I agree that location and fit are important. I do not know how cost compares, but that should be a consideration too. We worked with MTCA and would highly recommend them. One thing I like is that they have several different coaches so they try to find the right ones to fit your style and needs. Among others, they have several: Song Selection/Performance coaches, Vocal Tech Coaches, Monologue Coaches, and Dance Coaches. My D’s Monologue Coach was also her audition process guide. I think that is how it usually works. You can pick and choose what coaching you need, go at your own pace, and pay as you go. My D used a local Vocal Coach instead of MTCA’s to cut on cost and to make things easier. She met with the Dance Coach once to assess her skills and strengths/weaknesses, but used a local person to choreograph her pre-screen dance. She only attended one Mock Audition, went to several of their Dance classes, but didn’t go to any Master Classes. If we were to do it again, we would have probably taken advantage of more that they offer.
