Explore whether some experience is a requisite or

• Each acting school is different. And hence, their
  selection criteria is different. Many reputed
  acting schools or drama schools ask for some
  experience in acting or performing arts.
• As an aspiring candidate, you need to know
  whether an acting school asks for it or not. If
  not, it is good for you to get into such one
  without any acting experience. You must try to
  have some experience in acting if a prestigious
  drama school asks for it.
• And for this, you can do self practice at your
  home. Further, you can make a group and start
  participating in a local theatre. If possible,
  make a short film to show your talent or join a
  local production house.

• Applying to a prestigious acting school can be
  expensive for you. Some of you might not be able
  to bear the fees of such a film institute. So, it
  is essential for you to know the entry
  requirements and fee structure of a particular
  acting school before applying into a course
  there.
