CEPT Practice 1 Long Listening answer key

1. Brittany realised that she really enjoyed acting when
A she played at being an actor at home. 
B she attended some acting classes. 
C she took part in a school play.

Man:  We’ve got TV actress Brittany Briers in the studio. Brittany, how did you discover your love of acting?
Brittany:  When I was twelve, Mum sent me to drama classes – I was always trying to be like TV characters at home, though I never thought that was acting. The others in the class were more experienced and that made me nervous, but I learned enough to act in a school play. Being on stage then was definitely what got me interested

2. How did Brittany feel before her first theatre performance?
A worried about forgetting her lines 
B anxious that she would use the wrong accent 
C nervous about appearing in front of a large audience

Man:  What was your first professional theatre performance like? 
Brittany:  You’ll probably expect me to say I felt calm ’cos of my training. The opposite was true! The person I played had an American accent – I kept thinking I’d go back to my own. I’m sure things like not remembering your lines are embarrassing when there’s a huge audience. I made sure that didn’t happen. 

3. Why did Brittany move into TV acting?
A She needed to earn more. 
B She lost interest in theatre work. 
C She wanted to try something new.

Man: Later you went into TV acting. Why? Brittany:  It wasn’t that I got bored of the theatre. I was seen on stage by a director who thought I was perfect for a TV series he was making. I thought ‘Why not learn some fresh skills?’ The extra money was useful ’cos I was saving for a house – I’d never take a job just for money though. 

4. What does Brittany still find difficult about screen acting?
A having to repeat scenes 
B learning to speak more quietly 
C not having an audience

Man:  Is TV filming more difficult than stage acting? 
Brittany:  It’s different. There’s no audience, no clapping. That’s strange at first, though the director will tell you when you’ve done well. Sometimes you film the same bit over and over. That’s annoying till you realize it’s important to get it right. Then, in a theatre you have to make sure people at the back can hear – on screen that sounds like shouting. I have to be reminded about that lots! 

5. Brittany particularly enjoys
A receiving a new part to learn. 
B attending special events for actors. 
C seeing her new films for the first time.

Man:  What do you love most about  your job? Brittany:  When a new TV series comes out and my family get excited – I prefer not to watch myself on screen and I’ve never been to any actors’ events – though I wouldn’t mind doing that one day. I get the real excitement from picking up the envelope containing my next role and I start reading the lines straight away. 

6. What does Brittany dislike about being an actor
A not having many holidays 
B being recognised in the street 
C starting work early in the morning


Man:  Is there anything you don’t like about being an actor?
Brittany:  Some people find it hard to deal with being recognized in the street. That isn’t my favourite part of the job but I accept it – most people are friendly. Getting up before it’s light is something I’ve never got used to, and I never will! But once a series is finished, you can take a long break if you need to.
