<p>I can only speak of how it was organized the year we went to this event. There was first a big Tisch welcoming event for parents and kids in Skirball and it was about Tisch overall with the Dean and other major faculty presentations. Then, the kids all went to sessions for their area of Tisch and so all Tisch Drama students went to a session on that. I can’t recall if that session broke up into studios or not after that (I think it may have but remember just the students were in this part) but many students from each studio were present for questions. There was a reception following all this for parents and students where many Tisch faculty and students were available for questions and so I recall we spoke to a CAP21 student. Now, I don’t think necessarily that faculty from each studio were present as this was a Tisch event and the faculty in most of the studios are not Tisch faculty, but rather studio faculty (though ETW, for example, is a Tisch studio with Tisch faculty). BUT…they had students from all the studios there and they are very helpful in answering questions. There are Tisch faculty there who can answer quetions as well but may not be from the studio itself but can answer questions. Really shoot to meet students from your studio and that really helps. They will be available at the event and in the reception milling around and have tags on. </p>
<p>I agree with happy2be…there is not a lot of free time to go all over the city and take additional classes and it also costs money. </p>
<p>As far as private voice…it is available at no extra charge for acting studio students as an elective though there may be a waiting list and not all can be accommodated I have heard. </p>
<p>My D started out in CAP and is a MT student for sure and did that studio for five semesters and so she had the private voice teacher through CAP. When she switched to ETW, she wanted to continue with private voice since she is a MT actor primarily. She could have switched to a new voice teacher and gotten the elective voice credits, but she wanted to stay with her CAP voice teacher (the ones contracted through CAP and often teach at their own private studios in the city) and did not want to change voice teachers. We could have made her change voice teachers so that it was included in tuition because the CAP voice teacher is not an option if you are in a different studio other than CAP. It so happens that she received a few extra scholarships this year that we did not know about or were not expected and we had planned without knowing about these. We allowed her to keep the money from one of the scholarships and to use it to pay to continue with her CAP voice teacher that way. It costs $60/lesson.</p>
