| The suggestions to assess one's strengths when choosing colleges is a great one. I find too many kids are not realistic. They know, for example, that their voice is not their strength but want a MT program, yet they are very good actors. They should include some acting programs or at least programs that will consider them for either MT or Acting. Someone who loves MT can attend a BFA for Acting or even a BA Theater program and still be involved in MT or hope to go into it and should select acting/theater programs that still put on musicals or have some opporunity to take voice or dance even though it won't be like a MT program. I know many in BA or BFA drama programs who are very skilled at MT and are still involved in it and still hope to do it. That path is still a viable one! |
