<p>I would add that by the second audition for the BFA, the professors know so much more about the student. They are not trying to make a decision based on 5 minutes of interaction, but have had hours and hours of class and studio time together. If you feel that over time your D is the type to really impress her teachers with her talent and work ethic, than a second audition is less worrisome. My D is a bit reserved with social chatter, but a star student, and both academic and acting teachers really come to appreciate her over time. We aren’t looking at any programs with a second audition: it just worked out that way, but I actually wouldn’t be worried if we were. She’s just the type teachers always come to love.
I am worried about her getting her personality out there in these 5 minute auditions though!!</p>
