| Re: Brent Wagner
Theatermom,
Oh wow... I read my post, and I really worded the thing about Brent Wagner and my voice teacher totally wrong! It almost seemed that I came across a bit, contemptable, towards Brent Wagner... lol. I didn't mean it at all! Just a mess up w/ words. :-) Also, I don't know if you thought I was saying that Mr. Wagner graduated from UofM?? If so, just to clarify, I was talking about my voice teacher. (I thought it could have been either way, but again, just to clarify what I meant.) I was going to send you a private message, but I thought I should really clarify myself publicly. lol.
I have TONS of respect for what my new voice teacher tells me... I don't know if I should say his name on here, but he DOES know what he's talking about. And? I really should listen to him... He's been a professional theatre artist for 15 years, is a voice teacher at NYU CAP21, has connections up the wazzoo in the musical theatre world, and is an absolutely AMAZING teacher!(I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be one of his students.!)Anyway, UofM is my first choice college musical theatre program - it rocks!! I've studdied the program for a year or so now... I also live in Michigan, so that is a plus, too! What you said kind of drives it home, how I really should, all out, be going to the UofM workshop. (since UofM IS my top-choice school) I have looked at the CMU pre-college and the NYU camps, as well... But right now, my parents aren't really going for the nyu one... cause It's so far. But, those are my other two other "top, top" choices for BFA MT programs.
I guess i'm kind of in a tough/confusing/crucial decision-making process right now as far as theatre camps go... Either I stay home for most of the summer, and try to fit in some community theatre shows, go to the UofM workshop, and prepare for college auditions next fall, OR audition for Interlochen (maybe, make it in...) go there for the entire summer, have the time of my life (not saying I wouldn't have the time of my life @ UofM!), then prepare for college auditions. *sigh* Life is full of decisions... But, on the bright side, at least I HAVE decisions to make - that's a blessing in and of itself!
Okay, so now that I've gone into my annoyingly normal ruitine of blasting everyone w/ my verbal vomit and rambling on and on. . . I'll just sum up by saying, Thank you, for your insight and information you gave me in your post, Theatremom. I do truly, appreciate you help! :-)
All the Best!
