Graduate feedback:
Thank you very much for the Spotlight evening on the 25th of February, it was absolutely invaluable and I am so appreciative of the help and advice that was so kindly given.
Thank you very much again, it is so encouraging knowing that we have help within the industry and knowing how to deal with life outside Drama School.
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the Spotlight Graduate Programme evening. It was thoroughly enjoyable and invaluable in terms of what we discovered. Having had time to absorb all the information, I am acutely aware of how important it is for graduate students to have the opportunity to learn about the topics covered over the evening. It has given me a great platform in terms of my personal planning for the next few crucial and vulnerable years after graduation.
A big thank you for the workshop on Monday eve, it was really good fun, useful, and has got got me very excited about going into the industry.
It was really very useful and helpful and just wanted to thank you again for organising it for the graduates.
I just wanted to take this opportunity in thanking you for a great evening! It was so beneficial and I really enjoyed the talks and meeting you.
Just wanted to say thanks a lot for the graduate event last night. I found it really helpful and it was great to meet some of the Spotlight clan and other students. I think it's brilliant you're holding these things. It makes a big difference knowing you're there to make sense of the cryptic world of casting! And the food and wine went down well too...
I just wanted to thank you all for Monday evening! It was a great opportunity to not only find out where your office in London is located, but also learn more about the business side of acting. All of your staff were very helpful and friendly and I found it so beneficial.
Thank you for the invaluable information I received on Monday. I travelled from Birmingham to attend the event and it was definitely worth the train journey.
I attended your first graduates evening, Commercial Casting, which I found very useful and informative. It was such a welcoming enviroment and your team were so helpful, thanks!
