Prairie Flower,
Sorry, didn't answer your other questions:
Her audition experience was wonderful. She was made to feel very comfortable and especially loved the acoustics of the room in which she sang and did her monologue.
Interestingly enough, my D should be the poster child for not having to have a long list of MT credits in order to be accepted in a strong BFA MT program. For most of her life, she thought she'd be a dancer and only started focusing on MT in her junior year of high school. She now says she can't believe the resumes and experiences of many of her classmates at UM and pinches herself every day that she was accepted with so little experience. Her training was limited to Quaker high school drama (not really acting) classes, select choir, a capella and chorus, 3 high school musicals, 1 professional acting credit as a 12 year old, the summer program at CMU and 2 years of private classical voice training (along with her many years of dance - mostly ballet). So you see, anything is possible!
She was reasonably strong academically. A- average and 1260 SAT's.
Hope this helps. |
