A YOUNG actor from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts led a master class with drama and performance students at Cronton Sixth Form College.

Tom Martin inspired and encouraged students to audition at some of the UK’s top drama schools.

He led a challenging and intense workshop, sharing some of the techniques taught to him at RADA.

Daniel Cambridge, a Cronton college performance tutor said: “This year more performance students at Cronton have applied to top drama schools.

“Tom’s visit is part of a programme of support for our students to help increase their chances of working in this tough, highly selective industry.

“ The programme involves advice and guidance on auditions and will include further master classes and trips aimed at giving our students a real insight into the gruelling audition process at most of the top drama schools in the country.”
