Inclusive Practice and Additional Arrangements

Inclusive Practice for Auditions and Interviews

Our aim is to provide an inclusive, welcoming audition/interview environment and to cater for all types of learners by accommodating their needs wherever practicable. For all candidates to feel comfortable and to perform at their best, panels will: 

•provide clear, concise instructions and questions, and to repeat them if required;

•allow time for candidates to process and respond to questions;

•be ready to re-phrase questions for clarity and better comprehension;

•speak slowly and clearly, as best they can. 

Printed materials 

All printed materials supplied by the school (such as sight-reading tasks for music, if applicable):

  • Will be provided on off-white paper and in large print
  • Coloured overlays will be made available on request
  • Candidates are invited to bring their own overlays or assistive technologies to read printed materials. 

If you are unsure whether you will be required to access printed materials produced by the school as part of your audition/interview, please contact disability@gsmd.ac.uk to request details about the process for your department/discipline. 

Please note there are no sight-reading requirements for the Acting programme or Production Arts programmes.
