Bloch pointe shoe fitting

I’ve received the all clear from my ballet teacher to get en pointe after nearly a year restarting ballet! For context, I previously trained from the age of 3 - 10 however chose horse riding over dance🙈 I restarted dance in all different disciplines 2 years ago. I’ve been taking regular ballet classes for nearly a year and have been using therabands to strengthen my ankles and feet every day the past 2 months. I’m really nervous for my fitting however, it’s at Bloch, if anyone else has had a fitting at Bloch, could you please tell me what it was like, what positions they asked you to demonstrate etc? I’m autistic so really like to know EXACTLY what to expect😅

Drama school advice

Hey there! I’ve just been offered a place at mountview Hartford campus, however I’m moving to London in July, which they’re aware of, meaning I’ll be much closer to the Peckham campus, I was wondering if anyone was successful in fighting for their first choice campus and if it’s worth it or if I should accept my place at the Hartford campus? Thanks!

Imposter syndrome

Was wondering if any other professionals could help advise me?
I 21F have only been in the industry for over a year, the past year I’ve gotten lucky with opportunities. I used to do theatre when I was younger but took an extremely long break. Now I’m back in the industry, I’ve been lucky enough to get in the room for various west end productions thanks to my agent, but I just feel as if I’m not “talented” enough. I’m constantly feeling like I do not belong in those rooms, I am constantly comparing and judging myself against others who have far more talent and skill than me but who aren’t getting the same auditions and I feel like I’m taking away their opportunities. I’m not too sure if this comes from lack of training as I never went to drama school (however I have vocal training 3x a week and dance 3x a week) but I just feel like I’m not good enough and that my vocals SUCK. Any other working professionals also feel this way? Does the feeling go away the more you book? How do I manage it and not allow it to consume me before auditions? It’s gotten to the point where I am so scared to put up a new vocal reel on my spotlight.
