When speaking to Matin about his application process, he has the following advice:
“When applying to drama universities, you will try to fit into a norm that you think they expect. But once you go through interviews and auditions, you will realise they want to see someone with all their quirks, talents and even flaws. It is about being yourself and having fun and not getting too disappointed by rejection. My teacher really helped me to build my confidence – hearing feedback from a teacher that you trust is very beneficial during this important time.”
Congratulations, Matin, on this well-deserved accomplishment. May your journey ahead be marked by continued success, creativity, and fulfilment. Your focus determines your reality, there’s no mystical field that controls your destiny.
