Training beyond the bachelor's degree...what are my options?

<p>I thought you had a thread on this before? I think I may have responded to it. But in any case, besides the few grad programs in MT, there are the professional training programs for someone like you such as CAP21 and Circle in the Square. Then, another option is to obtain great training by piecing it together, such as in NYC, training with a competent voice teacher for MT, taking dance classes at a very good studio, and enrolling in acting classes. During that time, you might also work part time jobs (maybe give sax lessons?). Meanwhile, try to audition for musicals (if you have natural talent) at any level to gain experience on stage and by doing. For example, do that now during the summers and also are there student run shows on campus? Join an a capella group? See if you can take any voice, dance, or acting classes at college or in the college’s local community now and not wait until you graduate? At many schools, you don’t have to be a major just to take a class or to be cast in a student run production. Also, use your college summers to take voice, dance, and acting, or if you can afford it, a summer MT intensive (there are some that take students your age, and there are threads on this forum that discuss them).</p>
