| ProudPapa, thanks for your post. We are all pretty aware that it is as you say: this is a business where you will fail more often than you will succeed (her acting coach offered that observation.) It's about how you move from each attempt to the next. It's just that SO much emphasis is made on making "the right choice" at the age of 17 and a half. I have an older daughter that started as a film major and got into one of the top programs; after 2 years she transferred to another school because she wanted a niche production aspect of film: sound design, and her film school didn't offer enough in that area. Her transfer was a huge success, she received a talent scholarship and she will be hopefully graduating in 2007.
I wish there was more insight into the ACTING versus the MT program on this thread. Thanks again. Good luck to your daughter; we hope to talk w/some students during our visit next week! |
