visual aids and presenting them from memory (although they can use notecards, if they prefer). As they progress through the grades they will develop the ability to speak clearly and project their voice for an audience. They’ll discover the techniques they require to engage an audience and to structure their speech effectively.
Speaking Verse and Prose
​
Verse and Prose learners develop a whole host of skills, from speaking clearly and using voice projection, to improving memorisation and building an understanding of poetry and prose which supports studies in English literature. As learners progress through the levels they interact with the texts, responding to them with imagination and using body language and expression to engage an audience.
How classes work
How it works
The courses are based on the format of our very successful teaching at the British School of Brussels over many years. We deliver the course through a hybrid video and in-person programme of one-to-one sessions (four in-person and eight video classes). Video classes are scheduled on weekday evenings.
We also offer the course through fully in-person classes on Saturday afternoons - only at our base in The Umbrella Factory near Tours & Taxis – with our Founder, Lynne.
Higher grades need more teaching time so, as the level increases, fees increase accordingly.
Students will need to commit additional time outside of classes (at least one hour per week at starter grades) to memorise texts, practice and (at higher levels) read the full plays and do research on character development.
Hybrid course
​
The hybrid course is split between 8 video classes, from September to November, on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings, and 4 in-person classes at The Umbrella Factory asbl (address below).
Classes are taught one-on-one with a specialised LAMDA teacher.
In-person course​
​
The in-person course features 10 in-person classes (longer than video classes), from September to November, on Saturday afternoons at The Umbrella Factory asbl (address below).
Classes are taught one-on-one by Lynne, our founder and most experienced teacher.
