A reasonable plan...and a nit-picky question

<p>Ok, so I've been posting sporadically throughout this semester about my MT plans for the future. I've decided that my best option is to prepare now for a grad school or professional training program like CAP21 once I complete my current, non-MT degree (which will probably end up taking me 5 years). From all the posts I've made and read, does this sound like a reasonable plan to prepare for grad school?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>More voice lessons!</p></li>
<li><p>Lots of dance, focusing on ballet and jazz, with tap when I have the time.</p></li>
<li><p>Get in as many shows as possible - both MT and straight acting.</p></li>
<li><p>Try for either a summer intensive or summer stock theater in a few years.</p></li>
<li><p>Once I get closer, get a vocal coach to supplement regular voice lessons. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>(There is also the possibility I could do a straight theater minor, my school also has a dance minor but you have to audition and I'm not that good...yet)</p>

<p>And as far as the nit-picky question part...I was thinking of trying out for either an a cappella group (of which my college has about 10) or my college's show choir. Which one would be more relevant and relatable to my potential MT graduate school training?</p>

<p>This sounds like a good plan, especially #1-3. I like the idea of focusing on ballet and jazz, and adding tap when u have time. I would say your college’s show choir, just because it makes sense.</p>

<p>Thanks for your suggestion - I did think the show choir would be more helpful considering it combines singing and dance.</p>
