I know several students who went to AMDA. I caught up with the parent of one freshman male, who is the most talented MT singer I have seen perform, and the student is very happy. He’s getting training and he’s getting an education in “the business” - auditions, agents, marketing. If that’s what you want AMDA is an option. I think it gets a bad “rep” because they admit a lot of people of varying talent … but they also have a lot of successful alums, so obviously the program works for many.
