FAQ

1. Q: What preparations are needed before the exam?

A: Firstly, understand the exam process, rules and content, get the ASDAN China's exam preparation guide and pre-exam
instruction emails, prepare and practice accordingly. ASDAN Academy will also offer professional drama training courses
before each exam, to provide candidates with more systematic and professional pre-examination guidance. On the day of the
exam, simply follow the required dress code and time to take the exam.

2. Q: Where to take the online exam and what are the requirements for the exam venue?
A: Solo exams require a space of 2-2.5 square meters; Ensure that there are not too many unnecessary items in the
background to not interfere or distract the examiner.

3. Q: Can I watch other examinees' performance?

A: No. There are always three (groups) people in the Zoom exam room: NEA examiner, ASDAN examination teacher, and
examinee(s) during this period. Candidates to be examed will wait in the Zoom waiting room, and need to exit Zoom
immediately after finishing the exam.

4. Q: Can I register for an exam lower or higher than my own age level? Can I jump grades when applying
for the next exam?
A: Yes. The suggested ages for each level listed are all for reference only. Parents and teachers can choose the appropriate
level to apply for according to the students’ actual English proficiency and professional level. Candidates can choose to take
any higher-level exam after completing a certain level of exam. There are no restrictions on the age of candidates from the
NEA exam committee.

5. Q: Can I have assistant performers to help with my acting?

A: Any other non-candidates, such as assistant performers, are not allowed in any acting certification exams of NEA.

6. Q: Can I use self-created plays instead of classic plays for exam?

A: It is allowed but not very recommended to use self-created plays for acting exams, unless it is very well written decent
pieces by professionals.

7. Q:If I sign up for multiple performance exams, can I reuse the clips that I have performed?
A: No. According to NEA official examination regulations, candidates are not allowed to reuse clips that have been performed
in previous examinations. A new performance must be prepared for each examination.

8. Q: How long will it take to know my scores and receive trophies and certificates after the exam?
A: The results will be published after 3-4 weeks of the exam. ASDAN China will send out hardcopy certificates, reports and
medals to the address left by all students around 3 weeks after the publication of the result.

9. Q: For younger candidates, can adults be allowed to assist in setting up electronic devices?
A: For candidates under 12, one parent or teacher is allowed to enter the examination room during the examination period
to help with operating electric equipment (computer/mobile), supervising the examination screen to make sure it meets the
exam standard, but cannot try to help or distract the examinee in any way. If the above situation occurs, the examiner will stop
the exam and consider the exam result invalid.

10. Q: How to ensure the justice of online exams?

A: The online exam mode requires candidates to use digital devices with a camera to take the exam. ASDAN China will assign
a teacher to be in the same Zoom room with the examiner and students to assist the examiner. To ensure the fairness of the
examination:

-ID verification: ID/hukou book/passport and other documents need to be shown to prove the identity of the examinee;

-Zoom software will record the whole process of the examinee's examination, and there should be no information and
personnel unrelated appeared in the surroundings;

The above-mentioned online examination mode has been communicated with the NEA committee with its full agreement.
 Academic Guides

Pause
The use of pause gives life and shape to our speaking and reading.

Sense Pause
Taken to make the meaning clear but not always shown by punctuation.

Dramatic Pause
Is a pause of intense feeling. It indicates feelings such as anger, sadness or joy. The pause may be sustained for
as long as the full strength of the feeling can be held. It should be used with great care.

Grammatical/Punctuation Pause
This pause occurs at punctuation marks and they give a guide to the length of pause. A full stop allows renewal
of breath.

Modulation
A well modulated voice uses a variety of pitch, pace, pause, inflection, tone colour, quality and quantity to suit the text.
Modulation is the umbrella term that encompasses these vocal qualities.

Pitch
The range of the voice e.g.
High pitch – Excitement/joy/fear/anger
Medium pitch – Conversation/description and storytelling
Low pitch - Pleading, sorrow and some kinds of fear and anger
Pace
The tempo that the words are spoken
Quick pace - Excitement/Panic/Nervousness
Medium pace – Used for conversation (see medium pitch)
Slow pace - Thoughtfulness (See low pitch)
Inflection
This is the glide of the voice up and down the vocal scale that gives meaning to words.
Pause
A stoppage of sound but not of thought. We pause to take a breath to bring meaning and to emphasise
Tone quality – The feel of the voice whether hard or gentle etc.,
Tone quantity - This is the amount of volume given to the voice whether loud or soft etc.,
Tone colour– Allowing the tone to reflect the emotion and subtlety of the text
Emphasis – Means stress to bring out a word or words to make them more important. This can be done in different ways:
• Make the word louder
• Change the pitch and pace of the voice
• Take a pause before or after the word

Breathing
Breathing is essential for life. There are three main ways to breathe
Abdominal (Lower chest)
Relaxed breathing when we are sitting or sleeping
Clavicular
Breathing when the air is inhaled and exhaled using the top part of the chest, this may cause stiffness in the
shoulders and neck which doesn’t provide no real vocal support and lack of vocal quality.
Intercostal diagphragmatic breathing
This method is used to give full support to voice and speech.
As we breathe in the external intercostal muscles contract raising the ribs upward and outward. The diaphragm
then moves from its normal dome shape into a flattened position allowing more room for the lungs to expand.
This support allows a controlled stream of air to travel through the windpipe, between the vocal folds to create
sound and continues into the mouth. The sound will pick up resonance as it travels.

Voice production
Projection
This involves the balance between mind, body and voice to ensure good clear communication. It is essential to
appear to be confident with good stance, involvement and audience eye contact when speaking.
Vocal projection
Relies on good vocal support, balanced resonance, forward placing and the voice is then kept within its
optimum pitch to avoid strain and shouting.

Forward placing
The forward placing of sound (the direction of the sound to the front of the face) may be checked when
vibrations are felt on the lips e.g. humming an MMM sound.

Resonance
Is the amplification of the voice using resonators (hollow chambers) of the head and body. The sound travels
from the vocal folds on the outgoing air and develops strength along with tone from the resonators as it passes
by or through. A clear well projected voice makes a balanced use of all the resonators.

Main resonators are: Nose and nasal cavities

Sinuses around the eyes and forehead
Pharynx at the back of the throat, can change shape slightly
Mouth the only resonator that can change shape and size at will
Mouth cavities hard and soft palate
Chest or thorax
Good breath support along with Forward placing of sound is essential for obtaining balanced resonance and
may be acquired with practice.
