Hi everyone,
I’ve seen advice for actors at URTAs, but I was wondering if there were any costume design MFAs who could speak to the experience? I’m trying to find ways to get a leg up, make myself appealing, but I’m not sure what my competition will look like. So, does anyone have any advice?
Also, as a side note - does anyone have advice on how to get more design credits? I go to a school that’s more focused on grad students, so there’s not many opportunities for undergrads to design. I only have two design credits to my name, and an assistant design position. I’ve seen a lot of internships and apprenticeships online, but these seem to be more about construction (ie working as a stitcher or draper). Is there anywhere I should be looking to find opportunities?
Thanks for any advice y’all have! Really interested to hear from folks who’ve got costume design experience.
