Alberta Drama Acting letter of intent
Alberta's BFA Drama Acting is a three-year conservatory program. Its admissions guide lists a letter of intent with a theatre résumé, headshot, two references from teachers or directors, and an audition. The public guide does not publish a universal letter prompt or word limit.
Writing format
Letter of intent, theatre résumé, headshot, two references, and audition
What to prepare
- 1Explain what acting work you have done and what you learned from a specific rehearsal, performance, or class.
- 2Connect your artistic direction to the program's training in acting, movement, voice, and performance for stage or camera.
- 3Keep the letter focused on motivation and development while the separate résumé records roles and training.
How to approach the writing
- Prepare the letter alongside the audition requirements rather than treating it as the entire application.
- Ask two teachers or directors who can describe your work and confirm the current reference and audition submission process.
Before you submit
Alberta's program guide names the additional materials but gives no general letter limit or current audition date. Confirm the next cycle's departmental instructions before submitting anything.
