Wow, you must not know how to read these forums or you would know how much critical anaylsis is done of these programs. My D did extensive research on all aspects of the programs on her list BEFORE she applied and then continued to analyze them as she auditioned and got her acceptances. She researched the faculty, the alumni, the types of training, the class schedules. the perfomance options - everything about them. She also looked at her “other” options - not going to college but continuing to train/audition/work. Then she followed not only the research but her heart to the school she now attends.</p>
<p>I am really tired of you posts here and on the Parents Forum. My D was a successful actor in Austin before she went to college. She has theatre, film and television credits. She is performing in college while continuing to train and grow as an actor and as a person. She goes in to every audition with the goal to do her best and to get the role. But it isn’t about kicking on everyone else in the waiting room. It is about taking all she is and all she knows into the audition and going for it. It isn’t her against the other actors. It is her and the role and the moment.</p>
<p>If you have something of value to offer to the kids/parents using this forum as a meaningful seach tool in their COLLEGE application process, by all means go ahead and post. You have made your point about actors who did it another way. We all get it. My D has gone through the process and I continue to read and post because we learned things - much of it here on CC - along the way that I am happy to share with those who are now walking this path. Many others post here for the same reason. </p>
<p>Perhaps you can start a new website called IKnowEveythingAboutActing Confidential.com.</p>
