llong39, was this panel for one specific school and audition? Just curious…My S also attended a public high school in a small town with no drama classes just a fall play and spring musical. He had no formal dance training, just learning choreography for various musicals (school, community theatre, and professional childrens’ theatre in Milwaukee) but did have private voice lessons and a little monologue coaching his senior year of high school. After reading about others’ years of training in all MT aspects, I was afraid my S was woefully unprepared, though I knew he was talented and prayed auditioners would see his “potential”. He was very happy with most of his auditions and especially enjoyed the auditions where the auditors worked with him on his monologues during the audition. 2 of those schools accepted him and must have seen his potential, talent and liked how he took direction despite the lack of formal training and non-pa high school.
