<p>mtlover7, as a high school sophomore, now is the perfect time to to map out a game plan for college applications and auditions. As others have stated, your immediate focus should be on getting the right vocal and dance training. Make sure your voice teacher stresses technique and vocal health and covers MT repertoire. Look for a teacher that works with high school students seeking to audition for MT programs. Dance classes should focus on ballet technique as a foundation and also take classes in jazz. Audition and participate in school and community shows. If you can, participate in a summer intensive at a university that houses a BFA program for the training, for the experience of working with other talented students from across the country and to enable you to get a feel of what a BFA program is like.</p>
