<p>Tyler, My son is in a BFA acting program and he has had a great experience in his program thus far. He had no training before college outside of his high school musicals. He worked hard on his monologues and did lots of research on the schools and the programs. Study acting as much as you can. Study the college application and audition process as much as you can. In the auditions, most programs are looking for kids who do a great job with their monologues, can think on their feet and take direction and are willing to work very hard. In some cases, a kid’s experience will help with that. In just as many cases, it will hurt.</p>
<p>Work hard and don’t sell yourself short. Explore BA and BFA programs. If you are accepted into programs, you will not be behind anyone else who is accepted. You will be there because you earned a spot just like anyone else.</p>
