<p>Acting isn’t just Shakespeare and film. There is so much in between and so much more out there. </p>
<p>At Point Park there are lots of students who are acting majors who can sing. Some take private voice off campus. Some may take voice on campus too. Eventually, actors who are so inclined audition for the MT minor, which is kind of a best of both worlds answer. I’ve seen MTs do great work with leads in straight plays there, and I’ve seen acting majors do very well in musical leads there over the past two years alone. I don’t know what it is like at most schools, but PPU or a program like it might be a good fit. </p>
<p>“Actor who can sing” is not a bad thing if you ask me. It opens up the potential job market quite a bit. And, being an above average actor who can sing is an important tool to have in the box, especially in a sea of sameness. </p>
