We at Actor Awareness have created something called #WhyTheFee to question audition fees. In drama schools across the country they charge anywhere between £30-£80 for an audition. In no other industry do you pay for essentially a university interview. This creates a huge barrier for working class artists across the UK, because as actors, we are told not audition for just 1, but for numerous establishments. Then put travel and accommodation on top of that, which sets any family back a hefty sum of money. So I have started this petition to get as many signatures as possible, so I can go to various people in the industry and eradicate drama school audition fees.
