@junior72 I have been through the college audition process for two BFA Acting kids already and now my third is going the MT auditioning route this year. My youngest is indecisive like your son. Someone here at CC suggested that we print all the curricula of the possible schools, delete the schools’ names, and talk about them. This was the best thing we could’ve done. All of the curricula are available for at least 12 of the schools on your list (because they were on our son’s too). The first few, he had no idea what he was looking for. But then, it was like a light went on. He’d realize that he liked a dance, or stage combat, or acting style sequence that certain schools offered and others didn’t. We were able to get him from 25 down to 15 in one weekend. And the beauty of it was that he wasn’t dazzled by the big name of the school. He really figured out what appeals to him as far as style and intensity of training. At least for today…
