Auditioning for The Voice and performing at the 02 gives Robyn a taste for her future

A Performing Arts student is aiming for a place at drama school after getting a taste of being on the national stage performing at the 02 and auditioning for The Voice.

Robyn Dicks, 18, says she hopes to get to stage school and is working hard at boosting her auditioning skills.

The talented singer landed a place performing at the 02 in an anniversary concert of Emil Dale Performing Arts Academy, which she attends at weekends.

She also performed for judges on The Voice with a paced-down version of Radio Head’s song, Creep.

Although she did not get to the live shows, the experience, combined with the positive support of judges, gave her a boost to try again next year.

Robyn, of Warboys, said: “Singing at the 02 was amazing and seeing behind the scenes at The Voice was great.

“Both opportunities made me realise I want to work in the this field.

“Studying Performing Arts at Cambridge Regional College has helped give me confidence and helped me believe in myself, so much that I feel like a different person.

“The great thing about this course is we have all formed strong friendships and are like a support community to each other.

“The confidence boost from studying Performing Arts is good for life, regardless of if students choose this as a career or not,” she added.
