<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>I am lucky that there is a performing arts program at my highschool where for half a day you can take a bus over to the community college and take classes in either Voice, Acting, or Dance. However, you can only one of those and not all. Which should I choose to ensure I get the most from it?</p>

<p>If it were me, and everything was equal, (meaning all three teachers were excellent in their field), I’d take the acting class.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that classes are only as good as the material being taught and the person who teaches it.</p>
<p>You are lucky to have an opportunity like that…</p>
<p>Yes, take all three if you are able to. If you have to make a choice I would suggest you work on that which is most difficult for you. If you don’t really dance - take this opportunity to train in dance. If you acting in lacking - hone those skills, if singing is your Waterloo - work on that.</p>
<p>You can make the most strides in the area that has the greatest distance to cover!</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. I’m not sure about the teachers- I should probably ask around. But after reviewing the classes it seems that the Singing program is more focused towards Musical Theater. And what a coincidence(!), my singing is infact my weakest point (better character singer than actually technically good singer). I’ve also had not a lot of vocal training. Tommorow I’m going to go talk to a school administrater so I’ll ask about the teachers and stuff. Thanks for replying.</p>
<p>I would say, like above, work on your weakest thing, since you have the choice. Otherwise, try to do all three. But remember…I dont know where i was told this, but it was by someone important somewhere-</p>
<p>There are more jobs for good actors who can sing and dance than good singers who can act dance etc. </p>
<p>Just because with acting you can do like commericals, film, tv, plays, musicals. A lot more stuff than just music or dance. </p>
<p>I think it makes sense, but I could be wrong.</p>

<p>“There are more jobs for good actors who can sing and dance than good singers who can act dance etc.”</p>
<p>I couldn’t agree with this statement more. This is my personal opinion.</p>
<p>That’s good news to me! I feel pretty confident in my acting skills. Thanks!</p>
